Rio Olympics

I never get this sort of attitude, do you think Barca fans care who is the better player out of Xavi and Iniesta? Just appreciate two of the greatest cyclists in the world and British cycling representing the county.

bet they do down the pub.

Just nice to see Wiggo put the "Froome is the bestest ever" brigade in their place, not even close in achievements.

Horse disco and the 20km mincing must be two of the weirdest sports ever invented.

Wiggins is a phenomenal athlete, and you can only admire his achievements. I have a nagging doubt though, in the back of my mind, that he's probably a bit of a dick in real life. Just a hunch.

GB up to 3rd in the medal table behind USA and China. Pretty incredible achievement considering we only won a solitary gold medal in Atlanta just 20 years ago.

There was an interview with Chris Hoy during the build up to the team pursuit and Wiggins cut hoy off every single time, just started answering the question before Hoy had finished speaking.

It just struck me as really quite rude the way he did it 4 or 5 times - even though they seem to get on well.


So yeah, I agree I have a suspicion he's a dickhead but you probably need to have that sort of streak if you're going to be so singlemindedly dedicated to a sport for 25 years.

I thought it was unbecoming to have an opinion that does not blow smoke up the rectal cavity of those famous and probably wealthy.

To criticise is the sign of envy..... according to many on here.

A truly incredible athlete...a dick in real life? I dunno, but I get where you are coming from.

To be fair, I imagine your right but I think a lot of the elite athletes like Wiggins are probably utter bellends.

Froome alluded to his cuntishness a couple of days ago in an interview after he was only given a reserve team spot.

This GB trampoliner is still blubbing! They should direct her to the diving pool, she could fill it again this evening.

My cousins lad has represented GB at trampolining and I remember talking to his mum a couple of years ago about it. His ambition was to make the team for the Rio Olympics and he was in with a good shout. His life revolved around it and it was his only ambition. A couple of months later he picked up a serious injury and was out for most of the year, which sadly put an end to his dream.

These crowds are a joke. They might as well just give tickets away to local schools to fill the stadiums and get their kids interested in sport other than Football.

Great interview from Martyn Rooney as well "I ran like a dick".
