Yeah..watched it on Eurosport (i hardly watch any sport on TV) and it was impressive, it initially looked like no-one would better the original 3.17 time..let alone knock 7 seconds off.

Watched BMX from the Olympic track after too, great to see Shanaze Read win :)

" all over the place like a monkey dry humping a football "

... could only be Rob W on Freecaster!

Awesome race, one of if not the best i've ever watched. Danny Hart's run was awesome, and Gwin is on another level.

Champs in Champery should be a good race too.

I just can't fathom how the world class riders are being beaten so much.

You can only say it's pure talent.

That was a proper loose and scary track. fun to watch but i bet it was scary to ride, some good comedy off's but also some nasty ones too (the scott rider head first into the tree) it reinforces the "i dont do DH" in me :lol:

Can't help but wish it was Beaumont or Peaty at the top though!
