Rio Olympics

3rd in the medals table. Not bad for a country our size. I wonder what the spend is per country on their athletes? I bet some countries poor a shit load of money into their Olympic athletes. Probably a very uneven playing field where funding is concerned.

When we organise ourselves we can compete with anybody, this is why Brexit should not worry us.

Rowing and cycling have shown the way, use this approach in other sports and we will always be able to compete at the highest level.

The men's sprint really is a cracking watch in the velodrome.

GB have just got a great silver in the Women's Eight (Rowing), 1st medal ever in that event.

Awful analysis of the heptathlon from Gabby Logan and Denise Lewis. They seemed to have completely forgotten that the Belgian girl still had one attempt left in the long jump. They were practically handing the gold medal to Jess Ennis. Cue Belgium girl jumping into the lead.

Brilliant riding from Laurine Van Riessen . Rode the advertising hoardings to avoid crash in women's keiren.

She mangaged to stay on and finish 4th . Then won the repechage to progress to the next round. Needless to say taking to more traditional route.

Brilliant effort by the team pursuit girls.

Smashed the WR too.

 

[MCFC1993]

Great gold in the women's team pursuit.

Ok who came up with the idea of a bloke on a motorbike riding round a track followed by push bikes ? Great silver for James

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Skinner brilliant again.

 

[hilts]

We are so good at cycling, I'm pulling the grifter out from the back of the garage tomorrow, got the buzz

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

That Dutch lass is a behemoth.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

How on earth did that Dutch girl win the Kierin, reckon she saw one of the punters eating a burger and fancied a bite

Least favourite bike riding event for me. Half of it is just following a safety bike at a set pace.
Bobbins compared with the othersame especially the sprint relay.

Kenny has to kill the Russian here

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

All British final in the men's match sprint.
