Someone has put a **** Dastardly-style oil slick on the course just to liven things up t'would appear

D!(k DASTARDLY FFS

Claire Balding must have dropped her lube!

Is anyone else drawn to the mexican Rivas, she has a rather large...

British team tactics yet again in an individual event.  Hall is not trying to win herself but is taking someone else's place in the team who may have tried to.

no GB medal in this today

who won? Got Norden laid at 1,01 for 15 K SEK there

Fantastic race and finish though

Spirig given it

Need a slow mo

Laid Norden for plenty of chunky odds-on when they're prattling on about dead-heats,
but the computer showing her in 2nd

Nice green even if it is a dead heat

1.01 smashed on norden

nearly 4K matched

brilliant race

was cheering for my country girl the whole race. but my pocket hopes for spirig now ;)

Unless of course Bf void the last 15 secs of the market after they'd finished

That's dead heat

In Olympian spirit it should be both Golds, but the on-screen times clearly showed a 1st and 2nd,
well after the finish. Commentators going on about DHeat meant a lot of market confusion

i hope spirig won but would love an inplay market now.

Norden last matched 1.35
Spirig last matched 1.40

Wrong forum 

Perhaps they ought to have a race off like the swimmers do. Ha Ha

The replay seemed to clearly show Sprig had her chest infront.

Pays to have bigger t1ts!

The photo didn't though

amazing race helen was jinxed by the comms, raving about her to much.

Doubt it.
Same time to 100th of a second

Bullshit decision

I layed Jenkins at 2.22 so dont mind who won

Dutched Sprig at 8/1 and Noris at 5/1 when there were four in the breakaway at about 2km to go. At that stage the bookies had the aussie a 1/2 shot despite the other two girls having the best finishes.

Just show the photo again ffs, some of the TV production has been appalling this Olympics

Cheers Ambrosius, looks Norden if anything?

i reckon kenenisa bekele will beat farah later, he has such a devasting finishing kick.

Norden accepted silver medal. all done. betfair can pay out to us winners now.

i would win a small bit more on a joint first but i thought sprig clearly won even if it was by the smallest of margins. Noren seemed to hot the line first with her legs but sprigs chest hit the line first.

paid out

great race. 1,01 beat ;)

From a purely sporting point of view i think a joint first would have been best in a race over such a long distance.
Sprig still gets her gold and surely a joint gold is not much difference from an outright gold when compared with the difference between silver and gold for norden.

Thought the markings on Sprigigs outfit was Norden's chest but sadly not, correct decision

I blame them too pesky kids who put up that yard of paper on finishing line

the initial times shown were not to 100th of a second, they were in hrs, mins and seconds, so it was same to the second
