The Games of the XXXI Olympiad

[Greg Bobkin]

I don't really get the dancing horse business. Not really interested either, if I'm honest. But well done to the British Doris (hopefully) – close to 94% in ANYTHING has got to be pretty amazing, right?

Opening ceremony tomorrow evening and from what I've seen on Social Media it's going to be an absolute belter. Plenty of dancing girls, samba beat, carnival atmosphere and vibrant colours, should be a sight to behold.


Any other highlights people are looking forward to?? Road race on Saturday should be good and an early chance for GB to strike gold and the swimming should be much improved from our disgusting showing in London.

Shame they have not had the crowds it still makes me so proud of the London Olympics and para Olympics wil done Great Britain.

Likewise.

I'm not going to be happy if our players give 94%

But before Charlotte and the dancing horses, take a bow Sophie Hitchon - Bronze in the hammer!

I dunno about hammer but I'd certainly nail it.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I don't remember Tony Hadley belting out that line.

Out of 110%, 94 is poor.

Even if it's at the end of the day?

What on earth was going through Cavendish's head there? At the very least it was stupid riding.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Cavendish doesn't seem to have tactics at the moment

 

[warmleyseagull]

Hope I'm wrong but have a feeling Cavendish will let the race happen and end up out the medals or bronze at best.

 

[Frutos]

SILVER for Cavendish.

 

[vegster]

Don't get this immodium.. Cavendish has quit effectively

 

[wakeytom]

Don't get this immodium.. Cavendish has quit effectively

Not at all, he knew his strength and defended / attacked for Silver rather than going all out and ending with nothing
