    Is the derny coming off too late. Should he not be off at that line?

    Well seeing as this is Rio they need to consider the gun shot was a random Rio Shooting and not a rule breach.

    Bloody hell! My heart rate went through the roof on that last one (and that's just sitting on the sofa watching). Well done to Kenny, cool as a cucumber!

    Great composed & powerful ride by Kenny there. Wouldn't expect there to be too many shrinking violets focus on riding that event.

    10 events on the track, equaled 30 medals up for grabs.

    Team GB won 11 of them, medaling in every event barr one, with every member of the team collecting at least one.

    Wow!

    The one they did not medal in was the one they did not qualify for - the Women's Team Sprint

    After failing to qualify they were able to ditch Jess Varnish who was disruptive within the squad and maybe even holding back the likes of Katy Marchant. Without Varnish, and indeed without having to spend any time practising standing starts, the Women sprinters have really flourished

    Don't know of you can say that, you don't know how disruptive or not she may or may not have been, an awful lot of riders came out and supported her.

    Not sure about the lack of standing starts being the key to success. Didn't hurt Vogel or Kenny in their sprints...
    Practising standing starts helps my power no end, and I'm far from a pro. I can't imagine it would rob the pros of any!

    ETA even though they were dq's, Varnish and Pendleton went fastest in London and GB got gold on the match sprints there so she didn't disrupt that much when she was in the squad then!
