[gnasher16 30,121]

Some pics from todays fantastic slalom............yea Gold and Silver!!!!!

 

The pics of them in the boats are from a couple of days ago.

 

Didnt see these......................great pictures there mate well done

[lanesra 3,994]

What a fantastic few days of sport we,re having im really enjoying it......few disappointments.... a few surprises.......controversy,great achievements..................everything we love about top level sport..............some of it i aint got the foggiest idea whats going on but still find myself roaring on the Brits

 

I cant for the life of me work out why as a nation we are so succesful at cycling ???.......rowing/boat type events i can see that being an island race......but cycling

I bet the prats who were saying about " underachieving Brits " are feeling a bit daft..........19 odd medals at this stage !!....and thats not even 100% fulfilling potential......think if Cavendish,Daly....the cycling girls getting disq etc etc had all gone our way as well.....f**k what them miserable b*****ds say we are still a great sporting nation !

Cycling has always been popular over here , though since Cavendish put the Isle Of Man on the map throughout the world because off his success winning stages in the Tour De France , lots have taken up the sport over here , for every 1 person knockin our Athletes there's thousands supporting them !

Few cycling clubs in my town mate, in fact my old man was in one when he was younger.

Cyclings very popular, always passing guys on bikes. It's maybe harder in the city of London though, maybe why you don't see so many. It's certainly not for me lol.

I won a mountain bike a few year back in some raffle. Lay in my kitchen for months, still in package. Eventually sold it for 150 to a mate lol

[just jack 998]

Always been a fan of The Olympics but with it being in this country it holds that little "something" that being British WE ALL LOVE !! Athletes must get such a buzz, loving it I am truth be told.

Let's not forget big Ben ainsley. The Dane made a complaint. Yesterday. Ben said don't make me angry. You won't like me when am angry lol. So today. Not only did he win , when miles ahead with the Dane in second Ben spilled the wind and slowed down. Got in front of the Dane to steal the Danes boats wind letting the Dutch boat gain second place , then Ben tacked and Went on to win , That what you get when you upset big Ben lol lol

All square. Going into the final tenth race on sat know. We're. My money is going

You are right about the London bit, and I think that's why they are based in Manchester. Firstly because of the veledrome but secondly within a 15 min cycle they have the pennines for all the hill work they need to train hard. We often see them crossing the pennines.

She has to fight a girl from either Kazikstan or Kenya in the quarter finals on Thursday, Natasha Jones is fighting an American tomorrow and Nicola Adams fights on Monday.
