Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 29 Paid Members Share Posted July 29 Honestly though, the mountain biking was incredible on that final lap. Back and forth about 5 times and then they nearly crashed. Shame the commentary was so shit at indicating how long was left on that last lap, and they missed the final pass. Really enjoyed it though, best event I've seen so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted July 29 Paid Members Share Posted July 29 Pidcock has some engine on him and his ability to win big races is second to none. To come back from having Covid a couple of weeks ago and having to miss the Tour to today is a remarkable effort. Cyclists are a different breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted July 30 Paid Members Share Posted July 30 So Britain have won a gold in the shooting. Them clay pigeons took one hell of a beating from Nathan Hales who barely missed a shot. What surprises me is that the Americans were nowhere. All those guns you'd think they'd piss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 They were some high quality clay pigeons too. The drop steps and fake outs were unbelievable. Shame that British guy was so good at shooting the cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 30 Paid Members Share Posted July 30 (edited) I'll never get bored of the way Becky Adlington and Mark Foster look at Claire Balding when she's drivelling on talking absolute shite about a sport she knows nothing about. Patience of saints. Andy Murray saving just the two match points in his latest career threatening match this time. It's all shaping up for Rafael Nadal to give him the "I'm sorry, I love you" moment.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted July 30 Paid Members Share Posted July 30 I like Balding as a presenter when she is talking about something she knows about, which is basically horses. Apart from that Dev is 100% correct, she talks a lot of shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Foster has been a real highlight of these games. Just openly laughing and shaking his head at some of the bollocks Balding and Adlington have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyGraham Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Nah, Chappers is ace, looks like he's enjoying himself and seems genuinely engaged. Just watched the triathlon and bloody hell that was a bit exciting at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 31 Paid Members Share Posted July 31 I've always found him to be absolutely fine, which when it comes to Sports presenters puts him in the Best of all Time category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 31 Paid Members Share Posted July 31 I like Mark Chapman, too. Alex Yee coming from about a mile behind to win the triathlon gold after drinking several pints of Seine water is a feat of superheroism. Loving these Olympics so far and the track and field hasn't even started yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP RULZ Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Great morning so far 2 thrilling comebacks for Gold for GB, Yee looked down and out and seemingly nailed on for Silver or even Bronze as the French guys behind looked poised to strike then out of nowhere he just turned on the Jets and took Gold About 15 mins the Women's Quad In the rowing had an even more thrilling close finish, literally only taking the lesd for the 1st time on the final stroke, it went to photo finish but was clear from the TV pictures I thought we had won it. 2 golds and 2 Bronzes so far today It will be Interesting to see how many/if any get sick now after the triathlon with the mixed relay still to go in a couple of days will some teams be hampered if athletes can't compete and could get a bit messy if the IOC pushed for it to go ahead when I can't imagine it was any safer today then it was yesterday (though tbf it did sound like a lot of competitors were happy to just go ahead either way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
