LONDON -- The fake agent sex videomen's keirin final on Tuesday night was a bit of a messy one.
The thing is -- at least for anyone who isn't familiar with the velodrome -- the event is already quite confusing. It basically involves a serious-looking Olympic official on a little electric bike (a derny) leading racers round the track for five-and-a-half laps.
SEE ALSO: 12 times British athletes were true heroes at the 2016 Olympic GamesHis pace gradually gets faster, but the racers aren't allowed to go past him until he's off the track; then, with two-and-a-half laps to go, derny man peels off and the riders overtake him and sprint to the finish.
It's a bit of an unusual event, sure, but at least nothing can go wrong if you know the rules, right?
Well, not exactly. The men's final on Tuesday was plunged into unexpected, stadium-wide befuddlement after the riders overtook the derny beforehe was completely off the track, and panicked officials had to decide whether or not to disqualify anyone.
People gathered around replay monitors. Coaches Googled the rules. For 20 minutes, there was lots of standing around.
Finally, they decided to restart the race without making any disqualifications. The riders went off, the tension mounted, and then the exact same thing happened again the second time round.

Eventually, they restarted the race again without any disqualifications, and the third time around everybody kept their distance until the derny man was safely off the track.

You may not have won a gold medal, derny man, but you certainly won the internet.
