Yeh awesome effort by the girls and hackett.

And thank you Dream Team. Took Lithuania +2.5 but when the inbetting got out to +9.5 I pulled the trigger.

Result? Lithuania sink two 3 pointers in a row near the end to take the lead :smile:

:grin: All went to plan. What a swim by Petria.

Womens 3km Indiv Pursuit(Cycling Track) -Gold Medal

Sarah Ulmer (NZL)- $1.28
Katie MacTier (AUS) - $3.40

Katie MacTier broke Sarah Ulmer's old world record in her first hit-out leading up to the final, only to see her time subsequently bettered twice by Sarah Ulmer.

SILVER at least to Katie. If GOLD goes to NZ I certainly won't begrudge it. Good luck to both girls.

Unfortunately, I think Sarah Ulmer is a pretty good thing, but I hope Katie proves me wrong.

Speaking of good things, what about the U.S Softball team? Before tonight, they'd scored something like 41 runs to nothing, and they are currently thrashing us for the 2nd time in the tournament (and we're the 2nd or 3rd best team in the world)

Yes. Not a bad looker sportznut.

Imagine winner will set a new world record to boot :wink:

Yeah, you're right Paddy, but I wasn't actually commenting on her looks. I meant that I thought Sarah Ulmer was a pretty good thing to win the Gold medal.
