Got radio 5 on the posh commentator has described the reason why the horse paused before starting its jumps as "that's because he had to be excused" , I'm prepared to guess what's happened

the chinese swimmers have come on leaps and bounds since morecombe 2004....

Bulgaria won that volleyball match against Italy, next opponents are Germany.

HORSEPLAY GOLD LADS

AND THEY WERE ALL WORKING CLASS

 

[sheeds]

Just cheered some probably entitled toff who perhaps wouldn't relieve himself in me if I was I on fire however I'm pleased we've won another medal whether show jumping or not?

Edit- to be fair I think Skelton although probably not born on the poverty line quit school with no qualifications to be a stable boy , so not exactly landed gentry which makes me happier

Friends and family who have been say the atmosphere has been fantastic particularly in the evening sessions , as said above like title fights. two GB fighters will be great mate and I think it'll be brilliant getting cheering because they are medal fights and your cheers 'could be' the difference

Worth it - once in a lifetime, since I was a young boy I always promised myself if the Olympics came to the UK I would go to as many events as possible - total cost so far around £4k

Sounds like a night in with Mrs.Kurt .....

You need a degree in astro physics to work out what the hell is going on in this cycle event. Sounds like Trott is doing ok but even the commentators arent too sure.

Trott really needs to figure in this next sprint..

 

[micknick]

She came first in that sprint I think...

Does that mean she wins the olympics or something?
