I have one neighbour shouts across every time he sees me "Still kicking your arses" etc. No competition for overall medals but need some velodrome golds etc. over the last 4 days to shut the fucker up! If we do, I'll get the union flag draped over the balcony rail and lob a trifle at him. Remind your neighbour GB have finished above Australia in the last 4 Summer Olympics. ( I assume that probably covers the winter olympics too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DazBob Posted August 8 Members Share Posted August 8 Was in the pub when the Bolton girl was boxing. There was no sound on the TVs. Did I hallucinate or was there a bloke with no arms giving a review of the fight afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 9 Site Supporter Share Posted August 9 Right, just checked. From what I saw initially, I thought there was a third part to the event. Seems not, but to get 1st and 5th is pretty damned good. Another one to get towards the Aussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some where the septic had the lead after the "lead" but our chap had done very well on that particular event. No it was another 19yo lad called Toby something who climbed a bit later. He was like a rat up a drainpipe and almost made the very top - but went into the lead. Final climb was by a 17 year old Japanese lad who was well in control but inexplicably slipped just an arm's length from winning it. British lad took a while to realise he'd actually got gold. Hamish wound up 5th. Incredible viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a continuous part of the Summer Olympics since 1912, and a world championship has been held annually since 1949. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
