2nd 4th of the day I believe, and another one coming up in rugby sevens!

Gotta get that fourth...

 

Though realistically, I don't think she had it in her to reach the lead group

I think their point was why weren't the Canadians working together like the Aussies were.  The first Canadian went hard early and then just went off.  Kind of a waste.  

 

I mean, I get it, I'm just on my sofa watching.  But it's just the "killer instinct....to get 4th" that we see so often with Canadian athletes.

Why did Mitchell start so early in the women's 500m time trial?

 

She set a Commonwealth Games record!!!

 

Hopefully that's enough...

Games Record for Kelsey Mitchell!

Commonwealth record for Mitchell! We'll see if it gets broken again

These are strange races. Normally in a Points Race it is just one rider per country and there is never a question of team tactics. Aussies had agreed to ride as a team; England, Canada & NZL didn’t.

Mitchell still in the lead in the women's 500m time trial, but the Australian gauntlet remains. Can she survive?

The final Australian takes the gold, Mitchell with a third silver.
