That Neymar is like me at the GOT 8-a-side.

That was remarkable. They nearly caught the Americans there FFS

I know I'm biased but I don't think I've seen this level of domination in any other sport at the Olympics.

A diving little fecer? Surely your not a diver?

Swimming maybe, just because the USA won 14 golds in it. But we are smashing world records all over the shop.

Fantastic performance by the girls there. Smashed 'em.

If cycling had as many events as swimming we'd honestly be challenging China for top of the medal table, it's frightening how good they are

I'm not talking about medal quantity, I'm talking about winning margins.

They almost caught the yanks up then. That shouldn't happen in a two team race for gold. It's ludicrous.

 

[tsubaki]

If they had actually caught the Yanks it would have been the icing on the Ennis.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The only gold we haven't won on the track so far was the girls team spring, and I reckon we would have done in that too but for the DQ for Pendleton and Varnish. I didn't think we could repeat Beijing but we certainly are. Amazing stuff.

 

[bluejock]

Really wasn't arsed about this Olympics before it started but getting more and more into it now.

Track cycling is pretty ace.

 

[davek]

This cycling team are defo on the gear.

Comes to something when the governing body mess around with things to try and trip you up. Remember in Beijing we had a few in each event. We'd have even more medals if we could field a couple of riders in each event.

Very much a golden era for British cycling here. World Champion, Olympic TT winner and TDF winner on the road, and destroying all comers on the track. Lost for words really. If Froome wins the Vuelta later this month it'll be seriously taking the piss.
