Anyone else think there is a bit of an Olympics lull now? There was so much to watch in the first week and now we are at the back end of it, it just seems like its all pretty much done and dusted now. Only real thing I can think of that will be boss is the 4x100m relay

Should be boss watching the Jamaicans get another gold and another world record
 
That [Poor language removed] Murata pulled that off. The Uzbek has got through every bout with debatable, close scoring so it's about time he lost the same way.

Murata is some comeback specialist like. He's been losing in every final round but always wins. Should be a good final.
 
The BMX pundit is apparently dale Holmes who according to wiki was born in Derbyshire so what's the score with his accent ?

I think Carl Lewis has a better shout than him (just an example). His golds are spread out across more types of events than Phelps. Swimming certainly stacks the deck. Like I said, still a magnificent achievement, just not as dynamic as some.

I remember Lewis being vaunted as the Worlds Greatest Athlete, some of us had a different opinion though and the man the we reckoned to be it did as well.

I'm sure he has mate , I've got mates who live in Australia and south Africa and they may have lost thir accent a bit but is is just bizarre in my opinion
 
Wow what a fight.

The Azerbaijan teenager inflicted two standing counts on Russo in the second round and it didn't even look like he'd survive the round, but he did and the Italian came out and dominated in the last round to turn around the deficit and win. Crazy.

What a session of semi finals. Can't wait for tonight's bouts.
 
How did Russo win through there, he took 3 left hooks to the stomach in a row, it dropped him eventually, but dropped him twice for 8 counts cos he couldnt recover. Ok he got one back in the third but I was very surprised, good bout that, loads of theater.
