needles Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 4x400m squad DQ for some bullshit, no-one can work out what. Surely they'll appeal, but, as a result, the Brazilian team get into the final as a fastest loser. Now the cynic in me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know something is dodgy when they won't give a clear answer for over an hour. USA 4x100 disqualification was a joke too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Our guy in the open water swimming got a yellow card when he had noone near him then a second in the closing stages when he pushed someone off who was holding his foot to get a tow or slow him down.

Jolly hockeysticks coming up soon - and two of the girls - sorry, gels - were educated at Repton. Mind you, another one's from Belper, so that evens it up a bit. You said that out loud .... Lol....

needles Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Overall, GB have done brilliantly however we end up. However, the Olympics as a whole have been *****. Third world accommodation, booing at genteel sports, meagre ticket sales, crime, lack of organisation, awful officiating, ticket fraud. Shambles. Keep major sporting events in the civilised world.

The disappointment was clear in his interview, to lose out in exactly the same time as Bronze, real tough luck. Someone explain this one to me. How come all those guys could share a silver medal in the swimming, yet in the running they can split it down to 1000s of a second. You're not telling me all those guys I'm swimming hit the board on exactly the same thousandth of a second. Imagine that, 3 thousandths of a second. Try counting to 1000 in one second, I bet you can't. A thousandth of a second I alike the flap of a flies wing. It's an infinitesimally small amount of time. Must be absolutely gutting. Onan similar note, the teakwondo. All he had to do was take a knee. If he'd have put a moments thought into it, he would have realised that the only thing the other guy can possibly do, 2 points down with a second to go, is come straight out of the gates with a head shot. Once you know that, and it doesn't take a genius to work it out, it can't be that it can't be that difficult to defend against, even if you just run away. Gutting. And Daley. Ffs. What's that all about? Not sure why I'm moaning so much, must be in my man period. There isn't that much to Noah about really. GB are doing an awesome job.

The kid was unlucky, watching him break down afterwards showed how gutted he was, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, will be a test of character for sure. More sympathy for him than Daley to be honest. G.B are doing awesome, don't worry it was watching the first half of the Rams that bought your period on 22 hours ago, LesterRam said: Wow wasn't expecting the hockey team to come through, I left the action early second quarter and we were truly under the cosh, we really are doing well this Olympics. They got mullered technically at times, so one sided it was unreal. Bit of a Wimbledon v Liverpool that one, but they gritted it out and were clinical with few chances they got i.m.o Bloody fantastic though, can be proud of their achievements too.

eddie Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Not a lot you can say about Mo that hasn't already been said - but you can bet your life that in a few months, we will hear "Arise, Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah".

Wolfie20 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Unbelievable achievement by Mo - the sad thing was there being only a couple of hundred supporters left in the stadium when the medals were given out. His achievement merited a full house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I was lucky enough to have been at Super Saturday and felt the same goosebumps last night. The way he takes on the field and shows who's boss is marvellous. What a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
