The Olympics Thread

Patty Mills is a superstar. What a clutch play.

Now bring on the dream team. Easy......

Such a difference between 100m running and swimming.

If blokes stopped 20m out in swimming......

but imagine how many medals runners could get if they could do it forwards, backwards, side to side...

 

[BDR]

I should petition for different styles of running for the 2020 games. Backwards, on your hands, in a sack. The kids would love it

Finally another gold.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Bunniespoof going for everyone but Andy Murray about 3 weeks ago, now he's all over his dick?

Murray impressed me with his show of British pride. I like any Scot that has pride in Britain. It takes a lot of guts because there are elements within his community that are VERY anti britain. So what he did took balls. I had him pigeonholed as a loser and a sook, but he's been more mature lately.

Of course there are elements of his community that are anti-Britain...do you even know what England has done to the Scots over the centuries?

 

[dogslife]

It was my understanding that England and Scotland have been BFFs

 

[Bazal]

Well, Diamond choked....seems to be a theme. Perkins not fast enough either

Another gold coming in the 49er class in the sailing if the boat doesn't sink.

The men's 400m Hurdles gold medal goes to the Dominican Republic's Felix Sanchez in a time of 47.63, which is also a season's best for him! In silver, with a personal best, is the USA's Michael Tinsley, and Javier Culson of Puerto Rico takes the bronze.



So glad the yankees didn't get their hands on this one. Good on Felix... he deserved this one. Was struggling to hold the lead then came home strong.

I can't possibly imagine why the scots (or parts of northern Ireland) would harbour some anti-british sentiment...

FFS two of the last 3 British Prime Ministers were Scottish. It's not some oppressed colony. Resentments they have date back centuries. Noone alive now experienced it. Scotland benefits financially from being part of Britain. The Scottish people get more in benefits than how much tax they pay. They have no reason to sook in the 21st century.

 

[Jason Maher]

Sally Pearson does it! You bloody legend! Anna Meares won the Sprint as well. Great effort by both, carrying so much expectation. Some of our swimmers could learn a thing or two from Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells about how to react to coming second or third too.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Our 5th gold medal in the sailing should bring us into the top 10. When is the event FFS?

You talking about a Souffs premiership?

Hows that for an unexpected gold?
