Haha, that was a late charge. Perfectly timed I guess but you'd be devastated if in the Dutch crew.

I like the idea of the Brisbane triathlon swim being in the sea with the sharks and crocs.

Gold Coast's canals have bull sharks. Could see a pretty quick time set in the swim leg.

Yee has run the 10,000m at the European Championships for GB & was quicker than Farah as a teenager

Thought he looked like a decent runner :laugh:

Just watched a British female boxer thoroughly outbox a Moroccan only to see the decision go the other way. It really is the most crooked of sports and to be honest has no right in the Olympics.

A couple of the other points defeats for GB boxers were pretty 50:50 but that one was really poor. British girl pummeled her opponent for 3 minutes in that last round, having split the first two.

I don't know if it's crooked, just that the scoring is not very robust or objective. It was better when they had the live scoring per punch but for some reason they have moved away from that and back to judge scoring.

Hard for the backhanders to work on the punch by punch scoring. I won't watch any more of that.

Dunno what this was referring to as switched over to watch it only to see the American rider screw up her final run on the first jump, handing gold to China.

There was a group in the crowd who wouldn't have looked out of place at one of Trump's shindigs...I have a feeling they may have been related to the rider you are talking about.
