The French guy was trying to punch the other guy in the dick.
Important update: Twitter has confirmed - and Adrian and Andy have reported - that it was a coot. I repeat, it was a coot.

If you mean road cycling, then each rider did have GPS. It just didn't work because the massive amount of spectators using their mobiles jammed the signals... (or so they IOC said)

Jessica Roux of South Africa quits marathon.
What does that mean? We hate floppers that's for sure.
Any of Irish-GAF spot this on RTÉ last night?
In television terms lol means Live Online.
The French participant was feeling a sense of disillusionment and ennui at the flamboyant theatrics displayed by the Spanish team and so took it upon himself to dish out a gallant display of poetic justice in showing the Spaniard how life can mimic art.
He got hit in the nuts lol
I was just smirking at the name TBH
I'll never watch 'man getting hit by football' the same way again.

This marathon swim, bloody hell... 200 lengths and you can't even grab onto the sides of the pool. I would've drowned aaaages ago.
Not to bring back the debate about which sports should/shouldn't be in the olympics, and how many pool events there are. But if there was ever a swimming event that would be tailor-made for Team GB Gold, it'd be the 'Collecting the black brick from the bottom of the pool' challenge (could even have it at various depths). Also, the fastest person to take off their pyjama bottoms and turn them into a floatation device. (actually, do any other countries practice these life/brick saving skills in school, or is it just the brits?)

we need more FPS games
Say what you like about Rhythmic Gymnastics, but it's great TV. Very little down time between competitors. Beats heads bobbing in water for hours.
I saw this on EuroSport and the commentator went on about how shameful the flop was for about 10 minutes, even after he saw it wasn't a flop. Would not back down.

Which is what the ref is there for. Punching someone in the nuts is hardly what I'd deem an appropriate, proportional response.
It's something an 8 year old would do when they throw a tantrum.
They should put a fat OAP in the middle of the pool and make the swimmers circumnavigate him. The first person to do so wins. And if you forget a pound for the locker then you don't get to swim.

That's why Kurt can't see anything wrong with it.
You really hate me for some reason.
Our high school swimming carnivals finished with lifesaving events like throw rescues, towing relays and the survival stroke medley which had breaststroke, sidestroke, survival backstroke and freestyle.

Not hate, pity.
You've always been arrogant.

Bah!!!...after a few glorious days, looks like Team GB has settled back into the familiar 'plucky failure' comfort blanket.
Keri-Anne Payne was supposed to win this swim marathon, she's the world champ...send her to the fucking gulag, loser.

Wow, it's just sports.

Maybe they could put one in each lane, moving slower than a dead body in a lake, then tutting when you take over them. Winners also get a vending machine cup of chicken soup and a dime bar to go with their medal.
But how good are you at rescuing bricks eh?

Aye, it's not looking likely.

It's a damn shame. The only long distance race where Team GB got the tactics right is the men's triathlon. Mo Farrah ran a great individual race but there wasn't much need for tactics, he is so far ahead of the field at 10k. We failed in the road race because of poor tactics, failed at the women's triathlon because of poor tactics, failing in this because of poor tactics. It seems like they need to rethink how they set up the races.

Good job good effort GB.

We've got 4 or 5 medals in the bag(I think) in the next couple of days, it's just whether they'll be Gold or Silver now. There's also less medals being handed out now.

Indeed. Saturday and Sunday were huge in terms of medals awarded, somewhere around a fifth of the total available for just 2 days of a 16 day tournament.
