Alf Hartigan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 finishing 3rd int table? very possible with the Russkies underperforming, France surprising, but their Gold opportunities will soon dry up. Boxing could be the difference for us. Also think we will get more than the 1 targetted Gold in track and field, which is where the Russians will start clicking into gear. Quote

bolty58 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Hands up who couldn't give a Fuck about the Olympics in Jan and is now all over it like a tramp on chips? Me for 1, guessing most commenting now too. Be honest. I can trump that matey. Cheering for 'our' Andy Quote

bolty58 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Still don't like him. May this be the only time he wins at Wimbledon. Like being in the trenches with a DMB at your shoulder, facing a common enemy. Sometimes, old enmities have to be (temporarily) put aside for the greater good. More than anything, I want us to finish ahead of the Aussies in the medal table. Preferably, a long way ahead!!! Quote
Sweep Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Will West Ham fill this stadium, it's massive, will they add more seats in place of the running track? What the fuck has that got to do with anything? Quote

maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) 25 golds today, and I can think of at least 5 we're favourites in. Edit - upon further review, make that 6. Edited August 4, 2012 by maaarsh Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Domestique plan seems to have backfired - specialist swimmer has dropped our own leader in the swim; hopefully it all comes back together on the bike. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Looking better now, 26 seconds back in a smallish pack with a teammate waiting up the road and several run specialists dropped. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Nervy first jump from Ennis, needs something much better next time or its going to be very very jittery on the last one. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Ennis an absolutely crazy price on betfair. 1.25. If her and Chernova equal PBs from here to the end, Ennis wins by 1 or 2 seconds worth of 800m points. And in the long jump so far Chernova is going much better than Jess. Quote
bolty58 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I'm going to keep this little clip I think.... You should. Trust me - it will be a fecking rarity! Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Oh well, that's the first of 6 favourites down. Decent effort but never looked the strongest. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Thank fuck for that. Ennis gets a proper jump on the board. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Incidentally, I suggest Hazel fans get their fill as I suspect she'll be losing funding and told to get a real job after this. So far off the pace it's unreal - pub standard compared to the serious competitors - small so she can't throw, but not quick either. Quote
MalcolmW Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Thank fuck for that. Ennis gets a proper jump on the board. Typical BBC coverage - straight after Ennis's 6.40 jump they go to the studio for comment. But next to jump was the second Briton (KJT) who recently won the world junior long jump with 6.81 wind assisted. Quote

Straight to the studio for clueless commentary from Denise whilst Michael sits their wondering what he's done to deserve such nonsense. Until Chernova has taken her last jump and hasn't gone 6.80 as she has before, this is very much not over, because she'll take 200 points in the javelin if ennis is put under pressure. Quote
