KJT had at least 20cm if she hit the board

Another gold in the rowing!
Woohoo! Third in the medal table.

 

[Jos the Boss]

The Golden 10! I think we got 19 at Beijing!

 

[MCLS]

Just beaten the amount of golds we got at Athens in 2004!

 

[Brogan]

This is how it stands as at midday on Saturday.

 

[MCLS]

Australia are having a really poor games so far

 

[F1Yorkshire]

The wheels have fallen off one of the brit rowing boats. Touch and go if they will be allowed to restart.

 

[MCLS]

Just missed out on a gold Shows how good we are that we're disappointed with silver!

 

[Brogan]

To be fair, the Danes deserved that as they rowed a hell of a lot further in the first aborted race.

Bugger me, that brought a lump to the throat. Redgrave helping the crew to walk off the pontoon. John Inverdale crying after the interview. Phew.... Is it smokey in here or what?

 

[F1Yorkshire]

One more 100m heat then a certain Mr Bolt will be making his 1st appearance in heat 4. Will he run backwards just for fun?

 

[MCLS]

He could moonwalk backwards and still win!

 

[Brogan]

This signal in beach volleyball apparently means she will block both the angles on both sides on the next point.

For those of you wondering who those cheeks belong to, it's Kacie Mactavish of Canada.

 

[F1ang-o]

under pressure..........

 

[F1Yorkshire]

He just jogged, looked around to make sure he was just in front and that will do.

 

[Brogan]

Let's hope he doesn't false start again.
That would be a major disappointment.

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Yeah not a good way to lose.

You may have noticed a change in avatar, inspired by Brogans earlier post. This particular rear belongs to Zara Dampney of Team GB!

 

[Brogan]

I much prefer that idea to The Pits

 

[F1ang-o]

Wow..............Gemili
