Really curious to see how well Mitchell can do here. She came sort of out of nowhere to get the 500m time trial world record but, as far as I know, she doesn't have a ton of experience.

Add another to the repechage. This Dutch person with a Belgian name.

Didn't check it, but did she get that in those Cochabamba championships, by any chance?

Sure sounds like those BBC pundits got really used to Britain's decade of dominance in track cycling and assumed it must be the state of the world for ever.

She sure did.

Discovery in Denmark changing between Brian Holm and Trine Schmidt as co-commentator is so damn weird. They're on for their own gender.
