Talking bollox in interview.

always does

 

[vegster]

At least Sussex have got the Olympic and decided to win for a change !

Trott is outstanding. Amazing talent.

 

[MF'84]

She really is something special.

 

[Beach Hut]

What gets me about Trott is she looks a bit of wimp compared to some of the other women cyclists but boy does she pack a punch

Yeah I've been thinking the same, some of the thighs on her competitors are huge in comparison... Trott just seems to have this 'core power' the others can't match; less weight to haul round as well I suppose

I noted a few days ago that Team GB's opposition have all bulked up, where, if anything, GB have got even more 'slender'.
Had the Dutch girl, that won the Kierin, been English she looked like she would have been sent down to Grobler and told to get in a boat (where she still would have won gold!)

The science is all about wind resistance v power.
Everybody else favouring power whereas we're minimizing the resistance.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Don't rule out Posh and Cheryl Cole making the team for 2020 then.

 

[Triggaaar]

SILVER for Cavendish.

I'm a bit upset

 

[Hugo Rune]

Trott is outstanding. Amazing talent.

So is her partner Kenny. Imagine them on a tandem in mixed doubles! Unplayable.

 

[gregbrighton]

Couldn't help having a quiet chuckle at the French pole vault world record holder and reigning Olympic champion losing his crown to the Brazilian challenger...

They would clearly find it easier to get a place on the England international men's football team....

Naturally as a tubby middle aged man, lying on the sofa drinking my tea, there's yet to be an event I couldn't medal in, until now...

Did he drown in the monsoon?

Antibiotics and extra toilet paper and buckets at the ready........

I remember reading during the Beijing Olympics that the British 10k swimmer David Davies would neck a whole litre bottle of Coca-Cola at the end of the race to try to help prevent full scale dysentery.

Can you work this one out ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/36689783

10 km Open Water Swim

All sorts of problems with yellow cards being handed out willy nilly.

Great Britain's Jack Burnell was furious after being disqualified from the men's 10km open water swim, which was won by Dutchman Ferry Weertman.

There was plenty of confusion after a dramatic finish, with Greece's Spiros Gianniotis initially given the win before being downgraded to silver.

Burnell was given third and then fifth before being disqualified.

Velodrome action is going well for the British. Callum Skinner DQ though in the Keirin
