theone Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Azizulhasni Awang is only 20 years old. 12 years younger than Chris Hoy. He's definitely the one to watch in the coming years. He's good for the next 3 Olympics at least Edited August 16, 2008 by theone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 An amazing night on the track capping of an astounding day for British sport. Well done Britain. The Olympic Ashes are sure getting interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 It's a brilliant day for Britain in the cycling events - a little frustrated though about the sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Wow, what a fantastic few hours!! It's not often as a Brit you forget which medal ceremony you're watching, but that happened to me this afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethnalGreen Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I knew the British cycling team were in amazing form from the World Champs in Manchester, but this is just crazy...they're on fire. Apparently there were whispers with the other cycling countries in Manchester that we had 'peaked' too soon. I guess they didn't reckon on the GB team having a body suit that is the equivalent of the new one in swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) The British Cycling team is absolutely phenomenal. Amazing to watch. I suspect if the success continues on the track, combined with Rowing/Sailing/Canoeing/Equestrian/BMX & Track & Field still to come, Great Britain could come third overall in the Medal Table, which would surprise many.

Stu Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton remain on course for Olympic success after making a great start to their two sprint campaigns. Hoy, cycling for his third gold, and his fellow Briton Jason Kenny both went through to the second round with ease. Pendleton also set a new Olympic record as she topped the women's standings.

theone Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) I'm proud of the Malaysian track team. We were once nowhere on the cycling map. Suddenly Josiah Ng entered the Athens keirin final. Then suddenly a few years after that, we were suddenly the best track team in Asia, winning multiple gold medals at the Asian Championships. Now in Beijing, we've made our mark at the world stage. Hopefully in London we'll be really fighting for gold medals. Azizulhasni Awang again, made his name known, by qualifying for quarterfinals in the men's sprint. Unfortunately he'll meet Chris Hoy tomorrow Edited August 17, 2008 by theone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainad Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Top European nation on the medal table overall after this amazing weekend and there is so much more still to come next week. The sky's the limit now. Seems a tad unreal to me somehow.I keep thinking I'm going to wake up any second and think...damn, it was just another bloody dream!! It's such a refreshing change at last to see British sportsmen and women finally going a long way to achieving their potential.Long may it continue (or don't bother waking me up)!!!
