lechatnoir Posted August 6, 2021 Share Charlene du Preez 0.4 off what looks like the fastest qualifying time in the women's sprints. She looks good to get through to the next round Sydd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as long as they do issue him with a golden helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted August 12, 2021 Share I reckon it would be awesome if someone won the Olympics, was heaps proud and humble about it and then DIDN'T go around dressed in gold for the next 4 years. The gold is brash and IMHO it would be way more awesome if the Olympic champ just wore normal clothes and rode a normal bike but the commentators would still say 'there goes blinkybloggs, the Olympic champ'.... amac, ChrisF, Scary Rider and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or otherwise had 1 year to wear a different jersey, and then afterwards just had a gold band on their jersey like the previous world/national champs. I also think it's pretty ridiculous that for 4 years (or 3 in this case) someone gets to rock out in gold Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
