Not often lately but a regular occurrence in the early 20th century.

Where are the LADY WHEELS?

 

[Madison]

Doing this on just one race is silly.

 

[Ellie]

OMG, WTF happened?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh no!

 

[FetchFugly]

Well that didn't go to plan.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What the fuck happened?

 

[Indie]

poor Beth. She didn't deserve that.

[Madison]

Maybe show at least one replay?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Was it just a messy start? Because every other time she shot straight into the lead?

 

[Finn]

I dislike how there's no difference in height between the silver and bronze podiums

Pretty much, qnd she failed to recover in time.

I think even in previous ones she didn't take the front until after the first downhill bit. The first 20-30m she was often level.

This time, with a stronger group, she got crowded out. There's no way back from there.

Eventually her choice of gate has backfired.

 

[Madison]

Is Ian Thorpe having heart failure?

 

[Finn]

a VERY SWEATY Ian Thorpe in a three piece suit being weirdly defensive about the benefits of social media to Mark Foster?

I see Thorpey has a new face this year.

Denise Lewis really doesn’t ever age.

She still looks amazing, yes.
