The Olympics 2012

[Brogan]

That's a good point which I had overlooked.

I believe though they are aiming for 1 more medal than China, which would be 49?

When the "dead cert" (Cavendish) doesn't get one though, it doesn't look likely.

With my best journalistic skills, I offer the headline from the BBC:

"London 2012: Olympics venues stuffed - Lord Coe"

Has Coe only just realised this?

 

[mjo]

The road race on BBC1 now - we might win a medal!!!

Why don't the ladies bikes have a low cross bar?

 

[Dizzi]

Can we get a medal here??! C'mon Armitstead

 

[Brogan]

Woohoo!

Our first medal.

 

[Dizzi]

Oh so close to the gold but well done lass!!

Paula Radcliffe ruled out of the women's marathon at London 2012 because of "medical reasons"

 

[FB]

Thank heavens for that. Would have been embarrassing for such a great athlete to make a fool of herself in the marathon which is what would almost certainly have happened.

I'm all set now, Womens diving, Sharapova in tennis then the brit women play Beach volleyball.

Good afternoon I think!

 

[F1Yorkshire]

The sun finally came out over the beach volleyball court and the Brit girls won a very close game over the Canadians. Cracking game to watch!

 

[Jen]

Did you enjoy the sport F1Yorkshire?

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Of course why else would I be watching 4 girls running around in bikinis

 

[Porceliamone]

Nice win for the British ladies. I was watching every...moment, very closely.

 

[MCLS]

GB women hockey team going very well against Japan!

 

[Brogan]

A round up of how Great Britain is doing at the end of day two.

Got to say after watching a few matches I'm a little jealous of anyone who has beach volleyball tickets. Apart from the obvious assets, the sport is pretty exciting to watch and the whole venue seems to have a great party atmosphere. Looks like a really fun place to be.

I even searched for tickets, and there's some men's tickets left towards the end of the tournament. I decided not to buy them for some reason.

 

[FB]

Do the men wear man-kinis?

 

[sushifiesta]

No, they don't. Why do you think I didn't buy the tickets?

Well done Rebecca Adlington for winning a bronze medal in the 400m freestyle (swimming).
