Wait what, women's madison is already Olympic? Oh boy, I can't wait for the news that women's Nordic combined will have a team event at the next possible Winter Olympics. That should be even better!

Five teams who are two laps down, Japan already managed to get a third lap down

Oh well, I guess you have to start somewhere....as long as it doesn't end up being the horror show it was last year

Three minutes in and no falls and 10 times lapped couples yet?

Breaking a 29 year old national record in style, 7.89 becomes 7.83

Some extra support being placed under the podium for Ligtlee, which caused the slight delay.

Sorry for the late reply, because I don't follow all the news around this, but apparently in December the new Dutch coach (Bill Huck) was rather clear about Ligtlee: "She is too heavy and she knows it. She's overweight and she'll have to change that, because with this weight she won't be able to deliver world class performances." So I guess all that is the reason for her not being that good anymore nowadays (logically if you saw her today, like she ate a 10-person lasagna dinner for breakfast).

Ligtlee looks like she has spent the entire winter eating non-stop, dear lord. I wouldn't be surprised if she entered the velodrome through the emergency exits. Now I get why she didn't qualify for the sprint and keirin.

Since 2010

And had a positive test after his last fight of 2017, and this week lost his world title because he was way, way, way too heavy for his title fight. Destroyed the Japanese former world champion (logically, when you're much heavier), but could not win his title because of the weigth problem. Amateur

Van Vleuten 9 seconds behind Dygert, well goodbye medals...oooooh wait, 2nd place

Chloe Dygert is not normal 3:20.072 in the individual pursuit qualifying and she absolutely, completely destroyed Sarah Hammer's 2010 world record by more than two seconds

The fuck did Benoot eat today?

Bardet, Van Aert en Benoot seem to be the riders who are going to decide the honours.

Cycling (Strade Bianche), ski cross, already watched alpine skiing x2, cross-country, Nordic combined and biathlon are on the list, track cycling and indoor athletics world champs, Formula E, Glory kickboxing (including the next fight of professional criminal Badr Hari), V8 Supercars in the morning....this day is crazy, 3 times more full than the average Winter Olympic day

All these mud-covered faces and clothes and bikes I can't wait to finally have a real 'Hell of the North' again (Paris - Roubaix in rain and mud)

Gold for Kyrgyzstan is cool by the way

Sure this is correct? Both because Ukraine, France and Czech Republic don't strike me as Asian and because these four have an average age of 29,5 years

This photo also proves El Aida and Collins were cheating, whereas Coleman did not break the race walking rules.

I became a fan when she entered the international stage with her beautiful long hair (followed by awesome results) Now I wouldn't even recognize her anymore

What on earth did Rojas do to her hair?

Another one with visa problems? Come on...at least he got here, but this really is something IAAF has to look into, because this ain't good.

Still not sure if this is World Tour race Strade Bianche, or the South Eritrean youth championships.

Oh come on. We get live images from inside tunnels nowadays, but a bit of rain and RAI can't give us anything anymore, just pictures of the finish?

Dovile Dzindzaletaitė still not close to her PB. Maybe it's time to let Richard Kilty go because that ain't working
