Apparently does tons of homework on the oppo. Made a brilliant penalty stroke save during the match too. Being able to move gives her an edge over a football goalkeeper I'd imagine. Football penalties are heavily stacked in the takers favour imo.
Jimothy Posted 20 August 2016 Posted 20 August 2016 Nicola Adams retains her boxing title. Another gold to add to the tally.
Jaspa Posted 20 August 2016 Posted 20 August 2016 The Mens boxing here is being terribly Reffed. The American is going into hold the Cuban and only when they both let go the Ref goes in and tell them no holding, add to that hes allowed the American to hold the Cubans glove under his arm as he used the other one to go for the kidney/liver thats held open.
foxy boxing Posted 20 August 2016 Posted 20 August 2016 Well done Nicola Adams great defence of your Olympic title,now come on GB let's have a gold rush
Manwell Pablo Posted 20 August 2016 Posted 20 August 2016 I'm confused here. Bianca knocked out current Olympic champion in the quarters and she is world champion champion? surely they both dead certs for a medal though?
StanSP Posted 20 August 2016 Author Posted 20 August 2016 Brazil 1-0 Germany so far in the football finals. Neymara scored a lovely free-kick. Germany have hit the bar 3 times though. 35 mins played.

purpleronnie Posted 21 August 2016 Posted 21 August 2016 Mo Mo Mo Farah Running round the track If he wins another gold Make sure you clap I have just made that up and it's genius, if you disagree I'll come round your house and do a poo on your floor.
Jimothy Posted 21 August 2016 Posted 21 August 2016 So we've passed the total number of medals we won in 2012, and we're only two golds behind (with a chance of a boxing one later). And we've also met or exceeded the medal target in every sport except modern pentathlon and strangely enough rowing. Brilliant games for GB. But obviously because we weren't medal for medal, day by day, matching London then we were doing badly (even though the schedule varies so you'll never match or beat it exactly.) And obviously because some competitors weren't leading from the front in events they were meant to and eventually did win, we were also doing badly. That's right isn't it @Grewks?

Can't believe the stuff Grewks was saying and it was something like only two days in, yet at that point we were above what we were doing in London.

The fact remains, i was correct though..... Giles Scott was a 'deadcert' with a poor start - correct.

EastAnglianFox Posted 21 August 2016 Posted 21 August 2016 Are China expected to win any of the last events today?

Theyve got chances of medals ain't they I don't think they are "expected" to win a gold but if you've got athletes in and around you never know.

Manwell Pablo Posted 21 August 2016 Posted 21 August 2016 Their wrestler is out (I think it's him?) either way they've only got one athlete left competing so we've done them
