The 2016 Olympics Thread

So cynical Kolo.

We do seem to be able to plug in whatever track cyclist we can into the team over the past 8 years and win medals. Don't think it's as a result of doping though or even talent, I believe it's because of minutely detailed preparation by the team behind the riders. They always talk about 'marginal gains'. And it also helps that the track team can probably just name their price when it comes to funding, as long as they continue to deliver.

I'm not arsed. It's not like it's a proper sport anyway.

Sensing a bit of jealousy from the Irish contingent because Britain rule at sports whilst all they could muster at this Olympics was a pikey boxer throwing a hissy fit.

[Kolo Kolo]

I'm not Irish. I just hate cheats.

[Cumbrian]

Never even heard of Jason Kenny

And just found out he's engaged to Laura Trott.

Their kid will be some cyclist.

[MrLil8]

Gold postboxes all over the gaff around here because of that Jason Kenny.

[Kolo Kolo]

Is he a postman?

[Dr Sunraged]

I'm not Irish. I just hate cheats.

[MrLil8]

Ha ha ha ha that is shocking.

Argentina v USA Basketball.

Gold for A brownlee triatlon 1st person to ever defend the title

Ace isn't it

There are some absolutely pathetic events at the Olympics, like Judo, and that shit where they hop and try kick each other in the head. Proper shite.

However, Hockey is excellent. It's actually interesting tactically, and you could link bits to football.

BBC1 right now, Super Heavies boxing. Joy Joyce from GB.

I love hockey. Also like seeing the similar movements across the two sports. Not seen any of the Olympics at all this trip but Australian sounds like they've bombed.

[MrLil8]

Penalty shootout in the hockey final right now on BBC1.

[Daisy]

That was superb, we should sign the GB goalie

[MrLil8]

Or dress Mignolet up in those pads and stuff, she was brilliant.

[dave00]

I haven't watched a lot of the Olympics but that womens hockey final was absolutely superb.

So Bolt retires from Olympic competition with 9 golds from 10 races (race he lost was as a 17 year old in Athens).

Absolute sporting God.

Incredible. Astonishing. Outstanding.

Do hope he's clean.

[Cumbrian]

I've heard he showers regularly, Tards.

[Cumbrian]

I wonder what his PB is in the long jump.

[Tardelli]

Set myself up for that

[Kolo Kolo]

Good decision, retiring.
