Just back in the door now. Pretty wrecked after just spectacting in there!
Great to see Chris Hoy up close in action on the track, the guy is a true athlete and gentleman, seeing him offer his respect up to Tommy Godwin who was presenting him with the Sprint medal was inspiring. His faceoff against Gregory Bauge was probably the best race of the day, going to the third game decider. Thought Bauge was on a one year ban for blood doping though? Jason Kenny afaik is competing with Hoy for the Olympic spot but seeing the two of them compete today there really still is only one choice...
I reckon Pendleton will have been disappointed with today in the Keirin, she didnt seem to have much acceleration, esp. compared to Guo Shuang (or is that Shuang Guo?) who just appeared calm and collected every time she flicked on the turbo boost switch in her legs. Fair enough though, she did win gold on the Friday night. The two younger female team members Varnish and Trott did alright, Trott was pretty impressive on the 500m time trial - part of that might have been the crowd roaring her along the straights like an audio mexican wave. I imagine both of them will be ones to watch in the future.
