Team Australia was in a real tight battle with Team Great Britain in the Gold Medal race in the men's team pursuit. The Brits had started out with the lead, but the Aussies came back. As they hit the bell lap the Brits were closing back in, but had one of there riders touch wheels and get stuck off of his seat on the crossbar. I'm not saying that Australia wouldn't have won regardless, but it would have been even closer. Kell O'Brien (Australia) is circling the inner track having swung off having done his part to set the pace for his fellow teammates, Sam Welsford, Oliver Bleddyn, and Connor Leahy. The foursome took the Gold Medal, the first for down under since 2004. The only other gold in this event was way back in 1984. I am sure they would like to increase the frequency of Gold otherwise they will be waiting until 2044.
