jonfett Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 I thought Axel Merckx had a good chance for gold.. but bronze is still ok, at least its a medal! Better than nothing. Jon. Quote
DoubleT Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Yes was very happy to see Merckx get it, some thing his dad never did... Quote
jonfett Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 But his dad, Eddy Merckx, was a great cyclist and a legend now. Jon. Quote

jonfett Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Chris Hoy has won Gold (Britain first cycling medal) in the 1-km time trial, creating a new Games record. He finished the four laps of the velodrome in one minute 00.711 seconds, smashing the old Olympic record which Jason Queally of britain did in Sydney. Now Britain had 2 golds.. but we got some more chances to come. Jon. Quote
