Thank god I don't have Foxtel, I would have fully broken down by now.
and in other news, Aussies leading from the start in the cycling, loses to the yanks in the heat. Classic.

Going for WR 5 on the bounce

If its any consolation. The Russians and Japanese are doing a pretty good job of silver and bronze finishes. Prob better than you guys, or worse I guess depending on how you look at it.

Watching all this british success in cycling makes me want to start it up again ><. :D. Probably a good idea because of all the uni alcohol weight i've put on....

Perhaps you could go to that France thread and discuss your contempt there.
Edit:lol How is this is a France vs UK fight ? A lot of person here who are not from France (actually most of the criticisms came from non-french posters...) supported that what UK athlethes have done was not fair and was not in the spirit of the competition (still, surprisingly, did not find any non british person to support the behaviour of the british ??) Well let's stop here, I just hope there will not be any more controversial behaviour from any competitors of any countries, and if there is, they will be DQ
Too late, Another English controversial move happened now in mens rowing. They got a bad start and forced a restart.

Basically, at the end of these games, I want Australia to be AT LEAST higher in the medal tally than Kazakstan. I'm not hoping for much, just that.

Should have gone a little slower, now they have to go stupidly fast to break the WR again.

Five rides with a WR every time is insane! Are they sandbagging?

Well, There's still cycling, so hopefully we can get at least one gold from that, and Hockey's looking good. and then there's hurdles, and I think we've a chance for long jump. All in all, it's not a hopeless wish.
