But 5th to 8th can’t race for gold and silver.

Any early signs that that Lotus have done a real serious job on the bikes?

1-1 in the hockey hope @G-ann went wild

All 3 GB jumpers will advance to the finals  

[Grassmarket 3,589]

Men’s Cycling Team Pursuit already in the top half of the draw, so will be in the Gold/Silver stream tomorrow.

The Danes falling off the time there is big. Puts us into the 2 v 3 matchup, which is slightly better than being in the 1 v 4 matchup, although obviously both SFs are going to be super competitive.

Surprised at the Italians there. That being said, still glad we've avoided them in the SF.

[Olympicsnell 300]

No idea what to make of any of that to be honest? Dunno how much of that danish and italian rides was pacing issues, i'd be concerned about denmark going  off at that pace and getting in our slipstream....but they also died horribly, mixed bag

GB were at a disadvantage there as they had to set a time for the others to chase. All they needed to do was get into the top 4 and I think when it comes to the head-to-head, they will be confident of their ability to go a bit faster.
