Hey! Which one are we?!

I do think it's funny that US - Australia relations are great for the most part and then every 4 years turns into Montagues and Capulets. I was watching swimming earlier and thinking we have to cut off their vegemite supply somehow

It’s nothing personal, mate, as most Americans I have met are lovely people.

Another Silver for GB, Burgess in the Canoe slalom, unbelievable run from Gestin for gold

 

[MCFC1993]

Some performance from Adam Burgess, got silver and made a massive error too, he wouldn't have got gold though.

France definitely benefitting from a home games, Gestin looked like he'd been on that course a thousand times.

Those gymnasts are unbelievable, the upper body strength is unreal and the stuff on the floor!

Another silver on the canooes, excellent stuff. This is why I love the Olympics, random medals in sports that I know nowt about.

A sport that we've become quite good at, London 2012 facilities must be helping with that.

 

[MCFC1993]

Don't know if we'll medal in the men's team gymnastics, a fall in the vault hasn't helped.

Jarman on vault and Whitlock on pommel have a great chance at gold in the individual though.

We’re good at most sitting down sports, for whatever reason.

Utterly absurd, aren't they?

Not people to arm wrestle.
