Stan, I don't know if you listened to 5Live last night at about 6pm. They had the head honcho of world track cycling on the line discussing they issues. You may be able to listen again on the t'interweb. I'd paraphrase what he said but I couldn't really understand half of what he was saying.

Back on the discussion point, Michael Johnson thought it was ridiculous that in the women's beach volleyball final it was USA 'A' -v- USA 'B'. He didn't mention what his thoughts were on the abundance of Americans and Jamaicans in the sprinting though

The Cycling:

Did anyone clock the fact that, of all the sports, cycling is the only one that allows just one entrant per country?

Think about it........if there were more than one, we'd likely have had gold and silver in every event. The rest are scared of us walking away with all the honours, and it would appear that this limit was brought in to stop us.

Can you see the China, USA and Olympic officials allowing the same ? as it would be like the turkey voting for christmas.

How do you think that China and USA get so many medals. ?

Whilst i enjoyed the all American girls beach volleyball final last night it is ramming home your point even more so not to mention the badminton and table tennis medals,, ffs.
 
Is Amir Khan doing a John Terry impersonation?
The interview of Nicola Adams with Gold Medal finished up as an interview of Amir Khan.

:steam:
 
Just watched the medal ceremony for one of those horse riding events we won. Can't work out why it's those posh toffs that sit on the horse getting the medal. I want to see the horse up there on the podium, getting the medal hung round its neck. They do all the work.

They'd think it was a big juicy sugar lump and try to eat it.

Then they'd choke and die.

And then Animal rights people would instigate vigilante action again all Toffs.

Then the Toffs would fight back with their hounds and guns.

Resulting in a whole new form of hunting.

If it got really out of hand, could be a civil war!

I know it's a terrible scene I've described here, but I really could see it happening.

So sorry about this HHH, but you needed to know...

Not true, it was the Swedish handball team.

Nice little feature from the New York Times about the 100m times over the years.

Does this "Yorkshire would be 6th now" thinking take account of Team GB losing all the medals Yorkshire would be winning?
