Men’s sprint final at the 2004 Athens Olympics
Date: July 30, 2014 / Posted by Glenn Mitchell
The men’s sprint is the blue riband event at the Olympic velodrome . Up until 2004 Australia had never succeeded in winning gold. That all changed however when West Australian Ryan Bayley overcame Dutch world champion Theo Bos in the third and deciding race of the final.

Injuries are so often used as an excuse.
This season Richmond has had plenty.
Rance missed 22 games, Riewoldt 12 & Cotchin 11.
Prestia the only 2017 premiership player not to have missed a game.
And they are into the grand final.
