In the
Junior Women's relay, Korea
brought the house down when
they won. The US picked up the
silver and Argentina the bronze.
Then, the Koreans won another
gold in the Junior Men just
a few minutes later. Holland
took their first medal of the
championship with the silver
and they were elated. The USA
took gold in the women's relay
ahead of Colombia and Korea.
Videos of all 4 relays can be
found on our video page.
That concludes
the track events, and Colombia
head the list with 8 gold ahead
of a very impressive Korea with
6 gold. New Zealand have got
to be elated with 4 gold ahead
of the USA in 4th with 3 gold.
Tomorrow
is a rest day and then we kick
off the road events on the 6th
of September at 9am local time
with the 200m Time Trial.
Only
a few hours after I said that
France can't win anything on the
track, I am eating my words because
France has just won the 3000m
Men's relay in stunning fashion
coming over the top of Kalon Dobbin
of New Zealand on the last lap.
The entire race was close and
up until the last lap it was anyone's
race apart from Italy who fell.
With US/Colombian tensions high,
there was tension in the air before
the race but that battle didn't
eventuate.
