Anna was fantastic in her defeat of fierce arch rival Victoria Pendleton in the Women's Sprint.
This rivalry had been seriously hyped in the lead up to London. I am sure everyone is aware of the ongoing rivalry between these two girls! You only need to google them to see some of the banter that has gone on.
After a disappointing finish to the Keirin, it was great to see Anna come out and ride so brilliantly. Her manoeuvre at the top of the velodrome was sensational!! If you haven't seen the race - youtube it! I'm sure it's around somewhere!!
Congratulations Anna.
Sally Pearson. What can you say about Sally? She is seriously amazing!! In the last 35 starts she has only been beaten once!! Once in 35 races!! Having been so dominant over such a large period of time, it would have been absolutely heartbreaking to falter at the final hurdle. (See what I did there!! haha).
Luckily for her, and for all of us riding the journey at home, she didn't!!
She won by 0.02 over the reigning Olympic champion Dawn Harper of the USA. Her reaction to the win was priceless. It seemed to take an eternity for the official results to be shown, but when they finally did, her reaction was beautiful!
Congratulations Sally!
Let's see if we can add a few more gold to the tally before the Olympics are over!!
xx love Breanna
