Never thought I'd see Michael Johnsons record beaten, that was sensational. Just saw this. Am really missing out by having to sleep at night! Nothing lasts forever, even MJ's record! Sensational!
Jimothy Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 Anyone see the tennis medal ceremony? Pretty sure Murray broke his little Olympic ornament thing, tried to act really cool and then stuffed it in his pocket.
lcfcben76 Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 It's a shame with athletics, I was stunned by van niekirk's run but 5 minutes later I'm wondering whether doping has caused it. Such a shame that the sport has lost any integrity
purpleronnie Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 What a day for GB. The fact we're competing with China in the Medals table is truly amazing.
Webbo Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 Apparently she's from Loughboro (edit from Burnley, must just live in Loughboro)
ScouseFox Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 prob just trains at the uni like most the athletes in the world yes more dancing horses yeeehaaa

ScouseFox Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 wow we r kings of the dressage. think the horse should be in with a shout of spoty
purpleronnie Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 I actually think its great to watch, certain grace and beauty about it...and the riders are well dressed.
Webbo Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 This boxing commentator Ronald Mackintosh is the most wooden commentator I've ever heard.
isaidno Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 drama in the cycling, surely that's Cavendish's fault
RowlattsFox Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 I'm watching this omnium without a clue what's going on.

EastAnglianFox Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 Laura Trott is in a different stratosphere to everybody else, wasn't even out of 2nd gear for that elimination race it seemed. Still looking at the crash that Cav caused, how the hell did he get away with that? He literally looked at the other cyclist and steamed straight into him.

Just seen the crash, looks so obvious that he did it on purpose. From what I've seen of him in interviews I've never really like Cavendish, comes across as a bit of a cock, so it wouldn't surprise me. Also he doesn't come across a particularly clever either.
VLC86 Posted 15 August 2016 Posted 15 August 2016 if I am reincarnated as a dressage horse you have my permission to make a lasagne out of me.

Yeah this Olympics especially he seems to be coming across very bitter and angry, he was caught on camera last night waiting to be interviewed and was heard saying something like "jesus if this was brad we'd be straight on" feels like he thinks he should have walked straight into the pursuit team.
stripeyfox Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 For those who thought we weren't going to do well, we are actually +1 medal up on the same stage at London 2012. I don't think we will surpass that but we could well beat Beijing. We've come a long way - I am plenty old enough to remember the worst Olympics of modern times (for lots of reasons) in Atlanta when we won only 1 gold (Redgrave) and only 7 or 8 medals in total. I'm not a fan (normally) of anything to do with horses but the dressage was brilliant. I think the showjumping is still to come - we had a "jump off" to take gold in London and it was one of the most heart stopping moments of the entire London games.

foxy boxing Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 great ride by cavendish for the silver medal in the omnium finally getting the olympic medic he craved, so pleased for him and well justified leaving the tour de france early to concentrate on the olympics. really pleased for him
Jattdogg Posted 16 August 2016 Posted 16 August 2016 Anyone see the womens 400 last night. Winner basically dove across the line to win...if you havent seen it, watch it. I know ots technically legal but feel like its almost cheating in a way. Im not athletics rules buff so maybe thats why i feel that way. Im sure you can find a better link or maybe its up on the olympics site
