Baugé leads press conference following sprint defeat

Post-event interviews are routine affairs at the Olympic Games. The athletes are shepherded from paddock to paddock as they answer numerous questions - although usually the same ones - before a mass-press conference is held after the medal ceremonies. The athletes enter, the press ask their questions, the riders leave, and journalists scuttle back to their laptops as they attempt to meet deadlines. It's a tried and tested formula.
