With regards to the Dani King debate, I think if the gulf in class is going to be a feature of future events, they might need to rethink the rules around lapped riders.
There was a good race developing in the women's final, and watching a group of two get caught by an Olympic athlete just wasn't as fun as watching the bigger pack.
I didn't really like Dani King's showboating having just cut short a race that a lot of ordinary people had been working hard and getting really excited for. But lots of the crowd obviously loved it so I'm aware there are two sides.
