The Olympic Games Rio-2016 Thread

Becky James guaranteed at least a silver in the individual sprint!

 

Katy Marchant has to go for bronze.

 

Riding that durny bike must be the uncoolest thing in the world.

 

I was thinking just the same!
Kenny absolutely smashed that semifinal though, looking good!

 

Another gold in sailing.

 

Gold in the 470 sailing!

 

A derny bike costs 5K I look uncool for a lot less than that.

 

Dammit, missed Trott. Making supper getting in the way. I'll have to wind the iPlayer back.

In the Women's 470 Sailing class we have another guaranteed Gold, confirmed tomorrow.

 

Once upon a time I did consider doing that. Don't get paid enough/at all.

 

How does anyone know what is going on. They mentioned GPS...how did they do it before that was devised?

 

Stay on the bike please Laura!

 

She is just totally in control now!

 

Fabulous Laura Trott!

 

I believe they had one official per rider keeping tabs and count on them.

 

They used to have one bloke running around the outside for each rider so you could see where they were ...

 

Utterly stupendous from Laura, a legend already at 24!

 

Already the GB record female athlete BEFORE she was expected to get any medals at all.

GO TROTTY GO.!

 

Absolutely brilliant!

 

Bless her heart, she's got me in tears as well!

 

And you see the next part of our masterplan....marry off the athletes and breed the next generation.
