Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 1, 2019 #1521 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) These gate operators at Track Cycling obviously haven’t been trained enough, or the gates haven’t been handled/manufactured well. So far we’re 0-2 in men’s team sprint starts. It was problem this morning in the women’s team pursuit too.

The other three...not so much. thiago_simoes 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Well it’s the most exciting sport with the longest wait time. Track Cycling always has a long setup time. It is honestly probably my favorite summer sport (though Inline, Climbing, Canoe come close) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 1, 2019 #1527 Share Posted August 1, 2019 This isn’t good...riders are pissed and they have every right to be. Mexico should definitely be allowed a restart. There was something very wrong with that start. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
