so Anthony Agogo is through to the semi finals in the boxing and this means he is guaranteed a medal....how??

surely in boxing a semi final means there are 4 boers....there are oly 3 medals so one must go away empty handed right??

dont get me wrong, it is great he is guaranteed a medal but i am just a bit confused lol

because in the amateur boxing, you are not allowed to fight for 30 days after you lose a fight....

so the semi finalist who lose both get bronzes

okay...omnium.... think of it as the heptathlon of cycling.....

6 parts..

1. Flying lap (against the clock)

2. Points race

3. Elimination

4. Individual pursuit

5. Scratch race

6. Time trial

if you are the best in an event you get 1 point... 2nd 2pts... 3rd 3pts.. and so on

person with the lowest point score after all 6 events wins.....

any simpler...

you could be talking about the elimination race... in which every other lap, someone is eliminated... last person over the line....

so it goes slow quick slow quick....

It doesn't seem right though 2 bronzes in boxing but not for others in the same situation. It should be most points in the semis

i think hes talking about the indivdual persute races where they start of slowly with the front rider watching the persuing rider.

Is that not the sprint? All a bit cat & mouse. Slowly slowy, looking over your shoulder to watch the other make the move ..... then boom, cycle like a bastard as you aptly put it!
