London UCI Track World Cup 2012

What's this business about twitter? A steady stream of mindless inanities appearing on the big screens between heats and the commentator telling us about the tweets that he'd seen. I suppose it's a step on (technologically if in no other way) from a banner saying "Hi Mum!".

The GB men's team were superb, but having knocked 8 seconds off the previous best, it then made the last five teams look lacklustre when in fact they were stormingly good. Interesting that the women were much closer to WR times than the men. Anyone any idea why this might have been the case? Was there something special about the 3.53 occasion?

+1 to the twitter inanities. Does not add to the occasion.

After the Canadian women, I thought we'd be up for getting close to WR times too. Maybe more to come in the finals...
