This French bird in the judo is very tasty

The funniest moment I'vee seen so far was some numpty interviewing Cav some time after the finish of the road race.

The interviewer said something like "Do you think it was just too soon after the Tour de France?".

Cav stared at him in utter disbelief and said "You don't know anything about cycling, do you?" and walked off.

Sums up the coverage really - most of these BBC types don't even know the sports they specialise in very well. Stick them elsewhere and they're hopeless.

 

As for newspaper coverage of cycling; clueless. Cav was odds against on Saturday, and then gets slaughtered for not winning.

They really should get John McDonald to do the medal announcing.

 

And Jim White to do the studio stuff.

 

and philip schofield out and about talking to athletes?

Getting well in to the sailing - my flatmate did a 4 day race to the far side of Ireland and back in May so has been providing expert commentary - and at least they have regular turns to make it clear who's winning.

Although that may have been case and the reporter was out of his depth, I doubt there was any need for Cavendish to act like a cnut about it.

Bit of Cross-Country. Love this.

 

Now that I couldn't watch. There's a fell runner in it from Orridge ghetto isn't there? 36 or some other really ancient age.

 

Called Stuart, I think.

she did well to get 3rd, the 800m is the event we should be expecting her to get gold in

 

she did, more so when you consider her bronze medal 2012 time was 0.21 seconds faster then her gold medal 2008 time!

 

also, despite the obvious, the womens beach volleyball was a good watch yesterday

Christ that Zoe Smith looks a strong lass.

Smith leading in the weightlifting!!

 

I'm not watching, but seeing as the best lifers start last, more or less everyone should be in the lead at the end of their series.

Is that a nautical term ?

The best of them start this afternoon. She's finished second in her group which means she should be good for a top 10 finish which is brilliant considering she's only 18. Plus she's got a new British record. Well done to her!

Is her snatch any good?
