hopefully her prostate acts up tonight.FUCKIN Charlie Haughey's grand-niece is swimming for Hong Kong and just got into a final. HOPE SHE LOSES
a family friend was considered a medal hope in the triathlon in london; but she got boxed in on the swim and when the race reached the bikes, they were sliding out all over the place, apparently the course was really slippy after rain the night before. Aileen came off at least once, and found herself further back down the field than she was used to/happy with, and was trying to work with some of the other competitors to chase the leading group (elite triathlons are draft legal), but they looked at her as if she had two heads, so she had to break out on her own to try to make up lost time.Women's cycling is far cagier than men's. It's rare enough to see a break go and get that established. Even stage races tend to be more attritional. So when that break went yesterday, given how small the teams were, I couldn't see them getting organised enough to reel them back in. Even moreso because no one would be willing to help out the Dutch (who would have probably taken 2 or 3 medals if the bunch arrived at the line together).
if the implication is that they're juicing, yes, yes, of course they are, but then so are those they've beaten.Winner of the womens road race and the womens triathalon were both people who train on their own outside of team structure.

what happened here? media has been removed.

apparently there is almost zero drugs testing at these olympics because all the testing resources have been given to covid testing.
My temporary national hero is through to the semi's but i'm going to sleep instead of watching it
its not exactly the same thing but both Lizzie Deignan and Nicole Cooke, who won Olympic silver and bronze medals in recent enough Olympics (Cooke in Beijing, Deignan maybe in London), were outside of the British Cycling programme.No, moreso that it's a personal responsibility to actually win and in both those races, you could see it on the athelete, they were winning from start to finish, not waiting for some lucky pounce or war of attrition.
last I heard she'd moved to Switzerland and was into mountain running in a big way. Seems to have gone pretty much off the grid other than the odd tweet here and there.what's emma pooley up these days? i didn't know much about her cycling career, but she was a good presenter when she was on GCN. i think the stated reason for her leaving was to her to return to education?

Re: Cooke, Pooley and Deignan. it says it all the three best British road riders of last few decades owed nothing to the Brailsford / Shane Sutton mafia.what's emma pooley up these days? i didn't know much about her cycling career, but she was a good presenter when she was on GCN. i think the stated reason for her leaving was to her to return to education?
