BBC Shocker: "Andy Murray targets Olympic gold"

I was shocked to read the BBC headline: "Andy Murray targets Olympic gold at 2012 London Games"

In this hard hitting sports report the BBC reveal:
"Andy Murray believes he has a strong chance of winning the men's singles gold medal at London 2012"

"I want to try and win a gold medal" he said.

"We have four Grand Slams every year, so we'll have 16 Grand Slams before the next Olympics" he explained.

"It's great."

"It's such a huge event and there are so many different countries and cultures."

"I chatted to a couple of the boxers from the British team, met guys doing horse riding, the handball team. You don't get that at any other event."

"There are so many different people from completely different sports with completely different skills, and having them all in one big village is pretty special."

Incredible. So they are saying that an elite athlete enters a competition with a view to winning that competition?

It's not just Andy:

Apparently it is happening in rowing too:

I have no idea how they managed to unearth such information but then I'm not a hard-hitting investigative journalist.

Ironically, in shooting and archery, no-one is doing any targetting.

Thank you Nore Staat for posting one of Andy's interviews. I am a big fan of his interviews but have been intimidated into keeping quiet about them. This is particularly hard to do as there have been so many good ones recently.

Apparently the Olypmic bears are s******g in the woods.

Seriously, does anyone actually pay these clown for this pap*. Talk about Polly Filla!

* Oh yes! We do!!

I have to say the quality of writing on the BBC webpage is god awful.

It's as if they have given up on standards.

Standards? what are they?

Just write anything, it doesn't matter if it's full of mistakes and/or doesn't make any sense and/or serves no purpose.

Isn't this all about as much use as complaining about our climate?

Wawrinka is a bad draw for him, nearly beat Murray few years ago lost in 5. Beat Murray at USO in 3rd round, can certainly do him again. I just get this feeling Murray is simply scared of Swiss players, much like Federer is scared of Nadal in slams.
