If the offender was an Asian rider, there would have been an uproar
He already had a warning, it’s flabbergasting he got away with it. But then, he’s from the UK.
Hmmm i thought it was an accodent, was glad they restarted. But watched it now a few times in the replay, it reallt doesn't look like an accident.
Anyone seen interviews of them after the race about this? What did they say?
That's not a controversial bronze, that's a disgraceful bronze. Not getting DQ'd is a joke.
Yeah he definitely did it on purpose. He did similar thing against Ota
The reporters calling it ''not intentional'' is a joke! He looked right at him, he knew he was right there!! DQ all day long!
Britain to the soapbox for unsportsmanlike behavior
UK getting away with stuff like this? Yeah what's new
Hey 2 x yellow = bronze…. only for UK
There are just certain sports where Britons are at such an advantage, for just being British. I dont have anything against the athletes, they all give it their all to perform at the races, however the British bias is getting real old and probably wont change anytime soon.
Congratulations! 🇬🇧
Proper cycling
Disgraceful medal
This was in no way an accident, or "not intentional" as the British commentators called it. He looked Hoogland straight in the eye and turned into him. How can a rider be on a warning already, nearly take someone down and not be disqualified? Probably one of the worst calls in sports I've ever seen.
The commentators trying to justify it by saying the crowd wants to see a race. They want a fair race, which this wasn't. In an interview with Dutch tv, Roy van den Berg mentioned that Carlin left the sprinters lane. Van den Berg was in the team spring that won gold.
Makes me think of crybaby cavendish after blatantly crashing a korean guy out of the tournament (Omnium 2016 Rio) and picking up a silver medal afterwards. British use weird metrics for sportsmanship.
He admits it here it was his fault. https://youtu.be/Ea3My25PA1g?si=KBQEFiYMz3oHDCFm
Its an Olympic medal , race for the medal, evidently the dutch didn't fancy there chances.
What an absolute disgrace, how can you as UK commentators take pride in such hollow 'victory'. Shameful and no honor whatsoever.
A disgrace for track cycling, not only the crash into Hoogland. But he also came above the red line against the Japanese, only getting a warning and he still advanced. Then he crashed into the Dutch he got nothing, then he came above the red line again and he got nothing!
Already had a yellow card. Should be banned
Are this the same biased commentators as in F1 ?
they restarted the round and it was won fair and square… nothing major happened people just wanna cry about the Brits
how he held on was by swerving into Hooglands lane and destabilizing him, the Brit should have been DQed twice, instead got bronze.
DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR !
This was utter BS. The Brit clearly did that on purpose. With that kind of disgusting and aggressive behavior, he should have been disqualified immediately. However, the biased judges will always find a way or an excuse to reward this kind of appalling conduct just because that culprit is a Brit. That's called favoritism, preferential treatment and discrimination, which is unfair and doesn't belong in a fair play. No respect at all for these bunch of hypocrites and liars. Go and celebrate that shameful and unworthy bronze medal and hopefully it will buy you some decency.
a disgrace what happened in this race ! the worst referees in the olympics hand over the bronze medal to jack carling .be ashamed ! carlin knows he ddint deserve this .Bah England why always this help in sports .
He also went clearly out of his sprint lane in the last lap. This clip doesn’t show it because it’s during the shot from his bike. That one was even more clear cut because that rule is black and white. You just can’t do that in a sprint.
Not on purpose, Eurosport kids? When this was not on porpose, nothing is on purpose, kids. Europsort commentators are a shame for humanity.
Can a commentator be more biased…???
