    Enjoyed the 10,000 metre final there. The way the top Africans kick on and leave whitey in the dust with about 300 to go is just bonkers.

    They seem to be the only athletes who don't look suicidal when they win silver and bronze, too.

    I noticed this trend in recent football finals of people ripping runner-up medals from their neck the second they receive them, it's a properly nasty trend.

    Were England players doing it? I can't remember exactly what event it was when I saw it but assume it was the final of the Euros, either way it looked proper wrong.

    A lot of the England players did it after the Euro final (sorry, after their miserable failure in putting in only the 2nd best ever tournament performance for their nation), but I noticed pretty much every single Man U player doing it when they lost to Villarreal.

    I think it depends. If you get an Olympic silver then you ought to be happy with it (unless you should have won/some coward cost you the gold), but losing to Real Chorizo in a Europe League final leave your 'medal' on the bus you loser.

    It's a weird groupthink thing. Brandon Williams isn't doing it if Luke Shaw isn't doing it if Pogba isn't doing it etc. Don't want to be the only loser stood there with a lame silver medal.

    An email went round at work today about a couple of French blokes that won gold in Tokyo. That must go a long way into the glee over any medal. Footballers are set for life at a certain level. If you're rowing, shooting or whatever you've still got a day job.

    The golf is actually really nicely poised for tomorrow. Any of about 10 could win gold.

    Actually even if it is a team thing I still hope the little orange cunt doesn’t get anywhere near it.

    Individual, it's just a normal tournament. Also I'm pretty sure he's one of your lot at heart. And a lovely man.

    He’s always said he’s more British than Irish. I’ve no problem with that, he’s from the UK, but play for them then.

    I’d seen reference to an Irish golf ‘team’. That’s why I was unsure of the format.

    There's him and Lowry playing for Ireland, who would have practised together etc, so it's a team of sorts. And presumably Leona Maguire in the women's.

    A team event would probably be better actually.

    lol at Dominican Republic beating USA at the line for silver in the mixed 4 x 400m relay.

    Poland winning it with an Olympic record

    Also, the weightlifting has been banging today. Guy fucks his knee up on his second lift but comes back out almost immediately and lifts enough to secure himself a bronze medal.

    A Venezuelan lad lifts big to secure himself silver at the worst but two of the judges say no lift but he and his coaches are celebrating too much to see and thus don't get a challenge in. The jury steps in and decides to review it themselves but they don't give it to him. Harsh really as I thought it was a good lift, there was movement in his wrists but his elbows were locked.

    Qatari guy wins gold with his first lift in the clean and jerk because he slapped everyone in the snatch and then decides to lift enough to take the Olympic record on his second lift. He did attempt a world record with his third lift but he wasn't close sadly.

    Golf is above the usual grammar laws.

    It is a lexical God.

    Thought it was funny how the three Jamaican women's 100m medalists clearly hate each other. Barely a word of congrats or even acknowledgement of each other immediately post race.

    I think Jackson and Fraser-Pryce like each other as they were next to each other constantly after the race but there's clearly tension with Thompson-Herah.

    They just went over to her about a minute after tapped her on the back and walked off.

    Also it's getting spicy in the rowing world.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...bler-quit.html

    Cracknell has gone in on the current crop by saying there are no leaders on the regatta and some of them have said that he and some other former winners are too smug.

    https://inews.co.uk/sport/olympics/t...-games-1129043

    You've also got one rower piling in on the former coach (who has coached rowers to at least a medal at every Olympics from 1972-2016 bar 1984 due to boycotts):

    Bugajski said: “I’m going to be brave and say something the crew don’t want me to say. I popped a bottle of champagne when Jurgen retired. I had three very dark years under him.

    “I will admit (Jurgen) is a good coach to some people but there were people that he seemed to take a disliking to and what he did to them was destroy them, destroy their soul, destroy everything.”

    And other rowers have fired back at him saying there was nothing wrong with the coaching.

    I know a fair bit about the rowing world (my brother raced for GB at the junior worlds) and I can tell you it's chock full of absolute psychopaths. Not winning medals and being roundly mocked/hated (for their funding level vs more accessible sports) will turn them into spitting cobras in a nest.

    I was more referring to pulling out of the doubles because he was having a massive sulk about losing in the singles.

    Given that his sulks involve chucking racquets, good call.

    He is from Brisbane so it is fair to assume he is a bogan, however Banter haircuts are all the rage in pro sports at the moment unfortunately. The AFL is chock full of them ATm.

    Djokovic is great. Proper Slav mentality. He's definitely a magic crystals / astrology idiot but he's actually the best player of all time

    My assumption is that everyone playing in the AFL is a bogan, so this tracks.

    You're not fair off.

    Our 100m sprinter is also donning one as well.



    He beat Yohan Blake in his heat.

    So many unexpected gold medals for Australia (more importantly from QLD) this Olympics.

    Edit: First time Australia has won 4 gold medals in a day.
