At least a Silver for GB Individual dressage free-style. In Gold position, only 3 to go and two are British.
****adoodledoo. The youngster has grabbed the Gold for GB. Gold and Bronze. I thought the little mistake at the end might have cost her the Gold but she was so fantastic otherwise. Fantastic.
American runner Manteo Mitchell has revealed he ran the last 200m of the Olympic men's 4x400m relay heats with a broken left leg. What an amazing performance !!!
Blimey!...thats the most amazing race ever!..(sorry 100m people!)...8 people running under 1.44.00 in an 800m race never mind a Limpic final!! That was a world record that was sooo tough to beat,never mind in a final without a pacemaker!!..sorry Frankel..lol! Well done the dressage people but this is real sport!!
Hate to be cynical but this London Limpic track does seem very quick.... I'd like to give a good prod with the going stick!!
Gawd if you can't beat a chap with a broken leg then there's not much hope. I know it's unpatriotic but I hope the Yanks win the final because that chap really does deserve a gold medal. Two fantastic golds today I did see the dressage on tv but unfortunately the sound was off and the sub-titles on. Subtitles were done phonetically so there were some very strange comments. The OMG moment today was in the BMX cycling when the whole field bar one crashed
Apparently the British runner finished last in a time that would have won Gold in the last 3 Olympics.
Got to agree with you here Dex... For pure sporting effort that will take some beating. Every runner in that race set some sort of record. Now thats performing at your best when it matters...!!! + 1 2319 RUDISHA David Lekuta..... 1:40.91, World Record + 2 1211 AMOS Nijel.................... 1:41.73, National Record + 3 2306 KITUM Timothy.............. 1:42.53, Personnel Best + 4 3252 SOLOMON Duane........... 1:42.82, Personnel Best + 5 3254 SYMMONDS Nick ........... 1:42.95, Personnel Best + 6 1678 AMAN Mohammed.......... 1:43.20, National Record + 7 2967 KAKI Abubaker.............. 1:43.32, Season Best + 8 1827 OSAGIE Andrew............. 1:43.77, Personnel Best Cant get much better than that...
That's 6 shifts down and just 4 to go. My last one is on Monday, day after the games finish (or as I call it chucking out day). On my way back to GM work last night I saw some people checking out of the hotel where loads of officials are staying.... they all had Australian emblems on their luggage whether this was planned before the games started or not I don't know but
You've got to give them a gold for this http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-08-02/sharing-the-olympic-blame-with-clarke-and-dawe/4173114

Love the Jana clip. The following clip is one of my favourites. There are a lot of people who believe these interviews are for real. They are comedians. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8zo8YZboGg
