Women's track sprint final: Anna Meares vs Victoria Pendleton - live blog
PENDELTON 1-0! in 11.481 seconds. Vogler was no chance as Pendleton controlled the sprint all the way through as Vogler could only get close to her shoulder. Pendleton’s speed down the straight is almost unbeatable

4:20 left in second quarter of Water Polo USA leads Australia 6-4.
Women's track sprint final: Anna Meares vs Victoria Pendleton - live blog
From the Guardian’s Live Blog of Day 10 of the Games
Having been out for a limber-up spin around the track about 20 minutes ago, Pendleton then took up her customary pre-race position in the British pits, sitting on a chair with her back to the left-hand side of the Union Jack backdrop that marks their territory, with Chris Hoy sitting to her left.
She had been chatting to assorted backroom staff, but then the ‘Do Not Disturb’ shades and headphones went on for 10 minutes or so and now she’s warming up on a stationary bike in order to limber up for the penultimate race of her career.

Welcome back to live coverage of the Women’s Track Final. Foxtel’s Coverage does not begin until 12:55am AEST so until then make a coffee and sit back for some great entertainment.
All night I will be with Foxtel’s coverage in case Channel Nine drop out due to other commitments. I may also provide a Water Polo update every now and then as well as I know some will like an update (1/4 time 3-3).

No I’m not saying that, of course a player can learn a new style. What I am saying is that if it doesn’t feel comfortable, the player won’t take it up
AFL set shots are an art, not a uniform problem
Chris
I have bee saying to people exactly what Damien Barett said. Eddie is next for a succession plan surely as he has been there longer than Malthouse.
Eddie has done great things for the club but no-one is bigger than the club and that includes Eddie.
Magpies show poison of succession planning
Paul, I’ve played and watched sport for years. When someone has to come off injured, you move on to win the contest
Interchange Apocalypse Now? I don't think so

Rothfield and Gould, give it a rest
I would like to say that I am in awe of what Eddie has done for the club and his rise to fame. But he crossed the line and has already done it this year as well with Tom Scully
Eddie again shows he can't wear two hats
You are thinking like me Tom C. Apart from where the Gold Coast will finish, I agree with you’re views
Ok so which AFL clubs will miss the finals?
Laver won 2 grand slams in open and the professional era (1962 and 1969).
He takes the cake for me
Laver, not Federer, is the greatest ever player
you are kidding?? He could have ended a career with that tackle. I hope he gets 10 matches
Muscat's tackle blown out of proportion
Warm up lap begins both trying to fox each other out.
