Lowensda Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thats disgusting. Not that they're already decent enough, they want to cheat to progress. And they wonder why someone called China 'Cheats' yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Wiggins wins, one more Gold for the Team GB team. Froome came third too meaning that we have a Bronze. The win today means that Wiggins is the most successful athlete ever in the Olympic games for us with 7 medals even though Redgrave is still officially the 'Number 1' because he has won more gold. They did say however that Chris Hoy can move to the top tomorrow should he win gold in the Indoor Cycling Event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Ok lads, brace yourself. I've been tipped off, on an athlete who will be competing in the upcoming field events. Her name is Leryn Franco and she compete in the womens Javelin.

MikeO Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Those badminton players have been disqualified (and rightly so). Same thing should have happened at the '82 World Cup.....was a disgrace... http://www.guardian....rld-cup-algeria '...there was outrage in Wst Germany and Austria too. Eberhard Stanjek, commentating for the German channel ARD, almost sobbed during the match as he lamented: "What is happening here is disgraceful and has nothing to do with football. You can say what you like, but not every end justifies the means." The Austrian commentator, meanwhile, told viewers to turn off their sets and refused to speak for the last half-hour. Former West German international Willi Schulz branded the German players "gangsters".' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Looks like between us and China on the leaderboard, but still ample time for anything to change. I wish I could be more enthusiastic about Olympic Games now but simply lost interest years ago, this country has done very well so far, fifteen gold medals is quite impressive, the guys have done a good job for sure. Spain may be the best side in the world for football but #36 in the medal table (no Gold), dictates they simply can't always have it their own way on the world stage.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Surely Federer isn't taking this as seriously as before. The Olympic Tennis event simply pales into insignificance with regards to Wimbledon or the French or US open. Murray seems determined on a bit of revenge after last months Final, wants it more, and the level of motivation that Federer has for this Oylmpic event simply isn't as apparent as usual. I don't know much about Tennis but that's how it comes across. Good for Murray though, the kid seems more up for it, and will bring another medal home it seems.

MikeO Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 You'd have thought that in 2012 there'd be a better way of attaching a number to a shirt than safety pins . And a better "expert" than Colin Jackson.... "no looking backwards or forwards ..." (woman in the final straight of the 400m hurdles).

Dalziel Kane Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Was out last night and took a radio and all you could hear on different stations was damn Olympics. Got so irritated I just settled for a business discussion in French. Good for Murray really, pleased for the kid even, but Federer won the Tennis championships a few weeks ago, so won't be too disappointed, he's got enough medals and awards. Not all that interested, but heard several mentions of Bolt breaking a new record as fastest man on earth, nine something seconds. You don't normally associate Jamaicans with acceleration.

Only when they're pumped full of drugs.... or if theres a family bucket of KFC at the end.... In all seriousness, I cant think of a country that would be considered the stereotypical "best accelerating" country. Only stereotypes from all the sports I can think of would be Kenya for the long distance running and any of several Eastern Europe women called Holga for the shot-put. I wasnt having a go, im generally curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
