God, what's going on with that woman's teeth, the one giving the medai to Laura? Has she come straight from the dressage?

 

[Triggaaar]

It's the only way they can beat Vicky.

 

[Stat Brother]

f*** off! That is a complete bullshit decision, she is outside the lane for about ten cm. The commissaires want to ruin this track meet.

But she was clearly out, and again further down the sprint.

She might have 'got away with it' had she won by a wheel.
But a thousandth, Vicky had to be squeaky clean, and wasn't.

 

[Pantani]

What about Meares sticking her elbow in at the same time as Pendleton comes out of her lane? Does that not count? I'm apoplectic about this, it is an absolute scandal. This guy should be sacked as he just does not understand track sprinting.

pendleton won the worlds by mears going out of her lane!

If Meares had been squeaky clean in that race you might have a point, but she was not, her elbows were all over the place. She was clearly trying to get an arm in front of Pendleton as soon as she got on her shoulder.

 

[Simster]

The footage they are now showing proves the decision was probably correct. Meares wasn't squeaky clean with her elbows, but the first offense was Queen Vic's.

No, she did not. They met in the semi finals, Pendleton relegated in the first sprint, Meares in the second. Pendleton won the final race cleanly.

Come on vicky p!!!!!!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

There's 2 left, we can do this.

 

[Triggaaar]

Bollox

 

[Simster]

She f***ed that right up.

 

[pasty]

OI! Looked like the Aussie came into the red lane that time?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

ah well...great effort

Oh yeah it certainly seemed like it, but the more serious of the 2 offences is coming out of the lane, which she did.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

So hard done by in a lot of the decisions in these games. Ah well...

 

[Deleted member 18477]

Cheating Aussie pricks as usual! Keep your f***ing fat elbow away from our beautiful Victoria!

 

[Stat Brother]

Totally gutted for Vicky, she looked nailed on all games.

 

[bhafc99]

Sadly the Aussie's tactics were spot on there, nothing went as VP planned.

 

[BensGrandad]

At least VP should accept that she was well beaten in her final race. She has been a credit to her sport if you can call it a sport.
