GOLD MEDAL and world record for TeamGB in the cycling track.
Quote:
GOLD! WORLD RECORD! Sir Chris Hoy Philip Hindes & Jason Kenny tear the track apart to win Gold in the Men's Team Sprint Cycling in a new World Record time of 42.6seconds.
Sir Chris Hoy's 5th Olympic Gold Medal. Sensational. Congratulations gentlemen.
Happy with that gold in cycling, TEAMGB :)
Just won gold and set a Olympic Record in mens swimming!
Edit; that was the US.

Fantastic day for Team GB.
Shame about Victoria Pendleton and Jess Varnish being disqualified in the cycling. Victoria has another two events so fingers crossed for her.
Was it 3 Gold and 3 Silver today?
Correct from what I remember.Quote:

Staging the Surrey sections of the Olympic cycle races and time trials took 42 miles of roadside barriers, 5,000 cones, 4,000 road signs and 545 road closures.
Tour de Surrey? We will have to watch that space and see if it happens!
Such a shame about the womens cycling. The Chinese team were disqualified too. Apparently the mark to tell the cyclists that it is fine to overtake wasn't as clear as it could have been. The annoying thing now is that they've properly marked it, which sort of deems the whole cycling events a bit unfair and inconsistent :/
