Shame about that disqualification, but I feel like there's many more to come...
Like the men's who just smashed another wr!
Surprised at how poorly Auzzies and Russia are doing...I expect Gold in the 'drome today!

Well... the government doesn't invest in sports so the rich sports (that need infrastructure) is almost reserved to less than 10% of the population.
Eg. I like tennis but I have to pay a lot to reserve a court 1-2 hours per week... there are no public (free) tennis court here.
That's why football (soccer) is so popular here... because it's cheap to play... you play in anywhere (streets) with any kind of ball (even paper)... there are a lot of public football field free for all.
Another exemple... the Cielo (swimmer) don't train in Brazil... he lives and trains in the US due the poor infrastructure here.
We need greater incentives for sports other than football.
Looking at the time China just set in the Womens Sprint Britain would almost certainly have got the gold there if it weren't for the DQ :(
Well, looks like we're still gonna dominate in the velodrome, even with the disqualification...at least a silver guaranteed now!

Just an agreement we came to not to include "stationary" sports.
From those replays it doesn't look like the chinese women broke the rules.
kowenicki said: Farce... now China demoted and how can you win a medal if you break the rules? this is silly. |
You are relegated in the race that you broke the rules in. It's a two "horse" race so you can only fall one place down.
That's why GB finished 8th.
I know you already know this but just reiterating.
