Finnegan Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 How is it cheating? She basically just fell over tbh. It's hardly like Felix was complaining, it's well within the rules, it just doesn't really help. In most instances, if you tried to dive across the line, the person you were racing with would probably be better off.
Beliall Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Don't usually watch the Olympics, but saw the mens doubles Badminton, GBR V Japan and it was utterly mesmerising. what a match.

I know its within the rules technically but just seems a bit dodgy thats all. End of the day she gets the gold.
Finnegan Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 She stumbled, it's not like she did some full on superman dive.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 First one over the line wins it, stumbled and her momentum took her over, all fair.

What is the cycling event where they follow some dude around on a shitty moped for a few laps? that always looks hysterical, think that one's called the Keirin and we have Jason Kenny going for gold in that later tonight.

Nope, she was running so fast she fell over, we've all done it just so happened she did it on the finishing line of an Olympic final
Jattdogg Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 I think she purposely fell over knowing she'd cross the line first if she did it. But we will never truly know. Just thought it was a bit cheeky. Shes the gold medalist and that's all that matters i suppose.

How good has this been though? Seeing us fight it out with a country as big as China for second place is something incredible, has to be our greatest ever Olympic performance.

StanSP Posted 16 August 2016 Author Posted 16 August 2016 Just watched the 400m Miller 'dive'. Think she goes to get her nose in front and then buckles at the momentum. Don't see how it's cheating though
Jimothy Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Another gold in the sailing to add to Giles Scott's from earlier.
EastAnglianFox Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Just like his Mrs, Jason Kenny is on another planet to the other cyclists.
StanSP Posted 16 August 2016 Author Posted 16 August 2016 More medals in the track cycling. Laura Trott, Katy Marchant & Becky James winning gold, silver and bronze respectively. Every member of the Team GB track cycling have won a medal at this Olympics. Incredible.
Jimothy Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Kenny got lucky there. Keirin being restarted after him and Malaysian overlapped the electric bike.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Restart again... twitchy stuff, could be the German rider gone
foxes_rule1978 Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Here we go again, everyone still in... blaming the guy on the silly bike
