The Olympic Games

[maaarsh]

8-6?

 

The chinese lad didn't throw 6 punches.

[KP]

Got him on his arse, beautiful

 

How that 2nd round finished 8-6 is beyond me.

[Alf Hartigan]

judging in this tournament has been poor.

 

saying that, it's no worse than the pro game at times.

chinese girl swimmer said she was disgusted at being called a cheat by the american coach, che tin twat said (i have never taken any drugs in my life)

Big morning in the Omnium.

 

Trott needs to limit losses in the IP and then mark the American & Aussies out of the scratch race.

[maaarsh]

Decent ride - sadly Margin means Hammer gets the tie breaker if the're equal.

 

But Laura should beat her in the last 2; just needs to avoid any silly business in the scratch race.

[Alf Hartigan]

Come on Brownlee's, let's have a Gold and Silver here.

[maaarsh]

Lucky they're so much better.

 

Always makes me nervous the amount of work they do on the bike for little ostensible benefit, but it doesn't often cost them on the run.

[maaarsh]

Foreign judges bitter at British success giving Jonny a penalty. Ahem.

 

 

On that topic however, I wonder what the UCI will do this time in the cycling. We won 7 last time so they fiddled the rules to stop us.

 

Now on course for 8 this time, and only a stupid penalty and the men's omnium are stopped a clean sweep.

[maaarsh]

15 second penalty, but checking the last 3 results, Jonny normally has that margin on the run over everyone who isn't in his family.

[maaarsh]

Clueless commentator talking like its all over for Jonny.

 

Really disgusts me these idiots make a living commentating on sport, and can't do the basic research to know a thing about it. So many sports the BBC commentators are just terrible.

[maaarsh]

Alistair repeats his attack from the test event

[maaarsh]

Early 2 second gap from transition - time to pile it on hard and keep that.

[maaarsh]

Bloody Spanish tagging along. 3 horse race now.

[maaarsh]

Taken the 15 seconds back on the first lap over 4th place.

[Guest Frandsen08]

what was he penalised for?

 

edit - Nevermind.

Alistair's gapping him.

 

If he can avoid a 2010 collapse he's done it.

[Boby Brno]

Just framing the 1st Olympic stamp set, Bradley Wiggins for a customer. I'm planning on framing the full set. It's going to be a big frame!

[maaarsh]

Think Jonny has suffered mentally from the penalty - slightly out run the Spaniard most of the time this year, but still a great result for an Olympic debut.

[maaarsh]

1st and 3rd; not bad for Yorkshire scum.

[maaarsh]

1:46 is a fucking sharp time.

 

29 flat for the run!

[maaarsh]

Great silver for Dempsey in the windsurfing

[maaarsh]

Cracking start in race 10 of the men's 470.

 

Need to beat the Aussies in this race by any margin, then its a head to head match race in the medal race where the other 8 boats don't matter.

[maaarsh]

Right, team dressage on 454 for those with Sky.

 

This is the BIG ONE.

[maaarsh]

Strong start from the krauts alas.
