    For once not RTEs fault apparently, it seems there are only cameras providing full race coverage for one day in each sailing category (excluding the medal races of course). Unfortunately the womens laser had its turn earlier in the week.

    Well the boards.ie commentators are so much better anyway :D

    The track cycling is back on, I just watched a heat with Victoria Pendleton I would be shocked if she doesn't get gold as she is in such form.

    Ah here there obviously stuff going on in that race to do with what line you're taking in each leg.

    Annalise down to 9th, the Dutch girl flew up to 4th and most importantly Belgian in 1st, so Annalise all square now but still 3 legs to go and at each switch there's a lot of positions being jumped

    Just thinking the technology that goes into those bikes is truly space age, its weird when a bicycle is more expensive then my car when it was new.

    On last leg now and Annalise is 10th , Belgian has won!

    Edit: Finished 10th, so has lost overall lead to the Belgian and the Dutch girl is only 2 points behind as well.

    but these races are only to qualify for the medal race.. so a top 10 finish will qualify her, the medal races are what really count and worth double points too
