First topic message reminder :

Day 13 of the Games. Chances for gold today include Kerri Anne Payne in the 10k open water swim, Charlotte Dujardin in the individual dressage, Nicola Adams in the boxing and the men's 470 in the sailing. Really looking to put extra distance between us and the Russians today. But, in a digression from what I normally do, but I'm sure you will excuse me this once.............

COME ON KATIE TAYLOR! YOU'RE INDESTRUCTIBLE!

What I find unbelievable is that there are regular posters here applauding the performance of a horse dancing to Elgar...

And then in the same post commenting on a sport where the objective is to kick someone in the head

Only in the Olympics Very Happy

The most diverse afternoon of sport ever?

Dancing horses
Hockey
BMX riding / crashing
Kicking your opponent up side the head
Yachtsmen bobbing gently in Weymouth harbour but not making much progress because of the lack of wind.

Has anyone commented yet on Laura Trott revealing that she and Jason Kenny have been a couple for a while?

Both lovely people and potential-if-not-already-legends, and I wish them the best... If it all goes well, just imagine how damn quickly their kids will be able to zip around a track? [Surely breeding can't be the next innovative step in British Cycling's long-term strategy to remain world-beaters???]

If she loses this I vote we all head to the arena and riot...only won that round by 3? Deary me the scoring is laughable....out of interest i would be intrigued to know why they don't utilise the system in place in the Taekwondo...

She looks so good...a bout between her and Katie Taylor would be a cracker.

Haha that is the definition of bad scoring...

She won the last round which she dominated by only 3...then that round where it was pretty scrappy she won by 4 ....

Well I suppose she is at least winning!!

Come on GB...Gold number two of the day..and who said things were stalling!!
