There's a hoop or two to jump through but worth it. You can get if off the www.nbcolympics.com (http://www.nbcolympics.com/liveextra/video-watch.html?video=m-w-team-sprint-pursuit&cid=Alert_Live) if you go through the search function.

Men's just started. Team Sprint is bad ass.


Sir Chris Hoy coming up soon.

There goes all hope of getting any work done.

surprised at the number of tech errors committed by these teams...

i was surprised that the U.S. men didn't qualify for team sprint. Really pulling for Watkins as i think he's an underdog.

team gb aero fork = interesting:

can someone explain the illegal exchange in team sprint?

can someone explain the illegal exchange in team sprint?

Rules here (http://inrng.tumblr.com/post/28566195753/sprint-rule) - in short, the exchange must happen in a very narrow part of the track. Too early = Relegation, Too late = Relegation.

madison, ok. pursuit, ok. after that... i get a bored with track.

Keirin looks pretty interesting, and besides, anything beats running amongst cow dung

Is that marked somewhere? The BBC text stream made it seem like you just couldn't swap before the end of the lap. 30 meters is a pretty decent window, and I'm not seeing how a foul was called in at least one of the cases. They kept replaying the "finish" line crossing.

There are lines on the track that mark the exchange zone, but at local events I've seen cones used. I don't know why it's even a rule. I don't think guys should even be required to exchange.

so, a short team pursuit?

so, a short team pursuit?

no, a team sprint.

...and I still don't understand what China did wrong, either, can't really tell from the video.

Is anyone surprised that Paul Sherwen did absolutely nothing to explain the details?

I'd be surprised if he understood them himself.

USA Women's team pursuit on in 3 minutes. Go Sarah!

4k... standing start... avg speed over 38 mph. Oh. My. God.

Seriously... how often in races do any of us even touch 38 briefly (flat ground of course)?

I've done plenty of p123 races, just lined out single file hauling ass, and never even saw 38 mph max.

Chapeau.
