Very good indeed considering the amount of work she did in the road race.

Her comment that everything hurts in a time trial so a few bruises wouldn't
matter was a good one and true for her. Perhaps Hamilton should have
crashed as well.

Am I the only one who picked her for the TT?

Yes, that's the way to do it Leontien. She got guts. You get up, brush
yourself off and get back on the bike. Well, she didn't quite do in time in
the Road Race, but this is the one that matters for her. Now show the world
what you are made of in the track events Lizzy! One gold is great, and the
TT is huge! She will go out on top just the way she wanted! Crashing in the
RR adds spice to the whole thing in a way, because that wasn't her target
anyway, she was riding for Milkers.

Good show, you go girl!

As per our prior discussions on this subject: 32 of the 37 men finishers had
lower times than the Gold Medal in the Women's TT and they were only at half
distance for them.

Heres the translation with errors from LZ's site.

Gold for Leontien! Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel has furnished the
Netherlands the first golden medal. Of Moorsel prolongeerde her olympic
title on the time trial. She let her largest competitors, the German Arndt
and the Russian Zabirova far behind self. Zijlaard drove the 24 kilometers
in 31 minutes and 11.53 seconds. The American Deirdre Demet won the silver
in 31.35,62, the Swiss Karin Thuerig the bronze in 31.54,89. Mirjam
Melchers became thirteenth.

She had never had been more ago, never the pain so dominant. But Leontien
Zijlaard-Van Moorsel was Wednesday in Athens through nothing and nobody of
gold in the time trial off to hold. Her fourth olympic title meant a
fitting parting for the queen of the women bicycle racing.

The uncertainty had struck came up then after ten kilometers a not too hard
headache. She thought of her failed wegrace, that Sunday ended on the
asphalt after a fall. ÇMaar perhaps came that koppijn also well because I
for it chosen had no bidon with to take and too little had drunk. I wanted
to see to me. Thought: immediately there something cracks in my head. ç

Of Moorsel however a haste own on-Dutch mentality. She rams must as it
through pain border off. On hunt to a hallow target. A medal wanted they
get in Athens, but who her good knows, know that they certainly in the time
trial not with less pleasure would take then gold. Certainly after the
failed act from Sunday, that her almost a dramatic parting of the
wielersport had yielded. ÇJe thinks of all that times that you that col in
the Sierra Nevada are driven up, at everything you for it let have, at the
feeding which you the whole year on have gelet, at everything that you
yourself denied have already that years. ç Sunday evening was it yet a large
treurnis been. ÇDe darkest page from her loopbaanç, meant father Van
Moorsel, that together with its woman in a next car behind 'Tinus collided
with was,'. ÇIk had tuesday evening then I they at the telephone had the
feeling gotten that it well well sat. I ride all my lungs from my body, had
said they. ç

Of Moorsel yet a time her body decided had to afflict. Ç Topsport is not
sometimes healthy, that is prevent me geblekenç, laughed she afterwards.
The day was not so cheerful begun. çIk was morose, that has Michael
conscience. ç

But Michael Zijlaard, her man, knows the showers of its woman already
longer. Ç I wanted to do nothing good, yesterday already not. If I a towel
somewhere put down was it not good. Moved I 'm, was not it again good. I
must that thing almost eat up. ç Only Zijlaard knew out experience that it
well good drunkenly with its woman. ÇVanochtend began they yet over the
material, had to ride they suddenly on her reserve bicycle. We have but
exchanged a wheel Leontien a little bit safely to put. ç

That uncertainty has had Van Moorsel always. ÇIk am not says someone that:

Of Moorsel was halfweg the fastest and loved her on that moment conquered

The Swiss Karin Thuerig took on 43 seconds the bronze. Mirjam Melchers

They sound like that after spending a few hours in an Amsterdam coffee
shop.

Actually I find it much easier to understand Dutch (Hollands for Ewoud)
than Flemish as the Flemish speakers seem to speak rather fast.

Yes (vier = 4)

Correction, you find some Dutchmen easier to understand than some
Flemings. West-Flemish sounds nothing like Flemish Limburgs. And
Limburgs is slooooow. 🙂
