Victoria Pendleton's semi-final was somewhat "straight-forward" in comparison to the semi Australian Anna Meares had to come through.
Meares Chinese opponent Guo Shuang, was tipped to face Pendleton in the final, but after falling off her bicycle, causing a restart Guo won the third leg only to be disqualified for having been judged as to impede Meares along the back straight, a truly dramatic semi-final.
