awesme Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Don't think Frenchie was physically the strongest, but tactically she outsmarted the lot, kick into the next gear at the perfect time. And the german's fall was perfect timed for her also. G What a ride by Bresset - set the pace from the outset.

G I will have to agree to disagree, you don't win these things by not being physically the strongest on the day.She rode away from them and just kept on increasing her gap.
Wyatt Earp Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Some experience gained and then hit it hard in 4 years time I doubt it.We have a few problems preventing us from this. Proper coaching and funding.The need and the understanding from our sports minister to the importance of The Olympics and the status in medals.The hunger from our athletes, they need to realize that this is not a free ride but the pinnacle of the sport.We are not physically challenged just because we live in S.A.Our athletes need to step up to the plate, many of our sporting disciplines can and will benefit from Olympic programs.

Governing body has to catch a wake up and realise the "lesser" sports need as much attention. Every single medal has come from sports with little funding from the government.. I hope burry does well and makes them stand up and notice

kosmonooit Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Well deserved win! and it wasn't like other favs had bad luck (besides Gunn-rita Dahle) From cyclenews.com "Julie Bresset secured France's first cycling gold medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games with a dominant performance in the women's mountain bike race on Saturday. The 23-year-old matched the early pace setting from Annie Last (Great Britain) before taking command of the race after the first lap. Both Sabine Spitz (Germany) and Georgia Gould (United States) tried to match the French woman's pace but were unable to contend with the younger rider's strength. "I'm very happy. It's amazing to win today," Bresset said at the finish. "I hoped to win a medal and a gold medal is unbelievable. I started well, I took the front of the race and I managed it well. When I had a gap I told myself: 'Now, I should go.' I led until the finish and I'm very content." Bresset rode an aggressive but measured race throughout, allowing both Last and Spitz to set the pace during the early laps. However, in the second half she took control and although she managed to drop her opposition, she remained focused and conscious that the demanding course could cost her in the finale. "I managed well the technical passages of the course, I gained seconds and I didn't tire myself too much, fearing that I could pay the price later for leading all the time. I managed well my energies. I was really concentrated from the beginning to the end, I knew where to drink and where to refuel, I didn't make mistakes." "I didn't think I could win today. I didn't expect a podium. There were three favourites: Last, Pendrel who dominated this year's World Cup, and even Spitz. It's been a surprise for me." Like a number of her rivals, the BH - SR Suntour - Peisey Vallandry rider selected the Games as her main target of the season, using the World Cup rounds as mere preparation and points scoring on the way to London"

TNT1 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) btw are you ripping from dstv pvr decoder, how do you do it? hack the firmware. Edit: I don't have a pvr, but from what I know of them, I'd take the firmware off, find the code that blocks this, edit it, and reload my custom firmware to the device. Of course, there may be a simpler method, but I'd need a device to play with. Edited August 11, 2012 by TNT1
