Not the first boxing result I'd have questioned. One thing that baffles is, have the rules changed when the referee says "break!" ? In the past it meant break and stand off then commence; now, hitting on the break which was always forbidden seems to be totally ignored and obeying the rules risks a dodgy hit. The whole boxing contest seems dodgy.

She's ridiculously strong. Absolutely dominated every event with no one able to get close to her while making it look so easy. Saw her ride in Manchester earlier in the year and it was an absolute joy.
Speaking of ridiculously strong - how about Kenny just riding off the front of the bunch in the keirin semi! :shock:

Don't think anyone could dislike Laura Trott. A truly outstanding performer and she seems really nice and down to earth to boot.

Dominates the field but clearly doesn't think she's ever going to win. Amazing really.

Amazing, Luara Trott's gold, a gold from Yachting today, a gold guaranteed tomorrow, two gymnastics bronzes, another possible cycling silver and Jason Kenny to come shortly. What a great day...

Becky James was unlucky there think she had her and the German just held on at the last second. Reckon she'd have won if it had gone to a third race too.

Shit....

Think he's been very lucky there. Not that he would have deserved a DQ but easily could have gone against him.
