Thanks.
Here comes Murray!
The Omnium is a great event to watch.
race makes sense now @Rado
I have no idea what is going on in this race.
Yea I've started to see that. Cavendish seems to have left it too late.
The cycling looks like a formation dance team competition.
Yea, very tactical
Easiest way to understand any cycling race is to remember that it's much easier to ride in somebody's slip stream than it is to ride at the front.
The riders want to spend as long as possible in somebody else's slipstream before out sprinting their competitor at the end.

Great start for Lasse Norman, let's just get our 2nd gold medal at these games.
Didn't he fall the other day though? Probably influenced his decision.
This tennis crowd is pretty loud...
Wow 1-0 Kenny.
Great first race from Kenny.
I'd have thrashed them in that first lap.
Kenny is too good
Kenny is an absolute beast
Becky James just absolutely pissed that first heat
Is there a sport where Britain is as dominant as in track cycling? They're like Spanish clubs in UEFA competitions.
Katy Marchant through as well.
Looking at that medal table, pretty insane how much Swimming makes USA a power house, right now almost half of their medals are swimming, China/GBR very mixed up.
Whys that? Is swimming massively pushed in the states? Similar to say Cycling here or something? Seems a massively anomaly they are so far ahead in it.

Rowing would be the other one but maybe not quite as dominant as cycling.
The Finn class sailor is now guaranteed gold on Tuesday. Another one in the bag.
He could leave Rio with 6 career Olympic golds. If he keeps riding as long as Wiggins he could do two more Olympics. He could easily become Great Britains most decorated Olympian.
I'm not sure it's any more complicated than that they have 2 people who have won 9 gold medals in the pool.
Feels like a lot of the tennis matches have had more breaks of serve than you'd typically see on hard courts.
In the tennis only 2-1 in the first set and the match has already been 30 minutes.
Manchester is on top of the sporting world (or close to it) at the moment. We have Pep and Mou managing the City's two clubs. Pogba and Ibra have just landed. Team Sky cycling and team GB cycling are based here. The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world fights out of Manchester and we have two other boxing world champions.
Another break of serve 
I think Murray will take this.
I think Murray will take this.Becky James looks nice in that little top.
Longer this game goes on the easier it will be for Murray. Del Potro must be knackered.
Michael Phelps on his own have won more gold medals than most countries I think.
And Noel Gallagher.
no all going Murrays way.
Kenny gonna take the gold here I expect.
Jason Kenny wins the gold.
Kenny wins gold, 5th of his career.
Kenny takes it, absolutely beasted it too good.
Sir Jason Kenny in January I reckon.
Maybe as well as Chris Froome
