Left Back Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Archibald takes another sprint. Now of the front with France. Surely if they lap the field it's all over bar the shouting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) This is phenomenal stuff from the two British lassies. Dishing out a lesson. ETA they can afford to be lapped now and still be in a clear lead. Just need to stay out of trouble.

Belgians tried it there too. Fell over and wiped out the Aussies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The commentators appear to have missed the fact that 3 teams, including GB, lapped the field a few laps ago... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 That's just a brilliant performance in the Madison by Kenny and Archibald - they won 10 out of 12 sprints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Even Laura Kenny looks shocked by how good that was. That must be up there with the most dominant performances in any Olympic event ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Incredible effort by the GB ladies, winning 10 out of 12 sprints and gaining a lap on almost everybody else. Take a bow Katie Archibald and Laura Kenny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 All you'll hear about now is Kenny, but Archibald is clearly the dominant cyclist in the women's squad these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, she did the majority of the work. Not quite as photogenic as Laura Kenny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmudgePop Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Olympics are more than a story of some amazing winners for me. The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just now, DeeTillEhDeh said: That looked a bit naught by Jack Carlin - forced the Russian up the track. Wasn't in the sprinters lane so just being clever it seems. Watching the Madison this morning and there isn't a more mental sport here. Total carnage at all times. Katie Archibald is an incredible athlete. Definitely the most dominant in the women's squad now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's debatable, there's a grey area, hence the need for officials to analyse these things, and this one could have gone either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
