Cyc: Bayley takes gold in sprint =2

Bayley said the gold medal win was unimaginable.

"I don't how to describe it really," Bayley said.

"It's been a lot of years, trying to dream of going to the Olympics for starters. To
be here was absolutely unbelievable, to see the crowd and the support was unbelievable.

And to win is, I just have no idea, it's something you can't describe, can't imagine."

After the first race, he feared a repeat of the world championships semi-final in Melbourne
in May when Bos beat him in three races.

"I got off my bike, got very aggro, got very pissed off, which for Theo is bad news,
when I get pissed off I get really fast," he said.

"I just got on the track and wanted to nail every single pedal. At the line I threw
the bike, front wheel went off the ground, unbelievable.

"I went just across the line in that last one. My head just stopped, I didn't know
what was going through my head in that last one."
