Greengrass 201 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I,d disagree there mate about the lions, my cousin does all the rugby tours as he,s a sports photographer, been on many Scottish, English, Lions tours and reckons the Lions at the moment are very poor by previous standards, New Zealand and South Africa would be better than us at the moment, my opinion not his Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fazza123 516 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 British fencing had its biggest disappointment yet with a complete blow-out in the men's foil at the ExCeL on Tuesday morning. Britain's David Florence saw his canoe slalom C1 medal hopes come to an end on Tuesday after finishing outside the cut-off for the final. Great Britain's Rajiv Ouseph and Susan Egelstaff both saw their respective Olympic bids come to an end in the badminton singles on Tuesday. Great Britain's men came within touching distance of an Olympic victory over Brazil but fell away at the end against the South Americans. Great Britain's Shauna Mullin and Zara Dampney suffered a heavy defeat to Italy in their second preliminary phase match at Horse Guards Parade. Great Britain missed out on further equestrian eventing medals in the individual competition as Germany's Michael Jung made history by taking gold. Britons Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow failed in their quest for a medal on Tuesday as China continued their dominance of the diving pool. You started it GTE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You started it GTE Britains Lizzie Neave though, is currently online for a medal if she can keep it together in the womens K1. This would be great if she can pull it off, as she wasnt really expected to get one. The mens C2 has also got potential for David Florence again, although Britains Tim Ballie and Etienne Stott probably stand a better chance. C'mon GB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wiggins will defo get a gold tomorrow at least . Don't kid your self on the back of a gruling tour de France. This is the Olympics every one ups the game even golden boy phelps has come a cropper it's. A more complicated scenario. Than you can explain on here , the human is a very complicated machine the mind and body don't all ways work in tandem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't help when the commentator at the event, builds up the home athletes so much. At todays slalom the american commentator on the course, using a microphone for all the crowd and David Florence to hear built him up so much. That for me is too much pressure of the wrong type and I think it has a negative affect. If the press layed off them as well, they might do a little better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People often do better when their back is up against the wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
