Italy takes the first set after Russia went ahead towards the end.

No.
Well I definitely would. If I already had the record, I wouldn't care.
I really don't. I'm voicing how annoying it can look to an ignorant spectator.
I don't like the cycling now because we're not winning.
No point in arguing with them. Everyone who watches tennis regularly knows that the Slams are everything. When talking about great tennis players in the past, nobody is going to bring up the Olympics. They don't even play 5 sets until the Final. Same thing with basketball, same thing with football. An Olympic gold is always just an icing on the cake.
That said, winning gold in front of your home crowd is definitely very meaningful, especially when he lost in the final in the same venue just a month ago.

don't think he can pull anything back if he doesn't do to well in this.

No, still a chance, but it got more difficult.
Very slim, sorry. He placed worse than I expected.
Technically there's every chance, but I don't think Clancy wanted to come 10th in that race.
That was crazy!

Would have been crazy if China won like that.

you don't have to watch tennis regularly to realise how important the slams are.
I'm still sticking to my point that the Olympics only come around every 4 years, and on home soil is a once in a career (if you're lucky) event.
Of course a Grand Slam is more important in the overall career sense and strictly looking at ranking points given, but it'd be foolish to think that Andy won't look back on the Olympic Gold in London as a defining and stand out moment in his career.
anyway yeah, let's end this and not shit up the thread
go cycling!
But France has a chance, right?
They get two "warm up" heats before the sprint starts, so they're playing a mind game.
Absolutely.
Just the tactics they use. See who will jump first. You can sprint off immediately if you want and it does sometimes happen but if you run out of steam you gonna lose.
He's very strong in the 1km TT, the last event.

Well, you get points for where you finish. ie. 1st = 1pt, 2nd = 2pts, 10th = 10pts. So if he's 4 behind the leader, then in the final event if he gets 1st he'll need the current leader to get 5th or worst to tie.
