question for british people : Why are officials saying Great Britain and not United Kindgom ? Isn't Great Britain supposed to be the island with England + Scotland + Wales without N. Ireland ?

That is an insane velodrome. Olympic record in first qualifier race and usually they have the fastest in the end!

Sidenote: First time they have this event at an Olympics :p
It's a fairly new event in general, this Team Sprint.

And with this fast Velodrome, expect a couple more WR's and OR's after today ^^

oh my word, nearly game over for GB there. Some guy fell due to "steering problem" though and mechanical restart.

Its a huge shame for Jason Kenny (from my home town) because he would be in any other nations team but he faced Hoy three times this year and lost twice. Lets hope the sprint team gets him one gold.

Russia beat chinese OR in second race. Third race was a bust with the 2 worst times. Fourth has France beat the new russian olympic record. Australia also beating Russia. In the final heat we see Great Britain with a crash and restart followed by a new OR by GBR and a fifth from Germany (fifth is just before China and thus better than the previous OR too!).
Repeat before me

There should be a minimum age for athlets. Look at these 12yo kids. I remember the chinese girls in Beijing, which were probably under 10.

well, while unexpected maybe, 2 of 10 gold medals so far today is not that insane considering China took 1 too. When swimming comes it can get better!

Yep and with the rule changes we can only put him or Hoy into individual events instead of both

Yeah thats what I mean, Hoy got the nod. Which is fair enough but still a shame.

At least in gymnastics there is a 16yo limit. After Beijing some people suspected one chinese girl to be only 14yo, but the international gymnastics federation (or however it is called) came to the conclusion, that she was 16 and therefore allowed to participate.
