I was lucky enough to go see the racing yesterday. The velodrome is a lovely facility and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Whilst I was cheering on Team GB (of course), the partisan crowd cheering on les bleus provided a great atmosphere. The place went wild when Previs won the 1k TT.

You could hide her and her bike behind Anna Mears' though. She raced it really well, I thought.

She did, she must only be about 4 foot something

I wish someone would replace the real medals with foil-covered chocolate versions and then when they did that stupid biting on the medal thing it would be worth it.
Given that they seem to have run out of rainbow jerseys (amazingly inept) they might run out of medals

Trotty is great. You got to love her approach and her ability.

Certainly do! I think it's her little wriggliness and amazing resilience that makes her so good at the Devil. You won't see Wild give up a race like that very often.
Meanwhile, Hammer appears to have left her bars feeling unforgettably hammered.

That Morton disqualification from the keirin for not getting her puncture early enough was very unfair. Penalised for something that wasn't her fault.

Interesting comment from VP in commentary, implying that she was pushed from the GB team, she didn't jump.
