Tremendous performance there by Armstrong. At the grand old age of 38 she has proved that she is still the world's best time triallist.

Solid performance by Arndt in second but the real surprise was Zabelinskaya, who beat big names like Villumsen and Pooley to the bronze medal.

 

 

What an awesome athlete. She'd retired after winning in Beijing.

 

Love this quote:

 

"I was just a normal kid that never was told by their coach that they had anything special, that maybe I should go after something," Armstrong said. "It's just a determination and sacrifice I had all the way since elementary school."

I missed it, but Oscar Pistorius qualified for the 400m, apparently came second in his heat :clap:

 

Yeah, I recon there's another medal here and I hope its gold.

 

I have a great deal of admiration for Oscar, plus I believe he is the first double amputee to qualify in a track event at the games. Super stuff indeed.
