Grassmarket 3,362 Posted August 8, 2021 #561 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Thing is, all those guys are sprinters, so none if them want to race more than 200m. If you can take it long, you’ve got a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicting worst performance since 06, but I thought we'd win only 12-15 medals here.. and they had the most successful games ever, so what do I know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought that? Canadian sprint cycling went from zero to amazing really quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was on him, by the time the rest was allowed to overtake the pacemaker, Kenny was already long gone.

heywoodu 14,901 Posted August 8, 2021 #568 Share Posted August 8, 2021 By the way, I must say I've grown rather fond of the background tunes during the medal ceremonies.

To be fair, at the previous world championships she already pushed Voynova to a decider in the semis, she had already performed very well at the highest level But yeah, definitely not the most expected winner here, to say the least.
