Any links for the pursuit from an Australian commentary. Up at the start still up in the middle then blow it at the end?

Wallride!

If you select the Cycling channel from Iplayer you get a stream from the velodrome. If you select the Olympics Live program from the live tv then you'll get the full commentary and that as they swap around the sports. If you're just watching the Cycling steam, you'll only get commentary when the Live program is on it as well.

Fantastic stuff. What a great Olympics. Shame about the crowds though

You misanthrope

I missed this. Cute story. Triple tie! I'm assuming that in the main photo they're all standing at the same level rather than Schooling being a step higher?

Holy shit, the dutch rider in the womens keirin just rode along the wall at the top of the track while shoulder to shoulder with the French rider!

And then held it together while the Frenchman went down, along with the NZ and another...

So, Anthony Ervin - don't know how I hadn't heard about this guy. Won a gold 16 years ago in the pool, and since then he:

quit swimming
sold his gold medal for tsunami relief
grew some dreadlocks
played lead guitar in a heavy metal band called Weapons of Mass Destruction
worked in a record shop
worked in a tattoo parlour
became an alcoholic
experimented with hallucinogens
smoked a shedload of dope
fractured his shoulder on a motorcycle trying to escape from the police
tried to kill himself with a tranquilliser overdose
studied Sufism
became a Buddhist
did an English degree at Berkeley

He's now just come back and won another gold. He's the oldest ever swimmer to win gold. He's half-black (first US Olympic swimmer of African American heritage), half-Jewish and has Tourette's. He is, by a country mile, the most interesting guy in the Olympics.

How did he do in London 2012?
35 is amazing given the age these guys usually retire.

Wiki sez 5th in Ldn

Wall of death!

The French rider drove her up there from the bottom of the track, the Spanish and NZ got taken out in the process. Surely the French rider should face some kind of penalty?

Err, Chris Froome, aka 'Froomedog'?

Dominant in the velodrome once again (so far)

mad skizl, ect..

No but really wow

According to Wikipedia she only switched to cycling from speed skating in 2015. I'd say she's picked up instinctive bike handling skills pretty swiftly.

Anyone else clocked the distinctive font of the Serbian basketball team?
