That THANK YOU was an hour ago when they beat GBR to qualify for the final

 

They were alright in qualifying, great in 1st round/quarter final and horrible (well, the start) in the final. Beating NZL would have been a near-impossible task, but now seeing NZL won gold in 44.0.....damn, they could definitely have beaten that if they had a normal start

Well, still big thumbs up for eliminating Hindes.

For some reason I was sure I saw him on the start list this morning... Later on I could watch only the start of men's qualification.

Duh, because he's eliminated of course

No Büchli (Olympic silver) at the keirin tomorrow, because the federation, including the coach, were certain that his silver earned the Netherlands enough points for a keirin spot at the world champs and they barely sent anyone to World Cups (Büchli mostly rides in Japan). Now Büchli is only allowed to start if three athletes withdraw 

 

Read the freaking rules

Canada

 

What's the point in two riders pushing forward when it's 3rd rider that counts?
