2008 Beijing Olympics

VP and Guo are developing a bit of a rivalry, and I like rivalry.

Guo looks fairly determined…http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/73756587.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1930EC3535F149CDF2315F9E34A85C85A39284831B75F48EF45

Steve Waugh on the Poms vs Diggers rivalry, "Mate, I know it's not going to help your story, but I'm just here to see good sport," Waugh said yesterday. "They've prepared really well, put a lot of money and effort in. I want to see Australia win, and I certainly don't like being beaten by the Poms, but there's no sour grapes."

a pretty funny read... for both sides.

Cycling is on again!

Hoy makes it look easy at 70kph..

OMG Kenny killed Levy!! You bastard!!

I'm saying you beat us because you have Scottish, Welsh, Belgian (Wiggans :P) and Irish riders and most importantly an Aussie coach. 'You English' are a minor part in the medal haul :P

Oi! Don't forget the Manx.

Hoy should take a handicap to give Kenny a fair chance at the gold. Perhaps drop 20 GI?

Yeah good on her. Looks unlikely though as she just lost the first heat.
Must be so difficult to come back from something like that!

i think pendleton is going to win the women's sprint, but fuck i hope Anna Meares gets a medal after reading this: http://www.theage.com.au/news/cycling/miracle-meares-eyes-gold/2008/08/18/1218911591162.html

Tony Blair has come to watch in the velodrome.

"I know a lot of people are talking about the Poms and they've certainly put some runs on the board," Lancaster told The Australian newspaper.
"But remember: nothing's better for an Aussie than beating the Poms."

loving the cricket metaphor too !

Personally I think Hugh Porter is one of the better cycling commentators around....and he certainly knows his track "stuff"...and so he should, being a four time world pursuit champion.

fair enough mate...personally i think he's pretty annoying..i don't like his turn of phrase!

That's 14 medals won by British cyclists now.

Chinese bird DOWN!
