Do they really give a medal for tennis mixed doubles or are they playing for fun?

 

[Zaph]

Redgrave is doing a lot of unpaid extra work this Olympics, isn't he?

He's an ambassador of greatness. Required by law to be there.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Gatlin is fast

 

[Dennis]

So GB is a bit of a cheater nation huh?

New this Olympics, I think.

 

[Wes]

Why would they not give a medal for a competitive sport?

 

[bjaelke]

No reason to go all out in the 100m 1st round.

 

[Nolan.]

Yeah there's a medal

 

[Juicy Bob]

Gatlin gunned it.

 

[LTWheels]

Redgrave is still a beast of a man. He still looks massive, even compared to the rowers he was carrying.

 

[justjohn]

Colin Jackson is a terrible awful pundit.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Damn, red card for Egypt... a bit closer and that would have been a penalty too.

edit: referee signals penalty anyway lol
edit2: now the referee signals free kick wtf lol

And the only good thing to come out of Denmark is bacon.

(bacon is a good export btw)

 

[danwarb]

Gaitlin gunned it.

Better without dope.

 

[Tc91]

Jeeze at them crying you got a silver FFs

That's why I hate these rowing interviews they are so depressing.

 

[Simplet]

Mixed doubles is usually considered the "comedic relief" of tennis competitions, I was just wondering.

DANISH GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANISH GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANISH GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a pack of expensive premium condoms..

 

[Pacbois]

9.97 for Gatlin and with stopping his effort before the lane. Damn

 

[Akyan]

Even the BBC host was cracking after the interview with the rowers. He was supportive though, and a silver is still a very good result even if they're disappointed.

 

[LTWheels]

Jeeze at them crying you got a silver FFs

At least they are not like our swimmers 'happy to take part'.

Denmark gave the world LEGO. Respect.

 

[Nolan.]

Aww KJ-T bless her she's so cute that girl

 

[Good Job Bob]

Pretty good throw by KTJ.

 

[iceatcs]

Real Danishs here?
Or just anti-british - something I never see it before.

 

[bjaelke]

(rowing)
Czech girl is killing it in the single scull final.

 

[Jezbollah]

Oh FUCK!

Ok that's two. Two pretty big ones.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Katarina Johnson-Thompson <3

 

[Keyser Soze]

JT beat the nasty jarverlin!!

 

[Nolan.]

Oh wow go Louise Hazel

 

[EndcatOmega]

If she finishes the race before everyone else hits the halfway line, does she win Gold and Silver, or does she just get Platinum?

 

[Xun]

Poor British pair.

I can't believe they thought they'd let everyone down.

A silver was a good result.

 

[user_nat]

Rowing domination at the moment.

 

[LTWheels]

Hazel's roar, brilliant!

 

[Jezbollah]

Usain Bolt alert, appearing in a few minutes in heat 4.

 

[bjaelke]

If she finishes the race before everyone else hits the halfway line, does she win Gold and Silver, or does she just get Platinum?

She'll get a mechanical just so she can beat them again.

 

[Linkified]

Whats up with all these spoil spots in the Womens Heptathlon just not starting.

 

[Impeccable]

You can have rowing for now... Canada owns it up with horses.

 

[dejay]

She's a machine.

 

[mclem]

Rowing domination at the moment.

Been looking through the all-time figures. We're only behind two nations in the all-time rowing performance figures now... and one of those is East Germany.

That said, unless they add a ton more rowing events, it'll take us quite a few Olympics to overhaul the US in #2.

 

[Alx]

Eh, I didn't know about the mechanical failure thing before entering the thread to congratulate Denmark.. it was a tense and great finish for a race, all ruling arguments can't change anything about that.

 

[Falifax]

For the love of God, 7 second lead? Go girl!

 

[Balehead]

9.88 daym

 

[Nolan.]

It's gonna be USA Vs Jamaica all over again in 100m and relay

 

[Gareth Bale]

Wow Bailey is very fast

 

[Keyser Soze]

Usain Bolt alert, appearing in a few minutes in heat 4.

False start, anyone?

 

[Jezbollah]

Wow, Ryan Bailey 9.88 (albeit wind assisted).

This is a FAST track.

 

[EndcatOmega]

She'll get a mechanical just so she can beat them again.

Maybe row to Rio so she can win 2016 early.

Danish bacon is a bit shit anyway really, British bacon is far superior in every way

 

[nny]

(Rowing)

I keep hoping for one of those cyclists to fall in the water. :/

I say bring it! Could be a rivalry for the ages.
