Ohio Saint Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 BMX speed trilas. I can make no argument against it's validity. It has all the elements of a proper sport, it's also fast and exciting.

The Cat Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 2 possible in Taekwondo (Jones, Stevenson) 2 to 4 in boxing (Agogo, Evans, Joshua, Campbell). Maybe Reade in the BMX but she's not favourite by any means. Not sure if there's anything else. Sadly I'm away this weekend so will be missing all the boxing finals. Damn.

dubai_phil Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 how the hell did he manage that ? was it the adrenaline pumping so much he managed to keep going ? Wow - just wow. Manteo Mitchell US 4x400m runner finished his leg of the race DESPITE breaking his leg after 200m..... US qualified for the final as a result - here is his interview. Three days ago I was going up the stairs and I kind of missed one and landed awkwardly. I got treatment and I was fine. I did workouts, and when I warmed up today I felt really well. I felt I could go 44 (seconds)-low. I got out pretty slow, but I picked it up and when I got to the 100m mark it felt weird. I was thinking I just didn't feel right. As soon as I took the first step past the 200m mark, I felt it break. I heard it. I even put out a little war cry, but the crowd was so loud you couldn't hear it. I wanted to just lie down. It felt like somebody literally just snapped my leg in half. I knew if I finished strong we could still get it (the baton) around. I saw Josh Mance motioning me in for me to hand it off to him, which lifted me. I didn't want to let those three guys down, or the team down, so I just ran on it. It hurt so bad. I'm pretty amazed that I still split 45 seconds on a broken leg. Dear highly paid footballers. Take note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Something I find Amazing is the attention the Beeb are giving to Katie Taylor who fights for a country that might be nice near neighbours but have a different anthem, Passport and Money, yet we have the FIRST ever Olympic Women's boxing champion but the BBC 2 end credits finish on an Irish Boxer raising her arms in celebration at the win.

Lighthouse Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 You guys are joking right? This place is full of Paddies and 2nd generation Paddies most of whom will pay their TV license and be watching the Olympics on the BBC. I'd say there was more interest in Irelands first gold than just another GB gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
