He's such a strong runner so that puts him in a good position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDaze Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yee and Brownlee both in that big pack with 10k left on the bike… (the track looks so tight and with so many sharp turns it looks like it could be all about the run) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalopsia Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 This is going to be a very fun last 2 laps, hoping Yee can push on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the start of it last night & just googled the results. Can't believe they race for an hour & 45 mins yet there was only 50 odd seconds between first & eighth. Must be gutting to simultaneously be that close & that far away from a medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punksnotdead Posted July 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Oh God. Bring on the dancing horses. Dressage is on, time for me to turn off the TV! #Not a Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Any other skating fans in the house? I’ve been catching up on the Men’s Street heats. Most are tuning in for Nyjah Huston but Aurelian Giraud is insane; he just goes big all the time. Vincent Milou has also been super impressive. The French boys have been smashing it*. * I haven’t watched the final yet so no spoilers, please 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I’ll watch the football instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
