    Risk and reward FLG... the girl knew she had broken the race... its one of those where you push as hard as you can but you can only dab your brakes...remembering it (only seen it once) I think she might actually have squeezed her brakes causing the back wheel to lock - it was like a jackknife action...

    Daft as it may seem, I'm pleased for her... I honestly thought she might have broken her back...

    True, shame of it is that she really didn't need to fly down,

    I was coming down a hairpin section of the French Alps in a van one winter and touched the brakes instead of using the gears.

    Triple Salchow into and partly through a corner Armco barrier with a 1000ft drop below - think Italian Job.

    Great times.

    Fantastic few races for team GB in the pool! Two medals from two sensational swimmers. Gold and silver.

    To win by that margin over 100m really is quite outstanding.

    I really admire the dedication it takes to be able to put in a perfect swim like that. Absolutely awesome. He's spent the last year alone practising his diving.

    The Dutch female cyclist that crashed yesterday has three fractures to her spine.

    I wish her a full and speedy recovery but that's got to be a career ending injury as a pro cyclist.
