London 2012 Megathread [Part 1]

Kerrydude1981

Come on Gavin!!! 11th after the cycle

racso1975

11th going into the run

The_Kew_Tour

Fair ****s to Noble!!! At least he is having a go.

I still think Top 15 would be unreal for him, but fair play to him for trying to make it happen rather then.

This triathalon is brilliant to watch

opinion guy

Apparently Noble had a fractured shin in May!!!!! :eek:

RTE ?

Patser

in 19th now about 1 min 10secs off leaders

Edit: I'm going by RTE, Mr Crinklewood probably a lot more reliable

Kerrydude1981

Brownlee has yet to take his 15 second penalty,this is going to be interesting to see when he takes it

Colmustard

The crowds are fantastic and London looks beautiful.

Thats a surprise !

Is it some kind of tactic ? Save some energythis lap - take his 15 seconds, then tear out the last la p?

I think he should of taken it when 28 sec ahead. seems to be losing that time now

Mr.Crinklewood

Do RTE not have access to the latest times?

Could be,Alistair pulling away from Gomez now,there trying to run Gomez into the ground

Kerrydude1981

Now its going to be interesting

opinion guy

Very interestign after the time penalty!

racso1975

Just served time penalty.

opinion guy

I reckon Gomez is fading - can Brownless get 1 & 2 ?


Anyone know how Noble is doing ?

Mr.Crinklewood

20th

1:41:34

racso1975

Noble 19th

Kerrydude1981

racso1975

Yup lookin 1&3 for brownlees

racso1975

I didn't like the walking across the line to be honest - felt like he was taking the piss out of Gomez

Richard Hillman

Unbelievable for a pair of brothers to win gold and bronze. Could have even been a 1-2 were it not for the penalty. I like the flag thing as well, it looked completely unplanned. The person that gave him the flag was delighted with herself.

racso1975

23rd for noble

Ya the RTE lads said he was aiming for a top 30 finish,looks like he was unlucky to not finish in the top 20,fair play to him maybe if he didnt pick up that injury earlier in the year he would have been pushing for a top 15 place on todays showing

Yer man Gomez was waving to the crowd when he was walking over the line. I think it happens a lot in Triathlon.
