Cheshire Cat

The most curious thing..
I dunno why it bugs the shit out of me, but I can't stand it when they pretend to bite the medal.
In case they get lucky and have the one made from chocolate.

Obvious innit.

Men’s 100m breaststroke Olympic final winning times:

2024: 59.03
2021: 57.37
2016: 57.13 (then WR)
2012: 58.46
2008: 58.91

It was a pretty slow race, tbh. But well done, Adam.

She is a member of the IOC. I’m guessing they are all getting to present some medals.
Indeed, Didier Deschamps did the Rugby mens 7s medal presentation

But it's been mentioned a few times it's a "slow"pool

I'm currently reading Phil Kay's autobiography at the moment (no, not Peter! Phil is, in my eyes, the greatest comic of his generation and his book is like his shows, hyperactive titbits of mirth. A comic never afraid to fail but always wanting to connect).

This little titbit (written around 2012) I love and thought it might amuse someone else too.

"It has been a very Olympic year. We have been buying Brussels sprouts on-the-stalk and keeping the last few sprouts on the top and running around with it held up like the Olympic torch is coming through town.
Plus, I have been opening the back door of the old eight-seater estate car with two hands like the clean-and-jerk weightlifter".

Love him.

Been reading it with the Olympics on the TV, muted, and the windows open listening to the Libertines waft in from their gig on the beach.

Balding now discussing 'cupping'.

With neither Adlington nor Foster knowing anything about it, they've all done well to keep a straight face throughout.
Which is exactly why I’ve swapped to EuroSport/Discovery+. Yes they too have their own bunch of nauseating individuals but less so than the Beeb.

The Handball is under way. I would love to see those spoilt football divas get up and play a World Cup game at 8.00!

Well, they dived as well as they could've.

A great silver by Tom and Noah. And a wonderful way for Tom to bow out if he chooses.

But China were on a different level.

The Chinese are levels above, no shame at all in coming second to them.

Superb silver for Tom and Noah.
