I'm sure she was. Sorry about that, couldn't resist it. As requested I have gone forth and about to multiply. He says optimistically.
Anyone tuned in to the Eventing? The course looks pretty testing, but makes me want to get back on a horse and give it a bash! I know someone who walked the course over the weekend and she said the jumps are all pretty mainstream on their own, but the course is very twisty and will take a lot of getting to be inside the time.
Just switched over from watching the racing PN. Not really my sport to be honest. I prefer fences that fall if you touch them, as opposed to those solid jumps. I know they aren't very big but I always worry that one little slip could be horrific.
I went to the football last night - great advert for this country - 85,000 people turning up to watch britain v UAE. Shame about the over eager, in your face ambassadors though. I know McDonalds pay a lot to sponsor the games but it really wasn't necessary for them to give LOCOG the employee handbook and tell the volunteers to adhere to it like glue....... If I want to be spoken to like a 7 year old I know a man in Greenford
Oh dear. Stewards enquiry. Japan queried their marks and enquiry accepted raising Japan from 4th to Silver and demoting GB to Bronze.
Great call, Cyc, you really know your swimming! Yannick absolutely slaughtered them, clear water between his feet and the second (as pointed-out by the commentator) which is incredible in a 200m race, surely, especially a Final? Dunno about this Lochte, non-stayer or what? Biedermann continues to disappoint, lucky to hold on to his world record for the distance.
I don't know what's going on, but Bronte Barratt is a 12-1 shot for the woman's 200m Freestyle final tonight despite being the fastest qualifier. Maybe it's an outdated market. Great race though with 6 time world record holder and defending champion Fredrica Pellegrini looking a chance of being rolled. The US swimmer Allison Schmitt is the fav with odds of 9-4 on offer. A wide open race, but the 12-1 looks decent value Barratt. Wonder if it's possible bet each way here?
Good shout Cyc... One of the events that i ended up watching yesterday was the women's water polo... Its pure brutality. Kicking, punching, slapping and attempts at drowning the oppo... Just like a good game of rugby, but in water...!!! They have to be fit them girls to do that sport so im going to try and get to watch the mens water polo as after reading up on the game a little, as it seems that full blown violence can errupt at anytime... Its the true meaning of the Olympic spirit...<Laugh>
Great result in the Eventing - team Silver for GB and 2 riders in contention for an individual medal (currently 3rd and 4th) in this afternoon's second round of showjumping.
When they panned the camera over the edge of the 10m platform, I nearly shat myself. Those Chinese women are amazing.
