[Napoleonthechimp]

Now this boat is a favourite!

I hope they get gold for their sake. They've wanted it for quite some time.

 

[3Sixty]

Katarina Johnson-Thompson is so cute <3

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Imagine if she gets another silver.

An English article please. I think German articles may be biased...

lol i'm not going to spent my time searching for articles, tbh i dont even care about you or what you think (or anyone else for that matter, it's not like anyone has any say on the matter or meaningful influence to change things). this might be a good read for you though: http://www.fencing.net/forums/thread57865.html

they (more knowledge people) are basically arguing back and forth. have fun.

DON'T EVEN MENTION IT

also i feel like the scots are performing far better than the rest of team gb so far. COME ON GRAINGER

 

[Meadows]

I wish our swimmers were as determined as our rowers. Grainger is so fucking determined to get a gold

That's an article from Austria. That's like saying a Canadian newspaper will write a biased article about something USA-related - just because it is written in English.

Jessica Ennis is the hottest of everyone in Track & Field events

Getting frequent buffering pauses on the BBC Olympic player today. Anyone else?

An English article please. I think German articles may be biased...

To be fair, I think that line of reasoning (she accepted the restart from the ref) is the justification that was used to reject the appeals. Whether or not you accept that justification or think it's a bit weaselly is another matter irrespective of which language an article is written in.

This situation isn't as bad as the '72 basketball fiasco, but it does leave a definite sour taste.

Moving on!

Too few curves for my liking.

 

[killer_clank]

COME ON GB!

GOLD! YOU CAN DO IT!

 

[LTWheels]

Common Girls!

 

[Meadows]

please win this, please win this,

not just for GB, but for Grainger

 

[killer_clank]

please win this, please win this,

not just for GB, but for Grainger

she really deserves it if she can pull this off

 

[Xun]

Come on GB!

 

[Kobalty]

So our female runner "cox" is an American WTF!!!!

 

[LTWheels]

Australia looks too close to my liking.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I don't know why so few rowers don't go full-on beast mode from the start. You'll tire out in the end but that wouldn't be a problem if you open up a huge lead, it'd be a problem if the others are as good as you and have the same tactic...

She really is amazing.

Some people don have the stamina to do that. Some are better as sprinters by keeping in the shoulder of the leader to the end, then going for it.

 

[Zaph]

Come on girls!

 

[Kurtofan]

France-Sweden quarter finals (football) is on!

The same reason 400m and up runners don't sprint the first 100-200m. They'd be slower over the course.

don't choke don't choke don't choke

 

[killer_clank]

COME ON GRAINGER AND WATKINS
