Cycling Track Women's Sprint Finals - Great Britain (Victoria Pendleton) v Australia (Anna Meares) Full Replay from the Velodrome at the London 2012 Olympic Games. - 7 August 2012
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.

🗞️ News from the Olympic world: oly.ch/News
I saw an interview last night with Anna Mears and she said they planned 3 years in advance to set up the final ride of her staying behind Pendleton so that she had the advantage on the final lap. In fact, they trained with another cyclist for 12 months to copy the move Pendleton made .... which shows what is involved in winning a Gold Medal!
You saw this on the front bar
@@regiouslol8347 Sure did
Front bar lmao
Funny as
Yep, it was in Anna Meare's book "Now." They practiced the trackstand specifically for London.
@@thetwojamies6976the same time
Pendleton was disqualified from race one because if you are leading in the last 200m you must stay below the red 'sprinter's' line, which she failed to do. So race one was given to Meares. Meares won race two, so in the best of three races, she wins the gold with two wins.
Riders alternate leading out in each race, and must stay in front for at least one lap, after that they can try and force the other rider to the front if they want to. Riders tend to like to do a come from behind sprint using the drafting effect where the lead rider is splitting the air and giving the rear rider a draft.
Russell moore----Yes, but the only reason Pendleton came over the red line was because Mears, who was known as 'elbows' , nudged her first thereby throwing Pendleton slightly off balance.
That may be true of the FIRST instance, but she went above the sprinters line THREE TIMES ... the first (and most blatant) time when they almost collided, the next about 20 meters later, and the last as they crossed the finish line.
This is my first time seeing this sport, so thank you. This helps a lot
Please refrain from providing evidence-based explanations. It offends many who cannot get over their prejudices.@@ydenneki
aw love how they link hands afterwards, true sportsmanship
bbh your obviously not an athlete
Hi
ماشالله
What an amazing climatic contest between two legends of the sport and supreme Olympic athletes. Maybe if Pendleton hadn't come out of the sprinters lane causing the clash it may have been closer in race two, as it would have been hard to refocus after that. Especially when Meres was able to force Pendleton back around and unleash her power!
Anna tried the race tactics only once against Victoria and then she hid it for 18 months until the Olympics, practicing it every day. She is a star
What a brilliant race, great duel by both cyclists~ well done~
Anna Meares, one of my heroes.
If only Pendleton had worked on her track stands all day
Samuel Jewell that's right Anna knew she couldn't
What a race
That's what you call smashing your opposition. Anna is a legend.
2 fantastic female athletes , both as great as each other
Wonderful race, congratulations really appreciated 👍
Wonderful work girl
the important part starts at 8:33 turn on HD for better results
bruh
the bond that the family has is beautiful. Very pure and cultured approach to a person, you should apply the same
@@MJAY-N7129 yes i do ❤️
Wow I started looking by her looks & I end it celebrating her win, what a powerful athlete!!
Magnifique performance et athlètes extraordinaires
I really don't understand what happened in second round

Why is the audio so muffled ? Are there socks over their microphones ? Pretty easy to EQ the sound for a better sound experience

cazador nocturno indeed 😎
a beautiful sporting spirit
all best
Why do geese fly in a V shape? Because those at the back don't have to work as hard. Pendleton followed Meares up to the edge to try and stay behind so she could keep her momentum. It doesn't work, she's forced into the front and loses.
That track stand
Still hurts to watch this...
It would've been a tad useful to show the DQ decision of the first race! Who put this video together........CNN?!
Jessie lopiccolo Pendleton was scrapped of her win in the first race as she crosses her line so meares won that 1-0 and then won the second so won 2-0
Bracio a menudo
Waw Olympics is very interesting game
why the race is like a pursuit ?, sorry for my ignorance
oacmre Usually, one racer is trailing. This racer is looking to make a strategic Sprint or jump on the last and third lap. If it's not timed well she cans lose as the racer ahead can force her out and around, while Sprint to the end. The first few laps are a dance to see what moves will be made.
Can someone please explain to me?? I'm a cycling enthusiast but not into watching track biking (Nevertheless, it's still pretty interesting to me). Why do the cyclist start easy? Then the leader will always be eyeing the racer behind, and what's with Meares cycling to the edge of the track and why does Pendleton follows behind her like as if it's part of the rule? And the she overtook her and sped off, can't seem to bind them all together, an explanation will help tho
If a rider makes a break and fails to drop the rider behind then the rider behind can sit in their draft saving as much as 40% of their energy due have so much less air resistance. This allows the rider behind to easily sling shot past the lead rider for the win. Tactics are HUGE in sprinting as a result.
It is much about surprise: The rider in front always risks that the other takes cover of drag behind him/her and saves so much power that he/she can destroy the other in the final sprint. On the other hand, if you surprise the other competitor by a sudden acceleration, he/her has to close the gap and looses much extra energy lacking in the final. Therefore they both try to stay close, but with a speed, where saving energy due to reduced air drag does not play a role and they always try to avoid being surprised looking at each other. Even in the final, timing is everything: If you can stay some more seconds behind the other, you might save the decision making energy, but if you start final acceleration too late, it is all over, too.
Yes
Whose here from the howie games?
I wish I was a bicycle saddle
Eu gosto,desse esporte ciclismo de pista
i dont understand the rule of this game. looks like the person in front has the advantage . how do you even decide who is better?
The person who crosses the line first is the better rider. Tactics and athletic ability decide the winner.
how does it work?
F F Souza no one want to answer us
Khadar ali it’s a pretty simple race. First to cross the line wins. Problem is, if you are in front, you don’t want to push hard for the whole race. This would tire you out while your opponent has been in your slipstream.
So the first couple of laps is a mental game, it’s strategy and it’s rider skill. Being able to watch your opponent, predict whether they are going to push, or trick you into pushing for them.
If you are the leader you must lead for one lap. But after that is when the games are played.
You can see in the second race Mears rides right up the bank and almost comes to a complete stop. Mears does better chasing, so does Pendleton. But Pendleton is forced in front by Mears’ trackstand handing Mears the advantage.
The last lap or so is about raw pace who has the best sprint in them. You can try and force the rider behind to go around you on the outside. But there are some restrictions for the last lap.
If you lead in the last lap you can’t cross the red “sprinters’ line” this would make it to easy to just impede the other rider’s line and force them wide.
I don't get it. Why did the girl from Great Britain get a head start?
It's not a head start, in track cycling someone has to be on the front and it's usually whoever started in the bottom position, which was Victoria Pendleton
The rider in the back usually has a benefit because the rider in the front gets most of the wind impact in the race meaning that the rider in the back can conserve energy in order to be fsster in the last meters of the race.
Народ кто понимает хорошо, почему из двух заездов золото у( AUS)? там же показали что первый заезд выиграла британка,второй Мирс (aus) ,получается 1:1 должен быть третий ,до двух побед
8:30
Look at that thing poking out
I know how it feels when we go in front of billions people ...
Of course, winning silver is great, isn't it? We all remember the names of the silver medallists who Michael Johnson beat in all his Olynpic golds, don't we? Gold is great. Silver is forgotten.
Do you remember who beat Phelps in the 100m butterfly in Rio?
Pendleton is an all time great track sprinter so yes fans of the sport remember her silvers too (as we do Mears). This was one of the greatest rivalries in all of sport.
Not for this race
@@gazzawhite Swimming have too much medals. No one remember silver medalists. But in Athletics, silver is often remembered
Of course I remember Roger Black.

Victoria should cycle faster and win a gold medal
Waiting 4 the sikander of India to penetrate this game.. Ppl wl forget cricket

Cross the finish line first.

Is it a coincidence that everytime the sprint gold medalist (men and women) always have larger/bigger legs?
Coincidence, IMO. Even if someone has larger legs than you, if they don't have their tactics, sprint position, etc sorted out, you can still win.
I mean, even IF Pendleton has bigger legs than Meares, with Pendleton's much more upright position (vs Meares' more "tucked in" position), she'll lose
Now that is what a real woman should look like, not a size zero.
Beautiful theatre
She's strong
Kaylan kaya makakapaglaro ang pinas sa ganitong laro...hmmmm...
I don't understand this... I mean Pendleton had the lead how did she loose this...
"Pendelton was disqualified after race one for a technical violation." "Pendleton was disqualified from race one because if you are leading in the last 200m you must stay below the red 'sprinter's' line, which she failed to do. So race one was given to Meares. Meares won race two, so in the best of three races, she wins the gold with two wins."
It was brilliant in as much as it whipped the Daily Mail into some proper funny hot faced anger because "their girl" got beaten fair and square
i dont get it, she only won 1 and so did the brit
In the first race the British rider drifted out of the sprinter's lane (red line) and was ruled to have impeded the Aussie rider. That race was given to the Aussie.
👍🤩🤩👍

請問這個規則是在比什麼的呢 怎麼一開始在比慢
I don't understand
Why do they strart slowly? If it is a sprint?
Tactics. Go out into the lead too early and the rider in 2nd can get a nice rest sitting in the leader's slip stream and using 40% less energy. They then use that saved energy to slingshot past in the final metres to win the race. The race is often won by the purely fastest rider regardless of tactics but when things are close like in an Olympic final, the timing of when and how to go all out for the win is critical.
Know Thy Enemy
Well, that was a fix. Victoria had to lean back onto the rather large Australian to prevent being shoved off the track and had to cross the red line.
What are you talking about!
OK as it happens Mr Young, my name is Keith Young also. What do you mean "fix"??..In an Olympic final?!..Why wasn't Meares disqualified then?..
@@themcyoungs8414 Thanks for taking an interest in my comment. I believe Meares manoeuvre should have been grounds for disqualification. What I saw was Meares (a much larger body) leaning on Victoria, forcing her over the red line. Obviously the judges saw this as a legitimate manoeuvre.
Have you noticed that Keith Young is an unusually common name?
@@themcyoungs8414 Thanks for taking an interest in my comment. I just watched the the race again and you are correct. The evening imbibing took its toll. Have you noticed how unusually common the name Keith Young is?
Ms Pendleton seemed to find it necessary to lean on her opponents rather often (rivalling CAV in that respect)
Huh.. They won 1 each

So many ppl say that because they don't like it when aussies win

Se te acaba el tiempo de gracias como en los días de Noé, y sin Cristo no hay salvación sólo condenación eterna no importando quién sea, después del levantamiento de la iglesia de Cristo que está a punto de suceder se mirarán unos a otros y se matarán, las mujeres piadosas se comerán a sus hijos y los hijos se comerán a sus padres, te invito a escapar acepta a Cristo como único Señor y suficiente salvador personal, para que sean perdonado tú pecados y tenga parte con él en su reino, ahora es tú responsabilidad.
