Shebeen Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 according to the results, none of the three kenyan ladies made it to the end of the first lap. #weird
NotSoBigBen Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 according to the results, none of the three kenyan ladies made it to the end of the first lap. #weird Saw 1 fall about half way through the first lap and stop on the side ....
NotSoBigBen Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Don't want to be too cynical but I guess we await the standard coach comments 'building on this' 'not feeling great at the start' 'onward and upward' ......

Will be disappointed no doubt, but that's sport(or deep fried marsbars).
kingalton Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I saw the one Kenyan lady, she was riding in tekkies and plastic flat pedals, when I say riding, she was walking the downhill sections... Edited July 29, 2014 by kingalton

Don't get me wrong I have a healthy respect for the ladies riding at this level as I said the cynic in me just sniggers at the coaches comments
jcza Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Can someone please be kind enough to explain to me why our athletes always seem to start so badly?
Jaco-fiets Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) The common wealth games seems to be another comp for the nations that gets their asses handed to them at the olympics. Just an observation.... Edited July 29, 2014 by Jaco-fiets
Shebeen Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Can someone please be kind enough to explain to me why our athletes always seem to start so badly?maybe because we don't stop at red robots, track stands are never properly mastered. but seriously let's hope phil has learnt from his olympic nightmare start!
