Australia’s Anna Meares (L) and Britain’s Victoria Pendleton (R) cross the finish line head to head in the London 2012 Olympic Games women’s sprint final, race 1, cycling event at the Velodrome in the Olympic Park in East London on August 7, 2012. (via Photo from Getty Images)
The finish to that fantastic Meares / Pendleton race.
This is probably the closest race I have ever seen. Separated by 0.001 seconds.
Female track cycling’s greatest rivalry ends with a typically hard fought battle and over the Olympics, honours even....
such a shame Victoria crossed that red line though.
