Rio Olympics

Gold in the show jumping, these unexpected golds might mean we'll beat China!

The Chinese havent got that many sure things left, womens volleyball, a badminton and a diving one. We have Farrah, Adams and the girl in the Taekwondo who lives with Jade Jones.

Every chance of finishing above them now, which would be an amazing achievement.

Yeah I agree, just in case though...We also have the women's hockey final tonight. Joe Joyce in the semi-finals of the boxing too. Beating China and finishing 2nd would be unbelievable and arguably the biggest sporting achievement there has ever been for this country.
 
I know we have others, like Mohammed in the Taekwondo as well, I was talking about favourites for gold only and the Dutch are favs for the hockey tonight.
GB have won 7 out of 7 in the hockey though and the dutch have a tough slog to get through on penalties in the semi's. I reckon our lot will be disappointed if they don't get gold tonight.
 
Got tears in my eyes for a 58 year old toff here.. Mental well done another gold for GB !

Me too. Remember him from years ago when Horse of the Year Show used to be on the Beeb. Part of the Ted And Liz Edgar stable originally, and I watched his jump over that massive wall. I bloody loved horses as a kid and was dead jealous of those that rode horses as their career, lol

I agree we have a chance, but they are world and reigning champs and are the favs.

They have Ellen Hogg most importantly, not sure of her skills on the pitch but wow what a looker.
 
You've got to love due to the Olympics how some random crappy sport in this case women's hockey can get such good coverage in a prime time slot on the biggest channel in the UK.

It'll almost certainly beat the rag game for viewing figures.
