Emma Pooley well deserved silverOlympics by richardlYCFC (U12813537) 13 August 2008  Congratulations Emma!!! If ever anyone deserved a medal after their exertions and effort in the road race it was Emma. A pretty phenomenal time trial which had some of the world's best riders trailing in her wake. I really am chuffed to bits this morning for Emma - as much as i was for Nicole on Sunday and i'm still on a high after that!! The ladies still leading the way for team GB!!

All the Olympic stuff is being filed under the olympics site at bbc.co.uk/olymics which should be your best bet during the games.

BenIsRight (U1500126) posted Aug 13, 2008 Am i the only one who thought Pooley had a better chance of a medal than Cooke? It was briefly discussed on the BBC but i do think they missed a trick when building up Cooke too much, Pooley was who they should have been concentrating on - especially as she went earlier so better ratings!

mysticshrimp (U2157912) posted Aug 13, 2008 Emma Pooley's time almost seemed like a freak result as one by one, all the others failed to match even her split time, by huge margins. Jennie Longo rode supremely, but KRISTIN ARMSTRONG was the only one even better prepared than Pooley for this gruelling discipline. Awesome on the downhill, Armstrong turned a slight deficit into a decisive margin which truly deserved gold.
