Still amazed to see Jana in the semis given events of recent past.

Jana has drawn the toughest semi. Includes current world record holder Yuliya Pechenkina (52.34), Sheena Johnson (52.95) & Brenda Taylor (53.36)

Fingers crossed Jana gets through to the final & unscathed.

Really :eek: :lol:



Cheers sportz :smile:

Sarah ULMER (NZ) won the Women's Individual 3km Pursuit Gold medal race against Katie MACTIER (AUS) in a time of 3:24.537, breaking ULMER's day old world record of 3:26.400, winning NZ'z first ever track Cycling Gold medal. Katie MACTIER
finished with Silver.

Told you she was a good thing. I got $2.10, but even the price last night was good value. :smile:

Don't know what odds the greek girl will be after the semi but she looks a great bet.
Easily the best time and did it easy.

Thought Jana and Yuliya Pechenkina a lot up the sleeve in their semi. Fani Halkia most impressive in her semi. Likely tri?
