How the hell did the mountain biking get postponed because of rain. Rain makes it better, not worse.

HTFU the fucking lot of them.

it's certainly all that's required to get you biting, yes

i find australia losing is far more effective than anything you say. it's like taking away their 'raison d'etre'

not quite.

take their BBQs, then you have stolen their raison d'etre

you may beat us at the olympics but we still have our bbq's!

yeah, lovely ring to it.

Did anyone see the mens 10k open water swim last night . . stayed up for the BMX then got hooked into it by accident . . . fucking insane, every other athlete in the games needs to HTFU compared to them, British dude who took silver needed to be stretchered off

I can honestly say that I didn't see this coming. Apparently the horses are on drugs.

On a side note, which poor bastard has the job of collecting equine urine samples?

Yes I caught some of that and I did think at the time how fucking tough those guys were. The pace they were going at, and for 6 odd miles! Mental

Just turn the TV on, the rain just got heavier! ;p

oh bollox its finished. Watching half-naked wet birds jumping around in the sand was doing wonders for my hangover

carnage in the bird's nest today!

• jeremy wariner, who is usually untouchable in the 400m, was beaten in the final after running nearly 1.5s slower than his PB
  
• the USA men's and women's 4x100m relay teams, both hot medal favourites, BOTH dropped the baton in their semi-finals.
  
• GB men 4x100m relay team disqualified.
  
• triple jump favourite Idowu beaten.
  
• reigning olympic 800m champion Yuri Borzakovskiy failed to make the final.
  
  

big news all around.

The 400m was class. The guy who came thrird dived across the line landing on his face. To be honest though I thought he had had a heart attach and colapsed. Luckely he was ok and it was just a good comedy moment.

(loving the tags BTW)

GB appeal disqualification in 4x100m, FAIL!!!
