    What has been your highlight of the Olympics?
    Mine is either Mo Farah, the false starts race for Jason Kennys final, or for tension the women's hockey.

    Mo Farah and Nicola Adams.

    Anything else than gold for either would be considered failure.

    Farah fell and still won. The worlds best have no answer. Slow it down, speed it up, Farah wins. He is also fast enough to qualify for the 1500 at the Olympics.

    Adams had opponents who struggled to lay a glove on her. Anybody who thinks women should not box have a look at this women's footwork, reflexes and hand speed (jab).

    Fair enough - I haven't studied the figures - I just thought most of the Russians were banned.

    they have managed to get more than half of their "clean " athletes to the games .... they should be lucky for that and it is not likely they will be able to compete with guaranteed clean athletes for at least a year .... every month or so a new test comes up that can go deeper into what has been used in the past ..... its like dna testing there is probably a few hundred peeps out there hoping they wont be caught if anyone in their family transgresses the law such is the latest tests ...
