Cyclists demoralise the opposition

The Track Cycling Men's Team Pursuit gold medal final was held at Laoshan Velodrome in Beijing, China, on August 18, 2008. The British team claimed the title in this event and broke the world record with a time of 3:53.314. Our cycling team has just totally demoralised the other countries.



Gold Medal thirteen for team GB came with Paul Goodison in the Laser class sailing.

Track Cycling World Championships

 

At the Cycling World Championships in Manchester the British Team Pursuit team not only took the Gold Medal but also set a World Record in the process.

Geraint Thomas, Edward Clancy, Paul Manning, and Bradley Wiggins formed the team.

Rower Rebecca Romero was part of the British crew that won the 2005 World Championships in the quad sculls in Gifu, Japan, and had won a Silver at the Athens Olympics the year before. Not content with a World Championship Gold Medal at rowing, Romero has turned her attention to cycling. Tonight she got a Gold Medal in the 3,000 metres individual pursuit.
