Ennis has lovely teeth for a Pom.

She has also won the same amount of gold medals as you convicts have so far.

Should include all the countries within a 400,000km radius to us and just compete as Asia Pacific. Works for Great Britain. Pretty sure we're winning the Olympics.

Yeah, I said it was wide open and having 2 in the final we could get a medal. getting gold was a surprise but I suppose there is always one or two events every Olympics that are sub standard, this was the one this time round and the GB man capitalised at home.

Ultimate cut throat event

Strong first half of the marathon from Kim so far. Not gonna get carried away - there's no way she's in the top half-dozen favourites here. But it's awesome to see her so prominent.

 

[Burgey]

Am I right that this is the first Olympics where the athletes names are on their number plate thingies? Good development IMO

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, good point - don't remember seeing it before. Definitely a good idea - the numbers meant little to the TV audience.

 

[Burgey]

Also means you can google obscure but hot heptathletes from northern Europe.




If you're so inclined, I mean

Crazy move from a random Russian! Comes from nowhere to join the leading bunch.
