James Kenny (GBR) wins gold in the men's track cycling sprint in the Velodrome at the London 2012 Olympic Games (6 August 2012).
Gregory Bauge (FRA) won the silver medal in the event in the race contested in a best of 3 series.
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.

I went to the same school as Jason & was friends with his brother Craig. That’s the closes i’ve come to winning Olympic Gold.

@ppeter1982 2 года назад

I think you can claim that as another gold for Team GB.

@Moggy471 Год назад

Closer than me mate.

@2charliep 11 лет назад

Kenny's win over Bauge, was my personal highlight of the whole games.

@bodsnvimto 10 лет назад

7:55 "The boy from Bolton cries". This 50 year old had tears welling up almost two years later, just watching that. Though I don't think our funding of the Olympics has been used right by politicians, the Super Saturday athletics & much of the velodrome briefly seemed to make it worthwhile.

@x3sianilia3x 11 лет назад

I was always looking forward to Kenny v Bauge, especially after the world championships. This was excellent to watch, could not stop screaming at the tv!

@goathead3579 3 года назад

@bodsnvimto 3 года назад

Rounder than the rest, eh? I loved that one, mostly because some sniffy better-than-thou cycling idiots on the continent bought it good and proper. Thanks for the memory.

@oporciuncula 11 лет назад

These two are the best sprint riders in the world.

@Daz555Daz 2 года назад

Sir Chris might have disagreed at the time!

@james1071 11 лет назад

The tactics are all to do with wind resistance. If they ride fast from the start, the second rider will get a much easier ride and be able to sprint past at the end. They ride slowly because they are trying to force the other to lead. The rider at the front will be looking back to watch for a surprise move.

@joshimuddin1483 2 года назад

Ive always wondered the tactics of this race

@tomallcock3185 2 года назад

I think I heard Chris Hoy say recently that you use approximately 30% more energy if on the front.

@Luca33600 2 года назад

And, more important, he won Laura's heart

@MultiEMAIA 7 лет назад

very good race

@sssamcz 11 лет назад

I think he was giving his all, just that because Kenny was on his shoulder round that last bend he had more speed coming in to the straight.

@dickyudha1992 10 лет назад

that's great

@retroboydeccles 10 лет назад

Unbelievable how fast they go

@paulcasey4282 5 лет назад

The reason they start so slow is because if you start racing fast and the other person is in your slipstream they will use 80% less energy and overtake easily later on

@ynotnilknarf39 5 лет назад

only IF the rider behind reacts quick enough to a quick start. Kenny did this to Bauge some years ago and caught him out, it was only because Kenny moved out from his line right on the last bend did Bauge get the win. it's a useful tactic if you're wanting to keep the bigger, more powerful sprinters honest and your opponent guessing.

@Newrangetank 4 года назад

No where near 80% less energy 😂

@justw4lkbesideme 4 года назад

80% ?? Wow is that true?

@adrian.m258 4 года назад

@@justw4lkbesideme More like 30 % which is still enough though.

@sugiartokahar938 2 года назад

Its like 30%, but if we talking about olimpic, that is much... You will have 80% chances to lose if you sprint from the begining

@militarymelon8568 4 года назад

Haven’t a clue what is going on, I swear team pursuit makes more sense

@englandcalling9721 4 года назад

Best of three races, taking it in turns to lead off first. The two cyclists jockey for best ‘race’ position for two laps, then when the bell goes they have one final lap to race to the finish. It’s usually easier to come from behind as you can slipstream then ‘out-jump’ your opponent (as Kenny did in race one). That’s why they start really slowly to try and force their opponent to the front.

@MaximilianKohler 10 лет назад

That's cute of them to cuddle like that in the beginning.

Im new to the sprinting bicycling, why do they go i circles slowly before hand, and why does he keep looking back?

@AJ-sw8pm 4 года назад

Cat and mouse if the front rider took off the rider behind could slipstream and use less energy and overtake whenever he wants

@muddlepond 2 года назад

Why did no one tell the commentator that his mike wasn't loud enough? I struggled to hear what he was saying.

@ado4224 3 года назад

What's the purpose of going on top of the track?

@isaacrosenthal3290 3 года назад

When you come down you go fast from going down the slope and also it longer there when going slow takes more time

@Daz555Daz 2 года назад

Store gravitational potential energy by being high on the track, then turn that energy into speed as you dart down to the bottom.

@hiranom20 Год назад

Gravity drop

@AyeRight85 9 лет назад

kenny goes onto the blue surface twice in race 2. is that allowed? can't believe this was 3 years ago :(

@safarektal8380 8 лет назад

It is allowed on the straights and if it is not consistant.

@oggybennett7764 11 лет назад

hoy v kenny glasgow 2014 commenwealth games.........if hoys not past it by then.

@sagajagan 11 лет назад

Is it me or did Bauge give up too early in the first sprint? It looked as though he might have one if he had kept pushing to the line...

@Dazpez76 8 лет назад

+Bezourx You have to complete 3 laps..... And it's not about time... Therefore it's like playing cat n mouse (mind game etc) who s Gona start racing first!!!!!! They don't actually wind it up until the last of 3 laps... Because your legs would not take it

@fishdisher9564 8 лет назад

ok good to know

@chrisjpainter 7 лет назад

Kenny has tried a flying three laps before and did win the heat - but then was relegated for slipping out of the sprint lane. It's hard work and you can only succeed if you lead off and catch your opponent completely cold. Kenny's ability to ride two laps without look ahead once - amazing!

@mrkeefor 6 лет назад

Chris Painter I saw that a while back and it was against the same guy. I think its a once in a lifetime tactic though.

@fhahqubd 8 лет назад

why the time lapping start lately?

@xfosda 8 лет назад

It's the final 200m that are timed.

@SuperMagnum83 8 лет назад

A lap is 250 m, the timer in the sprint always starts with 200m left to go, that's just how it is.

@zaedharhara1400 8 лет назад

Why do they start off slow ? why does the person ahead keep looking at his opponent? why why why

@Redaptofficial 8 лет назад

+Zaed Harhara saving their energy to sprint / waiting until he/she makes a move

@mttmike 8 лет назад

+Zaed Harhara Have u been racing in a sprint on track? if u start off all your energy, u prob can't finish with your full speed, then u get tired after halfway. so u start off slow then builds up and find the perfect opportunity to over take and explode your full power thats why lol

@nico3444 8 лет назад

+michael' "explode your full power" that's a good one

@meldeebueno 8 лет назад

+michael' Why can't just start fast like foot sprints. You do that saving the energy thing for distance races, this is just a sprint, right?

@safarektal8380 8 лет назад

+Rolan Reynacido, because the speed in cycling is much higher than in running the rider sitting behind saves a lot of energy because the rider in front of him is breaking the air. If they just went out full hammer from the start the rider behind will have a huge advantage. Because of this it becomes a tactical race. In running every runner has his one lane so nobody can have an advantage of drafting. In longer runs it also starts to become a bit tactical but nit as much as in cycling.very different from running. The rider behind saves roughly 30-35 % energy. This means that if the rider in front is cycling with 1000 watts which is possible over a shorter distance the rider behind only has to use 650-700 watts to keep up. As soon as he gets out of the slipstream he will also have to pedal with 1000 watts to maintain some speed.

@felixg4785 8 лет назад

Hal Wright But that was Hoy, who always beat Kenny, even when he was 36. I am pretty sure Callum Skinner will be able to beat Kenny next time.

@Daz555Daz 2 года назад

Well Callum is retired and Kenny just won his 7th Olympic Gold! What a legend!
