Women's BMX race (Final) London Olympics

The start list (final) of the Women BMX race in London Olympics was:
1 Great Britain Shanaze READE
2 France Laetitia le CORGUILLE
3 Australia Caroline BUCHANAN
4 Columbia Mariana PAJON
5 France Magalie POTTIER
6 New Zealand Sarah WALKER
7 USA Brooke CRAIN
8 The Netherlands Laura SMULDERS

By judging the colours of the track suits, you can easily trace the order of the athletes during the race. Well in this race, M. Pajon took the lead all the way and became the champion. S. Walker came second and L. Smulders third.

The winners of Gold, Silver and Bronze by countries were Columbia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. I find these lady medalists particularly very young and beautiful and am greatly impressed by their courage, strength and skill in the race.
