Moderators Carlos Posted July 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2014 Why are they getting worked up over this lad in the 100m? He ran 10.10, he's never gone under 10 seconds, Usain Bolt goes in 9.6. That's a fucking massive gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalcolmW Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 He is still very young, for sprinters it takes a few years before the cocktail of drugs takes effect. He'd been at a major football academy from the age of 8. Plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYW Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) That swimming relay was fantastic. Better than anything we saw from Team GB in the Olympics. We also beat the Aussies in the 50m freestyle yesterday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/commonwealth-games/28553648 Edited July 30, 2014 by COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgoefc Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Watching womens boxing ...Audley (Northern Ireland) v Spicer (Dominica) Spicer dominated but somehow the judges give a split decision to Audley. Pathetic judging again. I've seen this over and over again in boxing both in the Commonwealth games and Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Only just realised that the male boxers don't wear head guards anymore. Apparently boxers cant see the haymakers coming with the head gear on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomy taylor Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Studies showed that the rate of concussions was higher while wearing headguards than without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
