Some chap from Kazakhstan won the road race, with a guy from Colombia second.

Looking on the bright side this will be a great opportunity to play the wrong national anthem  :D

And luckily without the commentators, who must be the worst 'team' the bbc has ever put together for such an important event.

Oh good heavens yes. 'They've played Abide with Me at every FA cup since 1927' WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH 7/7 YOU TIT. (And now they haven't, it was dropped for one final, in the 70s I think. He wasn't even being clever.)

Some chap? That's Vinokourov! :wub:

Yes a deserved winner, given how hard he tried on the Tour to win a stage and the somewhat sad story I heard about him drinking in the bar alone, the night before the last time trial.

Watching the Chinese girl come from behind in the 400 IM was amazing.  Passed the American favourite like she was dead in the water.  Best moment so far.  Cant imagine how she was able to put on that kind of spurt at the end.

Who knew there were so many blacks in ancient agrarian Britain?

Even in those days blacks were an urban phenomena specializing in music.

Cool story Viking.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I was down at Poole harbour this evening, 15 miles N.E. of the Olympic sailing venue of Weymouth, and there was a nice stiff Westerly blowing, surface somewhat choppy.

There's an American volleyball player named Destinee Hooker. That's a bit of overkill, don't you think?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Thank hod for the Olympics.  I got reminded today by Yahoo about Leryn Franco.

That you needed to be reminded disgusts me.
