Bunch of cunts. Worst games in memory.The Brazilians aren't coming across very well at these games. They only seem to turn up when their team is playing and then spend half the time booing their opponents. Last night GB hockey team were booed throughout their game with Brazil. The commentator said that the same thing had happened to their opponents in the basketball earlier in the day. They even booed the gymnastics and diving judges for not awarding them maximum points every time! I'm not sure they really get the Olympics.

That and the sport he competes in makes it very easy to win multiple golds if you're the best around.Michael Phelps is just from another planet. 21 gold medals. The next closest athlete, EVER, has 9. He has more gold medals than 150 different countries have in their history. Just a unique athlete.
A tennis player or rower can't do the same thing.
Swimming is a joke.

Maybe because most of the country is poor as fuck, as ever though some that's at the top are making huge amounts.Half empty stadiums as well. Seem to remember in London the sessions were always full

Tim Vickery was on TalkSport this afternoon. He said ticket prices aren't the issue. The lowest priced tickets for the football for example are $15.00 and there are plenty of them. He reckons the low attendances were predictable because Brazilians aren't interested in sport unless they're winning. He's lived in Rio for years so he should know.

No ones come close to Redgrave either for longevity.Yet no one has come even close to him
As I say, be the best rower in the world, or pole vaulter, or tennis player, or football player and you you can win one gold every four years (Redgrave did that for 20 years, man and boy), be the best swimmer in the world and help yourself a la Phelps and Thorpe.
