I think we all just want to see the best athletes win, nothing against Germany. | ||

Very envious of the people in the Velodrome. ;_; Yeh I regret not trying to get a ticket now... But I only really discovered my love for cycling after they were sold  . | ||

I will let someone else work that one out. Edit: I know all the golds are English apart from Hoy. A welsh lad in the team pursuit too (who will surely win gold). | ||

Especially in team running / swimming. I've seen so many switching mistakes in those disciplines as well. It's obviously sad for the chinese (and GB) team but they risked it and lost it. That's it. They actually have a finish photo that we don't see in TV too. So um. | ||

They showed it on the BBC and the commentators thought the choice was very weird to relegate them. To me at least they seemed to be crossing at the same time. Talking about the chinese relegation. | ||
