Up against the Kiwis in the final.... 6:46pm... A bit of a bizarre process. Why bother having an intermediate "race" when winning it doesn't guarantee any progression? May as well just jeep going against the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winning team doesn't necessarily go through. The fastest two overall. Anyway, they've just done it again. What a win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeep Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Just now, Tonge moor green jacket said: The second race. The winning team doesn't necessarily go through. The fastest two overall. Anyway, they've just done it again. What a win! The first race is qualifying to set a time, and to see who you'll race against in the first round. The faster the time, the greater the chance of being in the medal races.... I can see what you mean, but this process has been in place for years. Also used in the Worlds & Europeans...  Great start!!! We didn't even have a women's sprint team entered in 2026 & 2021. They weren't good enough to qualify.... Emma Finucane is going to be a Track Superstar, so much talent....  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silver would be excellent. Come on KH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah always been a favourite of mine her, and she talks proper sense as a pundit as well I'm sure Balding was trying to innuendo her about hotel beds earlier 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted August 5 Members Share Posted August 5 Brilliant from Keely, the pressure must've been immense It looked a bit too close for comfort between 200m and 100m but then she got away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
