The Olympics 2012

[Speshal]

And another Gold and Silver in the canoe pairs.

Brogan, legs move in mysterious ways.

 

[MCLS]

The medals starting to flood in now, good to see, up to fifth in the medal table!

 

[Jos the Boss]

DSQ'd for a change out of place?

 

[Porceliamone]

Men's cycling sprint in the velodrome - GB just broke the WR in the heats! Yes!

DSQ'd for a change out of place?

The same things has just happened to China in the final! Must be devastating for both the pairs involved, sport is cruel sometimes.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Poor China...

 

[Brogan]

So the British cyclists were disqualified for an illegal changeover yet the Chinese were just relegated for the same offence and get to keep a silver medal.

How does that work?

 

[Jos the Boss]

GB were relegated as well, they were DSQ'd from the race I think

 

[Brogan]

If the Chinese did an illegal changeover then they should be disqualified which means no medal.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I think they get the same punishment, just worded differently, because GB technically came 6th I think

 

[Mephistopheles]

 

[Porceliamone]

omfg...GOLD and a WR!!!

 

[Porceliamone]

Incredible from Team GB in the sprint!

 

[Jos the Boss]

5 for Sir Chris!

Just watching some tennis at work with the stunning Miss Sharapova. I've got a question relating to the outfits so I'm hoping someone will know the answer.

During the main Wombledon competition all players have to wear white due to rules of the All England club or something along those lines. How come these Olympic athletes are allowed to other colours?

 

[Brogan]

The Wimbledon rules only apply at Wimbledon.

Speaking of outfits, the Spanish women's beach volleyball players almost have one...

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Apparently the outfits for the Heptathletes are smaller than the beach volleyball ones in surface area.

Well done Sir Chris, He took quarter a second off the time on his lap alone. Stunning.

Nice win the girls are now top of group A with 3 for 3. China to play in 2 days time. Then Netherlands who are also 3 for 3.

Brogan GB did the illegal manouvre in the rond of right teams, so they were relegated, not DQ'd, to eighth (the last position in that round). China did the illegality in the final, so could only be relegated to second.
Hope that helps .
