They were in lap 2 of the 40k bike part when the station cut out for a news break.

I don't know what channel it would be on in the USA. NBC has track and field on here. But it's on CBC Canada, which you can watch live at this link:

Wow! That was amazing and so exciting! We ended up getting the Silver, but it was soooo close! I was sitting here with my fingers crossed and yelling at the TV cheering Simon Whitfield on!
Second place isn't bad for a 33 year old!

That was a great race!!! I was watching it live online. Simon Whitfield is a great competitor! Age isn't really that important in triathlon - you have plenty of top athletes in their 30's. Ironman triathlon which is the ultimate has people in their 80's still doing it!

I looked at the women's winning time - 1:58. For comparison, my best time over the same distance was 2:58 - 1 hour behind.
