Apparently my husband used to share an office at the European Astronaut Centre with the bloke who's job it is to hold up/push off the Dutch riders in the velodrome.

Claim to fame or what.

There was the Mexican woman this morning who completely messed up, her feet hitting the water first which meant that she scored 0. Devastating.

Why does Taekwondo remind me of men fighting outside football matches.

Is it really just the two fat blokes shuffling while encouraging their mates to “hold me back”?

No it’s more like the opening skirmish before the “hold me backs” come in!

Just watching this cycling 100 lapper.
Would a top Tour de France cyclist win this?
And would a top TdF sprinter do well in the shorter races.

Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins have both medalled on the track in the past, haven’t they? No idea what races, though.

I really think there should be some kind of medal for the BBC commentary and summarisers team. We have had a new Olympic record for the number of superlatives used in describing the facilities and performances.
