Pendleton was outside of the line but it was caused by Meares Thats very different from what i observed. I actually at first thought Meares initiated contact too but it only looked that way because i didn't realise contact was made at the bend. Pendleton did not "turn" enough and as such crossed the red line which resulted in the collision. It was the correct decision. | ||

If there wasn't contact before Pendleton crossed the line then I would agree. Agree to disagree | ||

 Shame, that. And a shame Pendleton couldn't pick up another. We were beginning to gain on the US. | ||

I know we got 5000m but what else? 25 golds if we get it will not be bad for home Olympics +6 from last time. | ||

Many boxers are still in it, two Welsh lads looking for Wales' first individual gold amongst others (maybe eight still in it). Shazne Reed is awesome on the BMX. Mo Farah yes, Individual dressage, Hockey and Sailing possibilities. Its not over yet!! Edit: Forgot Kerri-Anne Payne too and are we any good at Taekwondo? lol Modern Pentathlon? | ||

edit: The BBC are so bitter about the new medal restrictions haha. Personally I think that in the end it's made our team stronger because now we have more strong riders competing in less events each, even if it leads to less medals overall it leads to more reliable golds. | ||
