Blake will come good, he will surely rule in Rio
Gay ran 9.80 and came fourth...I mean that's astonishing. That would have won gold at every games before Beijing. Powell limped over the line injured with a time which would have won gold in 1896

never really been a fan, but it has been one of the best sports i've seen in the last week particularly the womens

the men's vault final was absolutely immense

also that canada vs usa game was one of the greatest sporting occasions I've ever watched

It was. On the edge of my seat and all. Seriously could not tell who would win. (Except GB that was obvious)

Happy for Korea. Definitely deserved it. But I don't think Russia deserved gold in the unparalleled bars. IMO anyways

I LOVE GYMNASTICS

I was upset for Beth Tweddle, a bronze is still really good but she could have gotten the gold. In qualifying she was by far and away the best on uneven bars none of the other competitors came even close to her.

Yes. I was hoping she would at least get silver. Her routine was quite amazing. Really entertaining although not perfect but obviously of great difficulty. I didn't get to see what China had done so I can't say they didn't deserve their score. But idk. I just really can't see how Russia got such a high score. Perhaps I need to look at the routine again but I thought it was of the same level as many other gymnasts who didn't make the medals place. It was well executed yes but ugh i just feel it wasn't worth a 16+ score.

Also I think Blake is quite fit

[Ollie_94]

the problem with female gymnasts is although the appear quite fit they also may be 12 years old
also jessica ennis isn't as fit as people make out, she is way too toned for me an 6 pack on a girl is definitely a turn off

if this was in response to my comment; which I apologise if it isnt...

I mean Yohan Blake. The 100m sprinter guy.

[Ollie_94]

no i was just speaking my mind

[Schadenfreude-]

Okay.

I don't find many of the female athletes attractive really. I'm just not into reallyyyy athletic builds. Ennis has a cute face though.

I like the men though. Obv



Also did you see the female Bulgarian shot out athlete? Oh dear oh dear :/

[LaBonneEtoille]

I wouldn't kick Jess Ennis out of bed to be honest.

Ryan Bailey and Yohan Blake are probably the too best looking guys in the Olympics. I wouldn't mind giving Anthony Ogogo a go go geddit ... I'm sorry...

[Ali-31]

Tweddle's dismount was what did for her. If she nailed that she'd be champion.

[Ali-31]

Also talksport did release a video on YouTube about the sexiest female Olympians

And a part 2

Also anyone see bolt partying with the Swedish women's handball team at half past three this morning? Great scenes

[Schadenfreude-]

Netherlands damnnnnn

I'm not so sure. Even with a good dismount I don't think she would have come gold.



Also LOL at Chinas Sui Lu. Obv silver is not enough

[TexasCOUNTRYrc13]

The only Olympic sport I've been watching this year has been basketball. And unfortunately that's the only sport I won't cheer for Team USA. Not this year at least. I like athletes who represent their country, most of Team USA are more concerned with representing themselves

[Ollie_94]

I was watching some highlights of the cycling from last week and Philip Hindes said he crashed on purpose was this in the papers?

[Mattlj]

That was in ALL the papers, splashed across the BBC and caused outrage on the MailOnline.

[DiamondtrimSlim]

Also I think Blake is quite fit

was thinking he looks like big black lad

[Ali-31]

I saw some FailOnline commenters drawing on his German birth

chris hoy had some competition. robert forstemann's thighs!
