Cycling Track Men's Omnium Elimination Race Full Replay -- London 2012 Olympic Games

[@daviddorian3820]

I like this event. Tactical, speed and endurance at once. Exciting too. No ease off or you're caught out.

[@roakgaming6926]

that hong kong guy was so irritating

[@hugomesguen766]

Soooo bad

[@g00dvibes47]

This and the team pursuit are becoming my favorite events

[@asd36f]

Watch the madison - it is amazing!

[@sydeyyt7665]

I agree

[@FlintF]

Good grief, Clancy's out of his right pedal at 11:34, you can still see him being out of it at 11:52. Great effort on his part!

[@corichg]

The race starts 4:40 in to this video, if you're the impatient sort.

[@OCedarJ]

At the speed the race is going, you can't expect the riders to count who is in and who is out. Coquard just managed to keep someone behind him and that's all that matters in this race. The thing is the Honk Kong guy messed up everything by staying in the race and I hope there were according sanctions...

[@hammerbro1947]

Choi Ki Ho really did mess up the pack a bit.

[@supernoodles908]

They should have a small light on their Handel bars that flashes when they're out

[@Wolfie2TMX]

@@joeflores8394 it wasn't on the first time he got eliminated. Take a look at 7:20

[@EliMarszalek]

I hope they add this to the running events in the track. Everyone doing an all out sprint at the end not to be last just to do it all over again.

[@edcal33166]

Yes! Since running in someone’s slipstream allows you to use less energy, it’s only fair to give the athlete at the front a bonus for leading. In addition to eliminating the runner in last, give points to the one at the front. Requires greater fitness of the runners and more interesting for the spectators.

[@8acun]

Lol whats with people staying in? Need a better system here...

[@hammerbro1947]

May be 7 years late but I can understand. Especially at some time until 10:20, when I thought Choi Ki Ho was eliminated earlier, but he somehow thought he managed stay barely on.

[@goldenkeyification]

coquard is the best in this type of race , he uses tactics , holds only 1 person back so he knows he will get through

[@jakebailey4458]

this looks so brutal

[@cedricbourget2071]

Coquard has'nt lost an elimination race since three years ! He is the best in this type of race... And it's not his fault, only officials ;)

[@RockSteel141]

This is better than NASCAR.

[@8acun]

4:39 Start.

[@ciclista41]

We used to call this race "Devil-Take-the-Hindmost." Good name, yeah?

[@HarryPotter047]

start at 4:40 !!

[@Kiryienka97]

They did the same exact thing with Liß at WC this year, gosh. I don't know what happened, but such mistakes as that should not be made at such a high level of competition.

[@orginalchimp7963]

How it should work is everybody has an ear piece and if they get out they out the ear piece goes crazy

[@gabesegun7966]

That is not the outrageous part of this event. It is the most unfair sporting event I have ever seen.

[@mamilx6607]

Each of them has a little box mounted near the handle bar, it flashes for the person eliminated.

[@orginalchimp7963]

@@mamilx6607 obviously does not work well enough

[@NomadDnB]

I can't believe the officials screwed that up so bad, Coquard was out in 10th place. the Hong Kong rider was already eliminated and continued to ride, so it doesn't matter that he was the last wheel again at 10th, he wasn't part of the peloton then, Coquard was the last man and should have been eliminated, instead he rode to the win, total BS, especially at this level

[@ThePyrosirys]

NomadDnB No Coquard shouldn't be expected to know who is in and who is out, especially since the officials don't even know themselves. It's all the Honk Kong guy and the officials' fault.

[@CKlasseDTM]

Why would it be fair to blame and penalize Coquard for a mistake made by another? It's a nonsense

[@bluesilkdesigns]

How come the eliminated riders keep going around the bottom? Is it to prevent cramping?

[@zimbaboss7586]

W.C. J I'm not really sure but my coach always says once you have finished racing keeping moving your legs. It may be because the Latic acid builds up and makes the riders legs sore.

[@nedflanders6457]

Coz their feet are attached to the pedals and i don't think there is any breaks on the bikes

[@hafsagurey789]

W.C. J No brakes on the bike. Once you start, use the shape of the track to slow yourself down. And then when you slow enough your team will stop you and hold the bike while you untie yourself.

[@mauriciorojas1152]

Hafsa Gurey it’s fixed gear just try to pedal backwards

@@iswish_41that is for the audience. Cyclists are locked in and probably dont even process anything being said by the announcer.

[@carsonsmith8362]

The race officials should’ve made a better attempt to inform the Hong Kong rider that he was out. Interfering with the race when you’re already out shouldn’t be tolerated. I’m curious of how different the race could’ve been if he had pulled out earlier.

[@briseboy]

he obviously intended tohope to deceive by jumping to the front immediately after he lost, and hiding in the pack until he lost twice. It was NOT officials' fault.

[@carsonsmith8362]

@@briseboy I realize that now. The point still stands. His actions should not be tolerated.

[@bernardalexis1352]

[@zzptichka]

How come stupid Keirin is an individual event while this awesome enduring race is just part of a 6-event competition?

[@idvegih6195]

Keirin is totally different from an omnium (6 event competition) and is very popular in Tokyo. The omnium is going to happen soon which has a lot of events.

[@briseboy]

Because Yakuza found it a great betting race. It existed nowhere else for decades.

[@joeilee8646]

Lmao this elimination race they shldnt have counted the Hong Kong guy the 2nd time he was last yet they did, letting coquard stay, if they counted it properly the final rankings for this omnium would have changed a lot

[@CKlasseDTM]

It's not Coquard job to know if someone is eliminated or not, he just has to have someone behind him and focus on it. It would have been unfair to eliminate Coquard for someone other mistake.

[@gregd6706]

Wait....so when Choi got eliminated for the SECOND time did the guy in second last place get eliminated as well?

[@groundzero6662]

No, and if you look it was the french rider who ended up winning.

[@gregd6706]

I thought they wore "buzzers" to let them know when they're out? They should if they don't.

[@MebiManga]

Yeah, there's actually this screen with flashing red light between the handles, the Hong Kong contestant didn't even check that and continued to race.

[@Njurk]

instead of flashing red, they should add a beeping noise so they know when their out

[@soccernerd200]

@Emil Dahl Maybe just have a sniper take their tires out?
