If they're all on f*cking druhs then it'sa level playing field...
Yawn...
Do you not watch porn??!
Read an article on ESPN the other day, debating whether Phelps was the greatest ever olympian, due to the fact that there are so many opportunities in swimming. Tbf, if you can beat that many people in that many races...
That's hardly a bad price compared to what it costs to play other sports for that amount of time. And tbf, if swimming was free near me I wouldn;t be any more inclined to go...
Well I bet Murray would have won a Grand Slam by now if that were the case...
That's got nothing to do with funding, or backing, or anything like that. If your mate hasn't got the desire to succeed, then he never will, no matter the talent...
She lives/runs near my parents house. Her, that ginger lass who used to run for us, and all the Kenyans too....
Because it wasn't in those 2 secs???

We can jump up and down all we like, but funding for these elite sports is drying up. This will be a sad Olympics for us Paupers.

After the Lord Mayors show mate, you can enter an untold amount of competitors in a home games, any that win/pick up a medal/ just miss out but look like 'next time' will get the sponsorship/funding. When it comes to sending folk across the world though then budgets are seriously looked at as passengers are expensive when it's from the public purse, as you move on from a home games then the team gets smaller and smaller as the pot dries up, unfortunately these sports aren't self funding.

Really made me chuckle this last night......
[h=1]Pete the Dernyman almost steals the show in the cycling[/h][h=2]The faintly comical sight of Pete the Dernyman riding a white battery-powered bicycle in front of the keirin cyclists has provided much mirth.[/h]
The faintly comical sight of a man on what appears to be a white battery-powered bicycle should not distract from the high stakes and high drama of track cycling’s keirin race.
The rider of the Olympic derny is Peter Deary, 65, a cycling coach at the Manchester Velodrome.
He has been a derny rider for 15 years, and carried out the same role at the world championships earlier this year.
In an interview earlier this year, Mr Deary admitted that people find his role and outfit slightly comical, revealing that friends "take the mickey out of me."
The derny rider, typically an experienced track cyclist-turned-official, usually wears a plain, aerodynamic cycling suit and helmet.
For London 2012, the riders are in black, with a distinctive pot-shaped helmet that contrasts starkly with the streamlined headgear of the competitors.
The word keirin is derived from the Japanese for “cycle race†and the sport is thought to have originated in post-war Japan.
However, the discipline has only been an Olympic sport for men since 2000, and London 2012 is the first Games where women have competed in the discipline.
The eight-lap race begins with a pace rider, typically on a motorbike, leading out the field of six riders.
In Olympic competition, the pace rider is mounted on an electric motor-assisted pedal bike, known as a derny.
The pace bike crosses the starting line at 30 kph for men and 25 kph for women. It gradually accelerates to a maximum of 50kph or 45kph.
The order of the riders behind the derny is chosen by lot; the slot in first place behind the pace bike is regarded as the least favourable, because it allows rivals to attack from the lead rider’s slipstream.
After five and a half laps, the pace bike pulls off the track, leaving the riders to sprint for the finish line; crashes are not unknown as riders fight for position at high speed.
Thanks party to the effect of the pace bike, racers can reach extremely high speeds in their final sprint: male racers including Sir Chris Hoy have exceeded 48mph in the keirin.
I think they could've exploited the rules a little here to get a faster time
When's the event where they have to Tuck in behind the 585 Double-Decker ?
