The Games of the XXXI Olympiad

[ManOfSussex]

Another 3 golds today for Justin Rose, Andy Murray on top of Kenny or Skinner in the sprint would be very nice.

Thanks to Justin Rose I've developed an interest in Olympic golf.

Apologies if this has been put up.
You have to laugh at these two Irish silver medal rowers interview.

I saw them very quickly interviewed by John Inverdale and Sir Steve Redgrave on BBC on Friday. I couldn't understand a word they were saying!

Really don't like the Team GB Adidas kit. The tops are hideous and badly fitted.

Rant aside, I'm really enjoying the games.

I was in the stadium last night when Mo won. At all the events I've been to so far the Brits seem the best supported team by far. Should be there for the Bolt run tonight though your get a better view than me as I'm up in the gods over the other side!

Love that accent. I went out with a Cork woman for a couple of months: I only stuck with her that long because I couldn't get enough of her accent, easily my favourite Irish one

Refreshing to see not everyone goes to media training school

Anyone else thinking they should really be going to bed but......can't ?

Tired as rat sh1t today after bed at 3.30am, a great night. Thought the silver in the 4x100 swimming med was great

In fairness to the Olympic golf, this is a good, tense, final round battle between 2 top players in Rose & Stenson.

Kuch isn't out of it for our US cousins.

Edit:

That interview reveals that Golf certainly IS an individual sport.

No team-spirit among the GB golfers evidently. Willett even used it to have a dig about Rose & Stenson not staying in the Olympic village.

Yep. Maybe they're sharing a room to save cash in a clean but compact B&B somewhere.

 

[ManOfSussex]

GOLD!

Max Whitlock in Gymnastics.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Well played, well played indeed.

Max respect (as the kids might say).

 

[whitelion]

Get in Rose.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Get in Rose.

Exactly what I just said when he holed it!

Although the Europeans somehow get it together for The Ryder Cup golf is very much an individual game, that's why the yanks only generally do well in the singles (as well as the Europeans)
This Olympic tournament is not really a team game. It's not like say gymnastics where they are all sitting together and cheering each other on, the golfers are all over the course on different holes.
Is there a 2 ball team game after this where they play together?
Is Willets going to cheer on Rose when he has finished?

Apparently not.....'a flight to sort out, I'm sure he'll be OK' he said (or something like that).

There you go then.
The only time these golfers meet each other is on the 1st tee.
Some are quite friendly off the course to each other but most are very individual it's a one man / women game ( except the caddy)

 

[Frutos]

Max Whitlock will go again in the Pommel Horse final (along with Louis Smith) in about half an hour.

We've also won a Silver in windsurfing, we're guaranteed a Gold and a Silver in the Mens Individual Sprint cycling later this evening and hopefully Justin Rose and Andy Murray will get Gold too.

He seemed quite aghast at the interviewers polite suggestion that perhaps he could go and watch Rose for just 5 minutes too.
