Aye, I'm watching it in iPLayer, must be a few minutes behind BBC!

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.

Do you mean the First Round?

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....

Hodgkinson is 9/1 SPOTY, wins that 800 I reckon she'll be a shoe in

The whole build up to the games, every broadcast during has all been geared up towards her, can't believe this was 9/1. 

It's a certainty

Oh aye, I understand that that's the process, it just seems a bit odd to me, different to swimming, track etc. 

Hopefully the blokes will pull a surprise tomorrow, but the Dutch are so fast, you can't see anyone besting them. A silver would be excellent. 

Come on KH.

Only way the Dutch don't win is a mechanical.....

She always has been: after races she would always be bubbly, warm and friendly. Still the same now.

Can see why Jason Kenny was attracted to her!

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 😂
