Stu Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I agree. I don't want people to get carried away! I am so looking forward to this weekend though! I'm nervous of thinking about this weekend and not just the cycling, I have nerves about sailing, swimming and rowing too. Although I can't wait until it all starts tomorrow at 3am!

Although I can't wait until it all starts tomorrow at 3am! I know what you mean. However, I don't think I am going to get up in the middle of the night to watc athletics and swimming! I'll watch the rerun in the morning. I'll get up at 6 and will probably not move until late on in the afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theone Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) The Keirin has started. Great job from Malaysia's flag bearer, Azizulhasni Awang! He won the 2nd heat defeating 5 others, including Shane Kelly to proceed to the next round. 4 heats altogether. Top two from each heat qualify automatically. Others have to fight it out in the repechage to see who will qualify next. Malaysia's other cyclist, Josiah Ng is 3rd in the 3rd heats and goes into the repechage to see if he can go to the next round.

theone Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Great news for Malaysia! Josiah Ng has been promoted to 2nd place in Heat 3 since Roberto Chiappa of Italy has been relegated. 2 Malaysians in top 8! Malaysia Boleh!

Stu Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 It's going to be an all-British women's final in the individual pursuit. Was the British track team this powerful in Athens? Not as powerful in 2004 as they are in 2008. Britain finished third behind Australia and Russia in the Cycling medals table in Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
