    Nice pic, I really do like the new national kit.

    Becky draws Guo Shuang in the semis. I suspect that was the best draw but all 4 seem very well matched. It's going to be a nerve wracking one for Blazing no doubt!

    The scratch is looking vicious.

    I'm already feeling sick and I've managed to miss both those heats, live. :oops:
    Guo certainly would be my pick.
    She was significantly slower in both the TS and in qualifying.
    Vogel is fast and smart and Lee has been a constant horn in Becky's side, this year.
    However, Becky turned her inside out in the Glasgow world cup.

    Not sure that having the semi's in the morning before live tele is a good or a bad thing for my nerves.

    Chris Boardman called that just right. No luck involved great skill and tactics - and a great turn of speed with 2 to go!

    Anyone know why they don't show this on BBC3 or 4? Seems strange to have spare channels there before 7pm and stick this on the red button.

    Gold for Kenny, looked like he couldn't believe that there was no one on his shoulder at the end there.

    Blimey, I must try and watching something live, not later.
    (Was watching Wales U20 v Italy in a mud bath)
    Great stuff! (the cycling, not the rugby.)

    I know they're on different channel numbers, but I'm sure I've read before that they share a channel with CBBC and CBeebies

    Great racing. Amazing seeing these athletes many minutes after the race still in serious oxygen debt. Serious engines.

    Pity that we all missed FF's panache-bombing of the event with the likes of "stopped for lunch?" :)

    No red button or BBC2 coverage until 5.15 it seems reading the football scores and Flog It are more important. So much for that Olympic legacy :evil:

    Becky had that one quite easily. Blazing's probably lost his lunch.

    Yep. Hopefully she'll get a lead out in the decider as she seems to have plenty of speed to get passed.
