Olympic dream Havik and Van Schip in tatters, gold surprisingly to Portugal
Havik and Van Schip failed to make a major impact in the Olympic Madison race, where last year's world champions were unable to surprise their opponents with a late attack, leaving the gold medal to be won by the Portuguese duo Leitão and Oliveira. Despite their strong preparation and previous success, the Dutch duo had to settle for bronze in the highly competitive and unpredictable race.
