I've always liked the Olympics, but unfortunately can't get much TV time now... I've heard our gymnast Jordan Jovchev has qualified for the finals and also that our volleyball team killed Poland and Australia and is moving forward too. At least something to compensate for our hopeless football in general
Well that was quite a day for team GB. Also kudos to Michael Phelps going out on an excellent high.
You're so right chip - nailed the day's highlights! As for out Jess.... woah Somehow for me, heptathlon and decathlon athletes impress me the most. The connection with the original spirit of the games, and being the best all round takes something special. She showed incredible emotional fortitude as well as being physically supreme.
See how well your nation actually did! http://www.medalspercapita.com/Grenada and Jamaica are kicking behinds!!Basically you have a better chance of getting a medal if you are from these two countries, as they got more medals per capita than the rest.
Yeah, post olympics depression is about right. No more sitting back in my easy chair with a beer and a bag of cheetos, watching the soccer teams play their hearts out. No more water polo, no more pole vaulting, no more long jumping. No more armchair judging the diving competition simply by how small of a splash they make. No more wondering how many times those little girls had to bang their heads on the balance beam before they got it right. No more watching the men's sprint races and trying not to see their crotch bulges. No more noticing what nice behinds and what flat chests all the women's beach volleyball players have. No more anything. <sigh> Here's looking forward to 2016
Team GB Don't Stop Me Now
Broadly I did enjoy it. Sadly Suggs seems to not be able to sing any more.
