The thing is with the motorbike, it has to leave the track at a certain point. that point is marked on the track, he kept going over.  Imagine formula 1 , they line up on the grid, just on the painted line, then go. The cyclists  are looking at that line to go, if the bloke on a bike hasn't got off the track, that's his fault, not the cyclists

Elimination Race! My favourite.

Never seen it before but I loved it. Feels like it was designed by Stephen King

It's brilliant, best thing I've seen so far too, love it.

Usian Bolt probably the greatest athlete in history.

"Hey, Usain... how about a quick smile for the camera?"

Wonderful!

It was the last time people were going to see the natty gentleman on his funky futuristic bike.  Maybe he just couldn't let go...

With the Keirin last night I think the problem was that he motorbike wasn't accelerating off the course, they normally give it a bit of gas of the last corner so the first bike or 2 behind don't have a massive disadvantage but the guy yesterday wasn't doing that so everyone was concertina'd up behind him.  It can't be good for the race to have people back peddling to stay behind the pace bike at the start of the sprint and Kenny was having to do that on the 2nd attempt.  For the third I thhink they all agreed to let the motorbike get 5-6 yards on them so they could just get on with it, but again that's not ideal.

I've just seen Laura Muir in the 1500m final and I tell you what she may not have ran a tactically great race at all but bloody hell fair play to her, she really gave it a go.

Wonderful effort.

Surely the Brazilian crowd should know more about Olympic etiquette than the Beijing public in 2008, in that respect it was really poor form to boo the French pole vaulter the other night when he was jumping but to boo him when he stands on the podium to receive his silver medal is pretty damn shocking.

Grace, in a sporting context, comes with practice. We can see from the tiny number of medals they've won and the shameful attendances that Brazil just aren't a big sporting nation.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Bit odd, could maybe understand them booing him (but not condone) if the Brazilian had finished second behind him, but their guy won!

Brazil are crap at sport. 200M people and they've got 2 golds so far. The only sport they're any good at is football.

Beach Volleyball doesn't really count.

[Richard E]

Even Brazil being good at football is more open to question than it used to be.

Mo Farah was lucky not to fall in the 5000 heat! I wish he'd keep out of the bunch - move clear of the pack ffs!
