    Dunno, looks like USA and Sweden are getting in there. Cooke trying to come up and disrupt


    Gap seems to be growing. But as Frenchie says, can you trust the timing?

    Dutch and British getting medals would be nice to see. They've been central to everything that's happened today.
    Don't forget the Russian was the one who started this successful break. I hope all three are rewarded.

    I think (sorry to keep stressing this, but who knows) that the gap's going out slightly. It's about 38 seconds.

    Boardman i think agrees with the gap going out and he is timing it.
