Grabarse has bronze for a triple tie in third.

Note that the Russian, previously drunk in competition, mislaid his vest after 2.29 and was allowed to jump 2.33 in a tee shirt. Then he found the vest for 2.36.

Chris Hoy is an awesome cyclist, competitor, and example for life

 

He's alright for a Scotch.

Frankly, it was better when they thought we were ignoring them. Now they think we care about what they think.

 

I shall continue to generally blank them until such time as something irresistible (like Bolton 3, Australia 2, hallelujah) just has to be delivered.

Great to see some proper sporting role-models instead of the obnoxious twats who I've spent the last 10 years watching in the Prem.

So you going to ditch watching footy and start going to Gateshead and crystal palace?

 

I already do. Not often Gateshead but certainly the many regional athletics grounds.

 

My point wasn't that I personally would like to go and see more sports role-models; mmore I'd like to see the folk who play football behave in a manner becoming of a role-model rather than the behaviour we are currently seeing from them; shagging each other's wives, beating club-goers up, etc.

We had this conversation before mickey.

 

Id say the majority of footballers are decent sorts.

 

However that doesn't make good press so never gets reported.

 

Some of these athletes are rum buggers too.

 

The gold medalist in the men's steeplechase Ezikiel Kemboi is awaiting trial back home for stabbing some lass who wouldn't go home with him.

I was talking in terms of letting her take me for a drink, now i know that IAMOUT

In his defence though, she had probably let him buy her a drink and was most likely wearing a short skirt.

Was 1988 Olympics, cost him a 3rd gold medal in consecutive Olympics.

The incompetants at the Telegraph have Sarah Marshall down as a 'don't miss' today.

 

Shame he binned it in the first round.

I'd be more worried about this happening...

Hammer pools now completed - Hitchon qualifies as 10th best of 12 qualifiers.

who knows what athletes get up to in their spare time

 

we'll never know though as hardly anyone really cares outside of the olympics, so the papers don't report it

 

admittedly, John Terry is going to struggle for SPOTY following these olympics, but don't think our success and subsequent thrust of athletes into the limelight is an excuse to start moaning about how footballers behave, are paid etc and all that - it's lazy

2 out of 6 of the first round clears in the show jumping were British.
