Cycling never lets us down.

Hahaaaarrrr :D

Team GB break World Record and claim gold in Team Pursuit

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

Aussies had me worried for a bit but it all came good...except Sir Wiggo's face during the anthem :)

Truly wonderful by them yet again.:)

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

I've just realised there's something I'm not looking forward to in the athletics - the Brendan Foster/Steve Cram know-it-all-in-tedious-detail commentary style. Do we have to ship out the same old bores every time someone starts to run in circles or up a road?

The repetitiveness is ebbing the life out of me.

And still there are no crowds. Perhaps the sight of self indulgent athletes ingratiating themselves is no longer motivating for the average, skint bystander.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

Yes Steve Cram really gets on my nerves as well old boy so l have the mute button on currently with the subtitles on.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

It sounds to me like you're not looking forward to anything all about the athletics ...

And surely the whole point is that these athletes are not the self-indulgent pretty boys of premier league football, they are the true sportsmen and women, who don't throw a tantrum if they don't earn enough for a new Porche every week.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

It's just a shame for these true sportsmen that their chosen events are to dull to keep the publics attention for anything more than a couple of days every four years really.

Women's team Pursuit win Gold

Male single pursuit has two GB finalists, so Guaranteed both Gold and Silver. Shame one of them will lose though. Andy Murray is also on course to secure the Tennis singles Gold and will face Del Potro as heavy favourite.

Forgot to mention Team GB destroyed the field in Rowing with ease.

GB's Joe Joyce at Super Heavy destroys Santos Morais in the early boxing prelims.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

Nah, I am watching it; I'd just like a bit of variety. I can just see Steve and Brendan with their flat caps on having a chinwag about t'runners and I'd rather not :)

I'm not fussed on £1m per month Pogba either. For that money I'd want him scoring 5 times a match whilst whistlin' Dixie and tap dancing along the crossbar.

Good idea old chap :)

Amazing cycling, too many top performances to name everyone. Did you see the Dutch girl ride the side barrier in the keirin?! link:shocked:

And Mo has done it yet again.:)

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

I think there may have been some worry about Team GB's abilities away from home .London 2012 would take some beating but i reckon this is a brilliant performance from the whole team

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
 

They have done remarkably well and there are still 5 days to go.
