    If there is anything controversial AND dangerous, it was at 4:16 when Neiwand drifted up the track.

    That was simply the way it was raced in 1992. It had gotten less aggressive by that point, and continued to the toned down version we have now.

    Gary Neiwand could have been disqualified for that dangerous move which almost took out Jens Fiedler. The commentator obviously was being bias.

    Over the course of the last couple of Olympic cycles and World Champs, I think Fielder would have been DQ’d for going beyond the sprinter’s line and race 2 would have been given to Neiwand and it would have gone to R3.

    No. It was very close but Neiwand's wheel was behind Fiedler's.

    The first round was ok, but in the second Fiedler broke the regulation by stepping outside the red line.
    I think that Gary Neiwand was faster that day in Barcelona.

      It's a common misconception that a sprinter is faster, just because he does a faster last 50 meters coming out of the slipstream, while a sprinter that has been leading the full last lap would be slower. The finish decides who is the faster, and timing your sprint / holding your advantage is as much defining the faster sprinter.

      I believe that without the foul play of Fiedler, Gary Neiwand would had won the second round.
      Today Fiedler would have been disqualified.

      This is why hey did not need $35,000 TRACK bikes. It's also why the outside road riders are using $20,000 TT bikes. It's clear they are now using technology as to dope less and create less scandals even though the top lists are still juiced. The reason is to keep the speeds up without the dope but this comes at a massive cost in the bike, the British team track bikes ( the frame only, no handle bars) costs $20,000 US. Total bike price is $45,000!!!!

      At the Pan Am Games in 1975, Mexico City Hosted the Track Events. The Sprint's were held under the lights, with Carl taking a commanding lead into the last turn, and the Lights go out! Again, & Again, & Again, until his Opponent was able to hold him off (have to chk & see who won?)! He was so gassed that he was beaten again in the Semis & had to settle for the Bronze. If you were to ask him, he always felt like the Gold WAS his! RIP

    Neiwand totally leaned into Fiedler coming to the line in the first round for no "good" reason. Intimidation or trying to impede Fielder's forward progress I guess that is a judgement call🤔
    Fiedler absolutely left the sprinters lane which was wasn't subjective. Did it affect the race, probably not. But technically a re-ride was in order I suppose. Neiwand's hook at the beginning of the wind up though...geez.

    Фидлеру надо было давать поражение во втором заезде. Грубо вышел из коридора и явно помешал Нейванду. Как по мне австралиец был техничнее как спринтер.
