  1. That was one of the best moves I've seen in a keirin final, absolutely brilliant
  2. But the Ukrainian was still entirely behind her, which means it was still allowed at that moment.
  3. Lee sprinting to the last ever medal for Hong Kong?
  4. Yes, because they're not in the Tokyo prefecture and the rules here are a little different than in Tokyo. Same with for example the mountainbike races which had quite a good amount of people.
  5. Yep, this is the kind of endurance event they should leave in the omnium
  6. And that's Kenny out early in the elimination race.
  7. Whereas it used to define (at least better than now) who the best overall racer is. Both in events where it's purely about one's own quality as well as in events where tactics play a big role. It shouldn't be completely one or completely the other, but a mix of all things track cycling has to offer (individually).
  8. Braspennincx beat Starikova. Starikova easily beat Lee. Lee easily beat Hinze. Hinze easily beat Braspennincx (yesterday).
  9. I've grown to see it as a sort of Formula 1-like format: the first three events are the qualifying. They obviously count, but don't nearly decide anything major (unless you finish last all the time), and mostly give some slight advantages for the actual race.
  10. And Sahrom, who caused that crash yesterday, was already out. Karma is having a field day
  11. That might be more a matter of a lack of quality... Madison, together with individual sprint, really are the classic track events, they should always be in the program.
  12. Now come on Paul, Awang, Wakimoto, all guys I want to see in the final. And an Olympic keirin final in Tokyo needs a Japanese rider!
  13. But then it's still a nonsense event with only endurance and nothing else. Omnium really, really needs at least something short in it. Flying lap, 500m time trial, whatever, it's bullshit to have it as an endurance-only event, takes the whole reason to have an omnium in the first place out of it.
  14. I've seen others do that as well (though less often). I can't imagine those suits are anywhere near comfortable to wear, so I can understand making it less tight as soon as it's not necessary anymore
  15. Paul through Both Suriname riders Tjon and Fa through
  16. Those randomly exploding tires at any given moment I'll stick with going to the way more quiet swimming, ski jumping, biathlon and such thank you very much
  17. There was a perfect reason to neutralize the race though, and with that, the race had to be restarted or else there'd be no result.
