Olympic & Paralympic Games London 2012

[Guest mr. potato head]

Silver

[Sam]

Something I too was wondering as I was thinking bout putting it on in the background whilst doing some applications.

[Adam]

How long are the time trial routes?

Women's is about 29k, the mens is 44k.

[Katsuya]

The four badminton teams are disqualified.

[Adam]

Sadly I don't think we're going to get a medal here in the women's time trial. Zabelynskaya has set an awesome leading time, wouldn't surprise me if she took Gold.

[Sam]

The four badminton teams are disqualified.

Great news, they should have just played the match properly it really was horrid to watch.

[Lineker]

Team GB steeplechaser Eilish McColgan was hit by car this morning on her run but thankfully she is okay. Just a stiff back.

[Summers]

Bring on the gold!

[Liam]

Wiggins-Froome 1-2 would be nice.

[Katsuya]

People are now pointing out that technically though, they didn't break any rules. They want to win the gold medal and they thought they'd have a better chance by losing.

Armitstead saying how awful it was and she hated it, but she made it home in 10th which is good for a non time-trialist.

Fair point and if they had done it subtly they would have gotten away with it. Instead they took terrible shots time after time despite receiving a warning about their behaviour.

Whilst I don't agree with what they have done, I think having the Round Robin system is flawed in general.

[Katsuya]

Let's bring up another topic. Phillips Idowu: dick?

[Liam]

Yes.

[Dan]

No.

[DavidMarrio]

Maybe

[Cymbols]

maybe

[Liam]

Is there a reason they don't show the scores in the boxing as the rounds are going?

[Sam]

I have no idea what he's up to but it all does seem very strange.

[Lineker]

Ireland doing well in the boxing here.
