The story of the olympics for the Netherlands. Net niet.

 

[Steelrain]

Have you seen elimination cycling yet? It's awesome..

Not yet. When can I see this?

 

[PaulLFC]

Showjumping Gold for Team GB!

I think the outcome of tonight's match is irrelevant, both you and us are going through no matter what.

Don't blame the horse. Guy was too fat. Eat his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

 

[elty]

Jump off in the equestrian.

So GB won that one, nice for them. (I guess penalty = add 4 seconds to result?)

 

[mrklaw]

normally, but in the jump-off its just how many faults in your 3 best out of 4 jumps. We did three clear rounds, NL had only one, so they didn't even do their final round as it didn't matter even if it was clear

 

[CrunchinJelly]

THEY'LL BE ON A STAMP IN THE MORNING!

 

[Fry]

Dude is from my University!

Congrats to him!

 

[killer_clank]

we both qualify either way. but yes.

 

[numble]

Not yet. When can I see this?

About an hour and 20 minutes.

 

[Wes]

That was superb to watch!

GB GB GB

 

[zchen]

Ma Long has been unleashed on the Germans.

So why does it get into the jump off situation>?

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Hurrah!

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I see a horse just won a gold medal whilst carrying a lazy British man on it's back. Good job horse.

 

[Steelrain]

About an hour and 20 minutes.

Sweet! Thanks!

 

[StealthGoblin]

Outside of the cycling tonight, does Britain have a strong chance of a gold in anything else?

Our discus guy looked good the last time I checked. Is that over?

 

[krYlon]

I see a horse just won a gold medal whilst carrying a lazy British man on it's back. Good job horse.

So how many medals have we won now sitting down?

Sitting down is the best.

 

[elty]

So what else exciting today? Cycling sprint final, table tennis semi, Japan vs France.

 

[Koodo]

Trolling tactics to get in each other's slipstream.

If you go fast early, the person behind you can get in your slipstream and use 30% less energy. If you're in front, you don't know if the person is going to come up from your left or right, and when they start accelerating. If you're in back, you need more energy at end to win, though. It's a huge chess match.

Make sure you watch the elimination cycling later. Basically a huge pack that sprint every couple of laps because the last one to cross the line gets eliminated.

LMAO, why was I unaware of this amazing sport. Let me seat myself and watch.

 

[luso]

Not sure if posted, Fehaid AL DEEHANI repeating his feat of Sydney 2000, bronze in Men's trap. And second ever medal for Kuwait.

 

[Pennywise]

Ah I see, we're first. It's going to be a good match either way.

Damn thoose athlete photos are gold !

So much weird expressions.

 

[Kurtofan]

ALLEZ LES BLEUES!

Would the horse have done it without the guy on his back? He's like a navigation system and a maid for horse.

Is the horse British?

 

[D4Danger]

23 (12 Gold) sitting down medals

Same number of faults in the main events.

Time doesn't actually factor in *other than* that you get awarded faults for going past a set time target. Going faster than necessary doesn't actually give you any benefit.

Ahhh, I always though t it is time + penalty to determine the result.

Clare Balding filling like a champion, here.


Anyway: Finally got through sorting through my pictures from yesterday. Here's the flickr photostream:

[Miles X]

Wooooo, I thought today was gonna be a bit damp for us but GOLD!

 

[danwarb]

74 laps to go. This is going to take a while.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Points race in the Omnium.

I DON'T GET THIS ONE

 

[Kinky John]

It'd be cool if the horses got a medal.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I don't know. You should ask the horse.

 

[navanman]

What a match point from Ma Long. Unreal defense

 

[mclem]

Points race in the Omnium.

I DON'T GET THIS ONE

Points are awarded for placing in the sprints every 10 laps, usually 5, 3, 2 and 1. Also, at any time you can break away and try to do a lap of the track and catch up with the pack; if you manage to do that, you get 20 points. Most points win.

23 (12 Gold) sitting down medals

Not bad!

 

[Shadow780]

Go Japan, I would like a WC rematch.
