The Olympic Thread.

I'd give her a medal.

 

Wow, the finish to the women's triathlon was breathtaking.

 

I'd definitely give her one. The way she accelerates towards the finish is mind blowing.

 

I found the cycling events in the Velodrome very exciting, particularly Victoria Pendleton. And once again, the victory ceremony very moving. Good luck tomorrow Victoria.

PS I got a new grand daughter the other week and she was named Victoria (Tori). Nice to be born in the year of London Olympics and have the name of a Gold medalist.

 

Another brilliant Gold by the GB rowers.

 

Velodrome racing is brilliant Ron, I love it myself. Can't wait for the men's sprinters to go head to head. Those guys have legs like massive tree trunks. The men's Keirin is a blast too.

 

A wonderful effort, you are lucky that you didn't have to listen to the Australian commentary Ron. As far as they were concerned, we had control of the race. It was just a matter of time before we pounced. I began to wonder if they were looking at the same race. GB were in command for the whole event.

 

GB again in the rowing. Lightweight women's pairs I think.

 

Well I'm not so sure that Tyson Gay looked all that impressive. Slow away and turned off 10 out. 10.08.

Gatlin. 9.97. Had them covered early.

 

Ryan Bailey. 9.88 after walking off the blocks. He might be the USA's main chance.

 

Bolt, slow as usual off the blocks. Ambled to the lead half way then trotted to the line. Just under 10.10.

 

Asafa Powell with his little ginger chin whiskers, muscled his way to a 10.04. Not sure that he'll be in the medal mix in the final.

 

"The beast" Yohan Blake flat 10.00. Early days yet. But dunno if he's the one.

 

Wow, Kim Collins has been sacked my the team. It's said it's because he slept with wife at a hotel instead of the villiage.

 

Final heat went to Chambers in 10.02. Legs like tree trunks. next round will be interesting for him.

 

No idea about cycling but black people have a significantly greater bone density than caucasians and that may explain they absence in the pool.

Strange how races differ.Asian people have a different level of liver function than the western population.I remember being involved with rosuvastatin and certain dosages were contraindicated to asian patients due to liver metabolism concerns.

Vive la difference!

 

Perhaps his wife isn't allowed in the village, or was it someone else's wife?

 

Now now Oddy, little Lleyton's an icon in Australia. And with the way we're going at the games, nostalgia is about all we have left.

And speaking of the games, there is a great fear for the safety of those useless bastards when they return to the lucky country. The blood letting in the media has been breathtaking.
