Wait, what, she's in 6th? I thought that she's out because she didn't turn up at the previous timing point. 

Aaaand she's out from 6th.

 

Spoiler

Into 4th

Vas up to 4th now

Okay, even if this isn't a medal, this might be the biggest positive  surprise of the Games if Vas can keep this up until the end.

That 2000 result you were talking about, what was that? And is this better?

Well, another big disappointment for us. ?

I really wanted at least a medal for Pauline Ferrand-Prevost, because she had been through SO much these last years ! 

 

Congrats to team Swiss!

It was a 5th place in track cycling (women's sprint).

One more lap - which is the lap they shortened the race with - and Vas would have taken bronze.

 

Ok, with one more lap of course the Swiss in front of her might have divided their powers a bit differently as well, so it's not as easy as that

Less than two years after her very bad crash which made people wonder if she'd ever touch a bike again, she was in bad condition. Awesome that she takes the gold now

Great race from Neff , and she gets to share the podium with her teammates as a bonus!

I was highly confident of this being no, easy choice for one of my 10 points....didn't think it was PFP causing it to be no  

 

72 - Both Pauline Ferrand Prevot and Sina Frei will be on the podium in women's race.
