Women's Omnium - Elimination Race | London 2012 Olympics

Highlights from the Women's Omnium Elimination Race during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Cycling is among the rare sports that have always featured on the Olympic programme. Road cycling, however, was not on the programme of the Paris 1900, St Louis 1904 or London 1908 Games, while track cycling wasn't in the programme of the Stockholm 1912 Games.
The first road event in Olympic history took place in 1896 on the marathon route at the first Games of the modern era in Athens. The race started in Athens, headed towards Marathon, then returned to Athens, at the Phaliron velodrome.
Olympic cycling was added to the women's programme in Los Angeles in 1984, with an individual road event.

I watch ALL sports, this is by far the most impressed I have ever been with any sportsperson in one event! 👏🏻

[@joshuaboyd7978]

I don't know anything about this sport, but watch the videos all the time because it's just so graceful and fun to watch.

[@iayyam]

Joshua Boyd first across the white line wins lol

[@enuelongor8381]

Joshua Boyd soccer game

[@jackthorne1922]

Joshua Boyd ur like me

[@Thomass7586]

Last one is out. There can be only 1 🤣

[@user-zl6sd3gk6z]

Me too, I don't know about this sport too but watching video is so fun.

[@Samuel-bj9cd]

So we're watching random olympic videos again, huh?

[@larrycarter3765]

no we are not.

I just laughed so hard cause you called out exactly what I'm doing as I was thinking it

This is intense

[@petxx8155]

You ryt!!...INTENSE!!...the RACE itself is GREAT...but...listening to d commentator is TREMENDOUSLY INTENSE!!...IS HE TALKING UNDER D BLANKETS??😨😨

[@englandcalling9721]

Laura's wave in the final straight was delightful.

[@internetenjoyer1044]

it's so incredible hwo Laura trott is a powerful sprint specialist but shes also seemingly too tiny for her power, and also somehow competes in this event which looks more endurance related

[@garshtoshteles]

Omnium is actually quite short, maybe 4 or 5 miles, which is like running a mile in terms of endurance/effort. Her small size helps with her drag, which is a lot of cycling. That's how Mark Cavendish (another tiny cyclist) sprints so effectively! : ) Cycling is so neat

[@John-dh1gh]

Wow, she's an absolute rocket. Power way beyond her stature.

[@TheEulerID]

Laura also had endurance. Possibly her best event was the 4,000 metre pursuit.

[@reymondatienza8427]

wow this is the first time i understand a race lmao!! awesome!!!

[@DavetheNav]

Top ride Laura.....x

[@npm2457]

It was a glorious 2012 Olympics!!

[@mikdavies5027]

Once again Laura hammered Sarah!

[@rubbytan8009]

Wow! so awesome race. Very clear to understand now.

[@sebclax5073]

Anyone else love the design of the british 2012 helmets?

[@jeffyboyreloaded]

Rewatching this...was hammer doping that was insane how she had that much tank

[@axiomist4488]

OMG !!!!!!! That was incredible ! And she wasnt even panting at the end ! Wooooo hooooo !!!!!!

[@ashescool1]

There might aswell not be a commentator, couldnt hear a word he said the whole race

[@princeloteyro6002]

Team song in cycling

[@redalert2834]

Pretty hopeless. The man sounds like he's sleepwalking to the bathroom in the middle of the night, his voice muffled by a mouth full of cotton wool. Couldn't they have chosen someone who's at least half awake, and turned the background volume down a bit?

[@TheEpicLew10ant]

Where did Trott make any sort of illegal move? I can't see one. And track racing is more of a contact sport than most think, if that's what you thought.

[@everaldoalves-curitiba]

Assistindo os vídeos agora em 08/03/2023 aqui de Curitiba/Pr- Brasil 🇧🇷

[@gankarthi6040]

How energetic British sprinter wowwwwwwwwww

[@jeffyboyreloaded]

hammer has beaten trott in this same scenario, but in this race she had to work harder to not get eliminated so that final sprint just wasn't there. fantastic race all around

[@AvaPxiaO]

hammer is the shitiest rider ever to throw a leg over a saddle

[@jorgeeduardomarinlopez1290]

Diva inglesa.reina de la velocidad

[@matthewdavies9404]

Lol love seeing all the Olympic nerds fight over who made illegal moves and who didn't NOOB

[@JohnOConnell]

Well, *none* of the very experienced commentators seemed to see anything ...

[@mashy0001]

The only potentially dodgy move I saw from Trott was a rather sharp move up, but it was a forced move to avoid another rider coming up that was in no way deserving of relegation. Bunch races are dangerous, deal with it.

[@Kevinschart]

she did it multiple times though....and then got dusted in the end.

[@raindrop]

so grate

[@Waldo905]

that was fireee

[@kypriuanshustov5397]

[@kevinbray9550]

Should introduce this format in F1. That might even make it interesting.

[@curviracn1336]

Épico 🎉🎉

[@asenciondivinagracia8881]

the speed and timing....

Quais são as regras, como funciona esse esporte?

[@Jaburu]

sempre depois do sino tocar, o último a passar a linha é eliminado. simples assim

Back when I was a track racer, this was my favorite event. I usually did pretty good.

[@habdman]

cool

[@goathead3579]

@@habdman lol why is your name so long

[@mhmdmosa7789]

رائع

[@whiterabbit9028]

Ah I see, in other words she made no illegal moves. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@AvaPxiaO]

illegal and anti-athletic moves are different. Trying to scare riders behind you so they can't make a pass should become illegal, especially when it is repeatedly done on the final straight.

[@Shnitzle4]

Are they riding fixed gear? Because I saw no brakes on any of their bicycles

[@BoJacobsStrom]

track bikes are allways fixed gear

[@BEstudent]

No brakes indeed....they use the slope of the track to regulate their speed....especially in sprint events

[@TheSogmeister]

***** - Dont you mean 14 - 52?

[@kucingputih492]

always love seeing this us great britain pissing that race by that woman what a powerhorse she is. :D

[@pauluk72]

Ok so if she makes 'tons of illegal moves' how about you go through the video and name the time of when each 'illegal move' happens and then give me the UCI code it infringes.

Hi, i'm 14 years old and really want to become a pro cyclist when i'm older! just wondering what speed do i need to be able to average for say a 10 mile road ride at this age?

[@jg14gerhard_bar]

well you're much older now, but what would you be doing in the Gym, since the endurance.staimna and power are obv important.

Thomas Whorton wow that's true, well, the american is who makes the agressive movement

lol it was the american who initiated the jerk. you can clearly see her doing the same thing the next lap too

Is lee wai sze in the race?

[@naldsiklista]

thumbs up to all bikers!

[@Monkeyz73]

for the elimination race, the best place to be during the race is 2nd or 3rd.

[@mjwu786]

Why... why do they keep riding when they have been eliminated? Do they get a second chance?

[@rishavmitra5732]

Because there are no brakes... They stop only when their momentum runs out

[@sugiartokahar938]

There's no second chance... they just can't stop the bike spontaneously..

[@kumarsaurabh7514]

Well, I was wondering, how do they know that they are eliminated? I mean anyone passes on a message or something else?

[@savjack100]

Red light blinks in the middle of their handle bars when they are eliminated
