📺 Re-live ALL the incredible #Paris2024 action: ➡️ oly.ch/P24Replays
Disaster struck for Canada's Sarah Renner in the middle of the team sprint final at Torino 2006 when her pole snapped in half. However, Norwegian coach Bjørnar Håkensmoen quickly handed Renner his team's spare pole, allowing her to continue the race and eventually win a silver medal with teammate Beckie Scott!
“The Olympic spirit is the way we try to follow” Håkensmoen said later. "If you win but don’t help somebody when you should... what win is that?”
