[The King!]

Wonder what's she is hoping to do and what the plan was, perhaps she just can't go

 

[LukeParkerno1]

whatever happens she did a great job gave herself a chance

 

[BobbyMorri]

Baker now needs a lap...

The issue was letting Valente get a lap. That forced her to sit up and do nothing. There has been no control in this race and chaos.

Double points in the last one? But yeah don’t get it

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Baker looks like she is just rolling around, must of over cooked the earlier rounds

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Should have sat on Valente the whole way and just kept a medal. F#$%ing terrible.

 

[juice t]

"Useless Tasmanian finishes 5th"

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Geez Baker try firing a shot over 80 laps

 

[Donakebab]

Baker's just got nothing in the tank, she hasn't showed a single burst of speed.

 

[eddiesmith]

Interesting tactic to not score any points in the final race.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

That’s it. No more medals

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good experience for Baker she’ll be better for the run.

 

[The King!]

Bugger

she has a crack overall but strange last race

 

[The King!]

Yeah I assume she is gassed

Because surely that wasn't the plan ideally

Could tell she was cooked halfway through the elimination. Seems a bit harsh to shit on her when it's clear she's got nothing lest to give. It's not like she's gone out there to tank.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Oh, thank god… was sick of all those silvers lol

 

[The King!]

Yep she still had a great overall finish

 

[Donakebab]

Good experience for Baker she’ll be better for the run.

Good experience? It's potentially her last Olympics.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah I assume she is gassed

Because surely that wasn't the plan ideally

Must have been gone, thought there were bad signs the race prior her having to fight to not be eliminated

 

[catstorm]

Honestly spending petrol on the earlier three events is a waste of time.

This Omnium is a joke, commentators going on about how great the rule change is? No it isn’t it’s ****ing dumb.

Makes the other three races way less important.

 

[largebus]

Don't think the French can overtake us for 4th.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good experience? It's potentially her last Olympics.

Could easily get to LA, riders can go on for longer than some sports. Came 5th great effort.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Don't think the French can overtake us for 4th.

Well the US are winning the women’s basketball so probably not

Exactly. The worst thing possible was to let Valente go. That meant her gold was unassailable and then everyone else just attacks the rider in silver.

To be fair she had a great first three races. But could not have played it worse in the points race - did absolutely everything wrong. Needs to go back to school and sit down with Cam Meyer and get some lessons in tactical points racing.

It's that easy is it?
