It’s time to bury the Kolkata follow-on myth

Congratulations to the three-day eventing team on winning silver … in his EIGHTH Olympics Andrew Hoy now has gold from Barcelona & Atlanta, gold and silver from Sydney and silver from #TokyoOlympics2020 👏
That is a bloody gutsy effort … face planting at 60km/h when your handlebars snap in the qualifying round of the 4000m team pursuit … and remounting less than half an hour later and having another go … hats off Alex Porter 👏 🇦🇺 🚴♂️ #Tokyo2020
Blimey!
Alex Porter’s handlebars snapped and he crashed to the track in qualifying for the men’s 4000m team pursuit. Freakish.
They’ll get a chance to ride again later in the program tonight.
Will take some psychological strength for him to regroup.
😳 🚴🏻 #tokyo2020
I truly get sick & tired of people who call Olympic athletes & teams who don’t live up to their preconceived expectations “chokers” … get off your arse and put your hand up and train for years if you think you can do better. Otherwise, shut up.
Heartbreak for the @Hockeyroos … unbeaten having conceded just one goal to top their pool undefeated … losing 1-0 to the 4th-placed India in the other pool in the quarterfinals after IND scored in 22nd minute … just India’s 5th win v AUS in 42 matches 🏑 #Tokyo2020
