That Chinese girls a cool customer,think it's gonna be very cagey early on.sarahyinlo said:Thought Tseng had it for a sec, I was devastated when the officials signalled no, then she lost her composure. Mental toughness is something very lacking in our athletes, most of them failing to step up when it mattered (except for that weightlifting silver).
We were pinning our hopes on taekwondo, oh well. But at least Tseng put in a decent effort and is still in the picture for a bronze, unlike the other two who flopped spectacularly yesterday. Shu-Chun Yang lost her quarterfinal 6-0 or something, pretty embarrassing after all that media hyperbole.
Congrats to Jade Jones anyway. Let's hope she beats that chinese girl.
It may well have been a good end to the fight, but I certainly wouldn't go off anything you hear on the radio. If you put a union flag design on a bag of crisps right now and put it anywhere near the Olympics the commentators would be shouting and screaming at how 'unbelieveable' the bag of crisps was, and how absolutely 'unbelieveable' the crowd were in shouting for the aforementioned bag of crisps! They would then interview the bag of crisps afterwards and ask it how much the 'unbelievable' and 'amazing' crowd were, to which the bag of crisps would reply 'oh they are absolutely amazing, I don't know what I would have done without them............unbelievable' etc, etcblue b4 the moon said:I was watching that taekwondo and thinking how boring zzzz after 2 rounds turned it off. Just got in the car with 30 secs remaining to pick up Mrs Moon from work and the crowd/commentator on the radio were going mad, sounded really exciting made the Tyler/QPR game seem dull. Can't believe it. It's a lesson for all the early leavers....
Another dig at the media coverage. You're consistent, I'll give you that!malg said:It may well have been a good end to the fight, but I certainly wouldn't go off anything you hear on the radio.

UN......BELIEVABLE!
Not all of them. Most of the velodrome coverage has been brilliant. Jonathan Edwards has been my favourite up to now, really grounded and talks a lot of sense, the BBC could do with him on MOTD, alongside Steve Cram who has excellent as well. Watch one of them call Bolt 'unbelievable' later on!jimharri said:Another dig at the media coverage. You're consistent, I'll give you that!

Well done that girl.
I'd love to see him beat his own world record, but you couldn't really call it unbelievable - he's the world record holder and it's a fast track.MCFC1993 said:malg said:Not all of them.

To be honest I can see a world record in Bolt tonight which would deserve an unbelievable in my view. Unbelievable Jeff.
