One day, someone's going to invent a ladies' cossie that doesn't ride up when playing beach volleyball. Hopefully not soon...
Ouch, Louis Smith cocks up the pommel horse in the gymnastics men's team event, likely costing GB a bronze. 3 gymnasts go for each country on each of 6 bits of apparatus. Every score counts. Smith's was the 17th out of 18 exercises. Brutal, especially in a team event. Actually, with the scores in even if he hadn't fallen off I don't think GB could have got third. Don't beat yourself up Louis.
There's money to be made in these Olympics,i'll be lumping on some bets soon. Bolt 100m and 200m,Farah 5000m and 10 000 m,Lavillenie Men's Pole Vault,Rollins Womens 110m Hurdles,Rudisha Mens 800m,Kiprop Men's 1500m, Taylor Men's Triple Jump, Ibarguen Women's Triple Jump,Great Britain in the Coxless Fours Rowing, Laura Trott Women's Omnium, Great Britain Men's Team Pursuit, China Women's Sprint and Nicola Adams in the Women's Flyweight division. That's enough to be going on with atm !
We'd be doing brilliantly if there were tin and aluminium medals, given the number of 4th and 5th places we are getting. Here's a fun thing from the BBC, put your stats in and see if there are any Olympians your shape and size. I match a couple of rowers and a cyclist, which was quite pleasing. Sadly I am a minimum of 25 years older than all of them. Rio Olympics 2016: Who's your Olympic body match? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/36984887
I matched up with 2 of the American Women's Gymnastic team ! Good going,but Fiji are the team to beat !
GB Ladies beating Argentina in the hockey at the moment. I have seen quite a lot of this sport as my daughter used to play at county level, in the days when she could be arsed. I can tell you one thing, it's not a spectator sport.
