Track Cycling at the 2024 Olympics

lmao italy... jeez

 

[Didinho]

Italy needs a classic Viviani sprint now.

 

[Didinho]

Portugal gold.

Chiara > Simone. Or is Bronze + silver = gold? 😁

 

[Brullnux]

I think the crash killed Italy, but a brilliant performance nonetheless.

Well deserved win for Portugal, very very chaotic race.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I hope Casper Jørgensen made the right decision not to pick Norman, but Niklas Larsen hasn't looked great in the final parts of the Omnium and Madison. Getting a bronze here is not bad though, but they were lucky with some of the weird events towards the end.

 

[Didinho]

Lefevre better get Iúri Leitão. Got the wrong track rider next year.

 

[Ricco']

I spent my childhood watching track competitions on Eurosport without Portugal ever setting a pedal on any of the events, and now Olympic Champions!

Iuri Leitão deserves a place in the WT asap. First olympic gold outside Athletics for Portugal

 

[Brullnux]

Leitão was amazing, great to see him get gold too after the omnium!

 

[carolina]

This was amazing!

 

[Netserk]

Mørkøv saving Denmark's ass in the Olympics again. Everyone must be grateful for his selection.

 

[KZD]

This is one of the best comeback's that I have watched in track cycling, amazing win for Portugal!

Good race from Italy and Denmark too, they were in contention for gold until the last sprint.

 

[Brullnux]

Viviani in tears at the end, I assume out of joy for the silver, given his general issues with form? Would be very harsh on himself if it's for the error that led to the fall

 

[Ricco']

It looked like it were tears of frustration and not joy.

Leitão said on national tv that he was feeling his legs empty during the race.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Great win for Portugal.
Without that crash we could have had double Consonni gold, but whatever.

According to his wife they were, but it's a great result for him.
I'm putting it out there, Consonni-Milan as the Madison duo for the next Olympics?

 

[RedheadDane]

Great win for Portugal.

Chiara gets the bragging right in the family.

So... Denmark doesn't completely suck at cycling...

 

[awavey]

no dq for dutch? wtf?

That looked very deliberate to me, you don't overtake someone in the madison and accidentally headbut them

Shame he feels like that, because it really is a wonderful result. The crash did definitely take away the chance for the gold, but to be in that position anyway was remarkable.

Broke: Consonni-Scartezzini
Woke: Consonni-Milan
Bespoke: Milan-Ganna

He cries everytime he finishes a race ffs.

 

[Danskebjerge]

It seemed Mørkøv was the strongest rider in that race.

 

[awavey]

Dutch have been DSQ'd from the Madison and fined 1000CHF for improper conduct (blow with the helmet).

cant believe it took that long to do it for such an obvious foul, or that TeamGB didnt raise it during the race.

 

[Didinho]

Did Paternoster just fell?? 🥺 was looking forward for her to get a medal here. Hope it doesn’t affect her.

And let's hope we avoid a big crash like we had in the women's Omnium in Tokyo.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Great start for Valente and what looked like a very happy Coles-Lyster. Kopecky was surprisingly far back, and Evans sadly crashed.

Kopecky trained a lot on the Scratch because it doesn't suit her, never had a good result but now she was boxed in the last 5 laps. The slower speed wasn't good for her. But good for the race, she'll have an attacking mindset.

Letizia 10th. Didn't looked like her best self in the last laps. Hope she can get closer untill the points race.
