Mate, she is a successful British Athlete. There are a lot of Brits in this thread.

Put 2 and 2 together.

Obvious but bouncing through gaf threads sometimes you can't recognize everything.

 

[Leonsito]

brits winning long jump? was the american projected to win that one?

Goodwin is the favorite.

 

[Wes]

brits winning long jump? was the american projected to win that one?

Any one of 10 started with a chance. No clear favourite. Wide open this year.

 

[Mastadon]

I think Ennis may, just may, win Sports Personality of the Year...

Probably Wiggins. It's nice to have some legit options for SPOTY though!

 

[Adamm]

I really hope one day some one over shoots the sand in long jump.

 

[Diprosalic]

remember when the brits where complaining about the lack of medals? now they're only 7 golds behind the incredible Beijing result and more than a week to go. and they might add another one in a couple of minutes.

 

[MrPing1000]

I think Ennis may, just may, win Sports Personality of the Year...

Has to be Wiggins.

 

[perfectchaos007]

You know the US usually gets over 100 medals right? And the olympics are only about half over with no more swimming medals in play.

There's still 2 more swimming medals I think. Mens and womens 10K

 

[Lucius86]

I think Ennis may, just may, win Sports Personality of the Year...

Nope, wiggins has that in the bag already.

 

[mclem]

A posh Wolverhampton accent, is such a thing possible? I know my accent isnt anywhere close to being posh. lol

My sisters went to school with her. They're always slightly amused about how un-Wolverhampton she sounds now!

 

[fuenf]

Would've been too great for us to win a medal. We probably won't win one in long jump. German commentators seem to have no idea whatsoever where she was disqualified.

tv pictures dont show anything, this will be interesting, i want to see the german coach with a bundle of cash asap

 

[Psychotext]

Has to be Wiggins.

Aye, Ennis is prettier though.

 

[Diprosalic]

Has to be Wiggins.

Murray!

 

[kharma45]

Probably Wiggins. It's nice to have some legit options for SPOTY though!

Has to be Wiggins.

See I thought he would but I dunno, everyone seems to adore Ennis.

 

[ezrarh]

Don't know why the other girls are still walking around the track.

 

[Adamm]

Murray!

John Terry!

 

[Bleepey]

Dat abs!

Dat ass, she made me draw blood.

 

[justjohn]

The difference between Michael Johnson and Colin Jackson with regards to punditry is like and day. I hope they're not paid the same.

 

[mrklaw]

I never knew Doogie Howser was good at jumping

 

[Wes]

Mo time soon!

Can Greg hold on?

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

Why is Ennis so popular? Does she have an amazing personality or something?

It's the abs.

 

[Kikujiro]

So I'm catching with the weightlifting, that Kazakh guy was a total beast. He made the WR so easily, he could probably lift much more.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Has to be Wiggins.

It'd be nice for a woman to win this year but Wiggins is a real character.

 

[LTWheels]

How well did KJT do overall?

 

[Dance Inferno]

Be still my beating heart. What event does she compete in?

 

[GhostWriter24]

Is Rupp in this race?

 

[mclem]

I think Ennis may, just may, win Sports Personality of the Year...

It's going to be tight between her and Wiggins, I suspect.

 

[duderon]

Epic race coming up!!

Is Rupp in this race?

Yessir.

 

[mrklaw]

remember when the brits where complaining about the lack of medals? now they're only 7 golds behind the incredible Beijing result and more than a week to go. and they might add another one in a couple of minutes.

How many cycling events were dropped since Beijing?

 

[mxgt]

Greg so close to gold in Long Jump, cmoooon

 

[MrPing1000]

Be still my beating heart. What event does she compete in?

lol thats Jessica Ennis, Heptathlon. She just won it.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

233kg (513 lbs) WR made to look so easy. this WR is only 5 kg below the world record in the weight class above him. beast.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Ryan Giggs on in the final 5 minutes of GBR vs. KOR

lol thats Jessica Ennis, Heptathlon. She just won it.

Much obliged.

 

[Meadows]

It'll be Wiggins

 

[bud]

Be still my beating heart. What event does she compete in?

the one that's currently taking place in my pants.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Long Jump flag man gets so much screen time.

 

[weekend_warrior]

mens 10k coming up.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Lets go Mohamed.

Settle this

 

[GhostWriter24]

GO RUPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[justjohn]

Probably Wiggins. It's nice to have some legit options for SPOTY though!

Think they should have a separate men and women awards.

 

[MrPing1000]

233kg (513 lbs) WR made to look so easy

All other countries are little girls.

 

[elty]

Woman weightlifting has 7 weight class, but each country can only send 4 people to compete in 4 events (1 per event max).

Perhaps swimming can copy this, so that each country can only 1 swimmer per event for 15 individual events (out of 28).

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Great Britain's next gold medal coming up.

 

[duderon]

Rupp as the upset!

USA!

 

[Psychotext]

233kg (513 lbs) WR made to look so easy. this WR is only 5 kg below the world record in the weight class above him. beast.

Yeah, he's not even human.

 

[ezrarh]

Let's go Galen!

 

[NekoFever]

I think Ennis may, just may, win Sports Personality of the Year...

The bookies don't even think it's close.

 

[Withnail]

If Murray gets two golds in the tennis (admittedly a long shot) he would definitely be a strong alternative to Wiggins for SPOTY.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I can't even fucking lie.. Britain has the cute Black girl populace on lockdown.

Lock. Down.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

Enough with the celebrations...already...

We blew 14 billion bux on this shit, if we wanna gloat, we'll damn well gloat.

GB medals by location
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/demos/medal-map/

Sheffield has a high concentration of gold! Closest to me is Kristian Thomas and his bronze in Team Gymnastics.

The north, gave britain the industrial revolution, the tudors and fucktons of golds. Rest of country why u so shit?
