Damn, there goes the next half hour

[RaG]Ethel · 07-Aug-2012, 13:28

Dammit, peaked at 11.3s :/

eek · 07-Aug-2012, 14:34

Great tri there!

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 17:23

What must all the other teams think about GB cyclists?! French apparently wondering if they're using the same wheels, lol!
Another gold!

The French media are apparently swaying between confusion and hatred atm, and Chris Hoy's still got another run, hasn't he?

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 17:33

Yep, Hoy on later. Pendleton just grabbed 1st race by 0.001 sec...
That was some crazy photo finish.

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 17:37

Fucksticks... She got relegated on that first heat :/

Fulmineus · 07-Aug-2012, 17:37

So you're allowed to elbow the fuck out of someone?

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 17:50

Gah! No gold

eek · 07-Aug-2012, 18:01

That's a shame. I think she was just done with it after being relegated.

Fulmineus · 07-Aug-2012, 18:06

Haha, let him think he was going to pass him and then ram it up another couple of gears!

BBW · 07-Aug-2012, 18:06

Fair play the British can ride fucking bikes. Jesus! Chris Hoy!

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 18:14

Epic!

[n00b]Zippy · 07-Aug-2012, 18:40

I just hate these blatant cheats, though. In that race there was clearly someone on a motorbike, just glad he ended up going off the track, enabling Hoy to win. Should be strung up from that metal monstrosity in the Olympic Park!

Hapless · 07-Aug-2012, 20:54

Yeah that pace bike looks ridiculous. The chap riding it should be wearing a top hat, or maybe a beret, hooped jersey and a string of onions to keep the fucking french happy.

Blood God · 07-Aug-2012, 21:03

Another bronze - high jump this time. That breaks the Beijing total, and we're still guaranteed another five medals across boxing and sailing.

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 21:32

That's a pretty good medal haul so far (also when compared to China and USA with their much larger pool of athletes to choose from).

GroovYF · 07-Aug-2012, 21:59

Hoy's just made a good point regarding the rule change (only one team's athlete per event) after the Beijing whitewash by GB yet we've still managed to muller them all again, and how weird it'd be if that same rule was brought in to other sports.
I'd heard of the rule change only on the first day of the velodrome, and just thought it was sour grapes on behalf of others after Beijing.

Eja Cool8 · 08-Aug-2012, 15:09

Note to the City of Edinburgh Council;

Get the bloody statue up, and that swanky new sports centre & stadium you're building out on the west side? You know who to name it after.

Fuggin right! Third spot's ours now, the South Koreans won't catch us.

Great Olympians per capita? The populations, off the top off my head, are what? China 1.1 billion? USA 300-odd million? We're around the 63 million mark?

GIRFUY WORLD

First spot you mean. USA and China don't count.

If we're going for medals per capita, we should ignore Grenada as they dicked over everyone on that one.

"Hello... OW!!!"... I'm sure it hurt, but made me chuckle:

Fake tweet. Google is your friend.

Not fake so much as misattributed. Hits the mark though.

Duffeh · 09-Aug-2012, 16:07

Gold and Bronze in the dressage, 23 gold and 50 medals in total so far, amazing performance from everyone involved and still more to come.

Eja Cool8 · 09-Aug-2012, 16:17

Remember Atlanta? What a difference 16 years makes..

Duffeh · 09-Aug-2012, 16:43

Now the first ever Womens Olympic Boxing Gold.
