Whats with everyone dissing the South African? It was a legit move and it didn't pay off. Graves is unlucky but give the South African a break!

 

[Techno Destructo]

dirty move read, got what she deserved

Do you really feel that was a dirty move? Maybe she was trying to avoid such a sharp corner considering she washed out on a berm before?

That's my sentiments.. the commentators were the one's heaping it on the South African.. that's bad class.

Dozer, I was mainly holding my breath when they showed the rider's view of the start ramp!! I was even feeling nervous. I've never raced BMX but I just thought "Wow, that is scary. Racing bar to bar with other riders on a track like that!". Amazing stuff.

I didn't think so... I was almost sure that Shanaze Reade is a woman.

Agree!! One day the riding Gods will smile on him and he'll win a race he trains really hard for

Bad luck mate! We'll see you on the trails

Jared

Does anyone know if Jared is racing at the World Cup in Canberra?

 

[24alpha]

I am not going to eat my Smiths "Gravey" chips now in protest!!!!!!!!

Who am I kidding.....

Bad luck Jared, I was standing on a chair at the Sports and Rec Centre at work yelling!!!! Then throwing polite abuse at the Saffa. But to his credit, it could have happened to anyone.
Jared, you made us proud! Go Aussies.

 

[timmyDH]

How fast was Anne-Caro!!! Only 3 people went under 36 secs both days. Not bad for a 30 year old.

 

[dcrofty]

Not bad for a 30 year old.

Hey! Watch it sonny

BMX final

Jared was unluckly on the day, but i am sure the next one will be his!! Good on yah, we were all well impressed with your runs in the semi's!

OK i may get shot down for saying this??..here i go anyway. Sarah Walker was also fckn unluckly!!! That chick rocks and it would have been great to have the Kiwi up there getting a medal!!! 4th but no cigar

 

[Saffa]

Hey I'm a South African anyone got any problems they can talk to me!
There were plenty of stacks all week, and he was trying to make a passing move which just didn't pay off.
Unlucky for Jarred, but don't make it personal, it's just the way it goes.

Hope Jarred is at the World Cup so I can give him a round of aplause great effort for a mtb'r.

 

[LowDrag]

he didn't have a maxx daddy on the front did he ?

picked a real doozy of a rider to washout into

 

[RCOH]

I am cataloguing all of the olympic bmx right now. Graves, Madill & Kama now entered into ABC archives to be preserved as olympians until the world ends!

'Dirty move' may be a bit harsh - perhaps it would be better to describe her move as overly ambitious or reckless... It certainly wouldn't have won her any friends if she'd taken out Anne-Caro. Can anybody think of a more accomplished rider? Multiple World Cup and World Champ and now Olympic Champ - bloody freak!
