The fact that she was a premature baby whose lung collapsed makes it even more special.

I like how all these cyclists are so sporting, every race they all congratulate one another, great to see.
Careful. You'll spread more rumours about the Team GB Cycling team
Bless her 
She sounds genuinely surprised to have won 
And asthmatic too!
She sounded out of breath when she got emotional then. Just shows that it doesn't need to hold you back. Scholes achieved plenty.
Come on Marchant!!!
There's the crotch target cycle suit shown at its best again on the start line.
Laura Trott our most dominant olympic athlete? 100% record, she and the girls have smashed the world record multiple times in the team pursuit and the omnium was just taking the piss.
Rebecca James now too
Here's Becky James in the final
Jason Kenny giving Laura a hug. That's nice.
Not wanting to go all French about it, but I wonder if she takes advantage of a TUE on account of her asthma.
Does anyone know when Josh Buatsi's next fight is?
Don't let @DomesticTadpole see you talking about that!There's the crotch target cycle suit shown at its best again on the start line.
Boooooo
Noooooo pipped on the line
that was close, thought she had it .
Vogel seems a canny fox
ah feck
At least she has another chance.
Best of three isn't it?
Yes.
How do they determine who goes in front?
Think we'll win bronze and silver. Kenny will take gold.
I think they toss for it, then the next race they swap round.
So she should follow in the 2nd?
I think so. Knowing me I have got it completely wrong.
Medal ceremony now. Go Trotty Go.
Katie Hopkins won silver?
That girl behind sarah hammer is
Ghastly dresses.That girl behind sarah hammer is
Hopefully you're right, it feels like the better starting position.I think so. Knowing me I have got it completely wrong.
Hopefully Katie will win it 2-0
If I'm honest I'd be lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind that this team might be *ahem* 'assisted' and if it were any other country being this dominant we'd be accusing them of being doped up too. So I do sympathise with their point of view.
Also, jesus, you can tell Laura Trott's from my neck of the woods when she starts talking. Wouldn't wish that accent on anyone.
Just
get in that was a cracking race.
