do you think women should have to play on smaller pitches?

 

[RFUS]

Is she any good?

Unlikely to get a medal I think, more about the experience.

 

[RFUS]

I forgot the Chinese prodigy Ye Shiwen was in this. She's winning as expected but not by a massive margin.

oh god OR, she is gunna overhaul phelps' medal count ha

 

[RFUS]

Ye Shiwen wins setting a new olympic record, but not a world record like many thought. Another gold for China though and the girl's only 16 ffs.

GB relay team COME ON GB

5th..

 

[RFUS]

Men's relay final now. GB in it but USA favourites surely with Phelps and Lochte.

Chad Le Clos is back out for South Africa though. How some of these manage to do numerous races so close to each other is crazy.

penalty, should be red IMO according to the rules. but i think getting a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity when they get the goalscoring opportunity back anyway is a stupid rule. missed pen huge chance
