Id like to see Chambers ban be lifted so he can run in the 100m. I see him as our only hope of seeing one of our lot in the 100m final, the field is too strong to see him take home a medal, i could be wrong tho.

I'm interested in Jessica Ennis, but since she became quite successful security has been tightened.

She would definitely become less tightened if I was allowed half an hour with her and some top grade chloroform.

More to the point can anyone see a single shred of sense in spending 12 Billion and counting to find out who is the fastest runner etc.

It's a criminal waste of money !!

The fact that she is fucking quick adds to the complications. Chasing her with a sack would be out of the question.

I'm not anti-Olympics, nor is this an anti Olympics thread. This is about athletes.

Dame Kelly Holmes? Criminally dull Weetabix robo-whore.

Sir Chris Hoy? See above. Also, a shit referee.

Victoria Pendleton? Did the Audrey Hepburn portrait holding a piece of wholemeal toast.

Such individuals will be unavoidable for the next two years and the thought is depressing beyond words.

I saw someone doing some shot putting this morning, I only stayed on the channel to discover the gender of the shot putter.

I thought it was a tubby man with an effeminate face but it turned out to be a woman with no breasts and a man's haircut throwing a big ball bearing a few metres.

The excitement and tension was palpable. Sport at it's very best.

I also enjoy spear throwing, that one where they swing a ball and chain round their heads and let go and beach volleyball.

Are you not missing the point a bit here?
Athletes aren't there to be interesting,witty and charming.
We have the likes of myself and GSC for that carry on.
Athletes are there to train hard at their event and win medals.
You wouldn't hire a plumber to fix your blocked khazi,then fuck him off because he couldn't do an after-dinner speech,would you?
Actually that's a bad example,as he probably could,only in Polish.
Do you expect Usain Bolt to do an open mic comedy slot halfway down the fucking home straight,or Rebecca Adlington to do card tricks during the 400 metres butterfly?
