But when athletics is being pilloried for not being clean, same with tennis - the main sport famous for being dirty makes me wonder what the truth really is.

Id still think that with the history they would be under major scrutiny and they wouldnt bury it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Bolt .. History. Fastest man on the planet for 3 consecutive games. Epic legendary and very special moment. British Gymnasts winning gold medals .. Somethings happening in the world ! As a child of the 60's and 70's it seemed we were lucky to get a gold in horse riding and a bronze in the egg and spoon race. This is great ... Well done Team GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the team have specifically targetted all four relays as medal opportunities and been working hard at them. You never knw, we might even get the baton round in the men's 4 x 100m. Then again... Perhaps a surprise bronze from somewhere like the high jump? The team is buzzing right now. Will a surprise bronze in the hammer do?

TelTheRam Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Laura Trott has to be the epitome of 'the baby-faced assassin'. Such a lovely personality off the bike, but when she gets on it she's absolutely ruthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes maintaining performance at a standard to win rather than training to improve performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
