The British cyclist Mark Cavendish looks twice behind him and then, what I can only describe as a malicious and intentional act, body slams into the Korean rider causing the Korean rider to be hospitalized on a stretcher. This also caused a chain reaction that crashed out other cyclists.

This is despicable and the Brit should be thrown out of the event.

And how did that make you feel?

0/10

Wow. Surely he will be DQ'd for that.

Behavior like this is why America ceceded.

That's bizarre. What on earth was he thinking?

That's not certain if the Brits pay the right money to the right people from the right British Cycling bank account.

What a thug. Road out. Looked at the other rider. Positioned himself. Then slammed into him. Cavendish needs to get the krap beat out of him for that stupidity, and banned from the sport permanently.

It's good isn't it?

Maybe the US should think about that too and they might win something in an event that's not swimming.

It made me more outraged than watching that other smug Brit, Bradley Wiggins.

That's good. Are you watching Laura Trott now?

I might not if I were you, it might be quite upsetting for you.

The stupidity on here simply amazes me.

Medal Count

country gold silver bronze total

United States 26 22 24 72

Great Britain 16 16 8 40

China 15 14 17 46

Russia 10 12 11 33

Germany 8 6 6 20

If someone did that to me or caused me to crash out like that I make sure to accidently throw my bike across his face as he rides by.

I think he'll get his just reward. After all, he hit an Italian, and that guy looked pissed. Revenge comes swift and in the night! God may save the Queen, but not Cavendish.

At the end of each effort riders go high up the track to rest and get an advantage using the banking. If you decide to roll up the track at the exit of a bend on the inside of someone who is re-entering the race this will happen.

I hope the Korean rider is ok, but track cycling is tough.

Notice I said 'without swimming'.

The million medals on offer there guarantee the USA top spot.

Stupid people like you don't watch the video. Your lame-arse hero looked over twice at the other rider, AND THEN INTENTIONALLY SLAMMED INTO HIM. It was not accidental.

In reality is was looking at riders further down the banking, and swung down as somebody else was making a move.

It was a bit rash, but it wasn't an intentional move to hit the Korean.

It's not really an American style sport, bit too tough. (notice the American rider getting too tired and stopping?)

No one cares about women cycling, to be frank.

But all the British cyclists are so obviously dirty it makes an East German athlete blush.

unbelievable biased writing here:

"Viviani, who went into the final race in first place, started strongly but was knocked off his bike by South Korea’s Park Sang-hoon, who had collided with Cavendish"
