    If you're meaning Marcell Jacobs, I think he is Italian.

    edit: I think we may both have been whooshed...

    Jacobs isn't a very Italian name is it? Unlike Garibaldi...

    When you've just broken your own World Record to win Olympic Gold - priceless.

    It was a shame to see Transgender weightlifter Lauren Hubbard failing to make a successful lift in the women's +87 kg competition.

    Did not finish due to a 'Dodgy Snatch'...

    Would the gold medal go to the one who comes last for the men and first for the women?

    Isn't it funny how many biscuits are named after revolutionaries?

    You've got your Garibaldi - Italian revolutionary.

    You've got your Bourbon - French revolutionaries.

    And then of course there's your Peek Frean Trotsky Assorted.

    As someone famously once said (not sure, but it might have been Martin Luther King)

    "Its not class or ideology, colour creed or roots. The only thing that unites us is Doctor Martens boots"

    Wise words and an inspirational roadmap for how we should live our life.
