Rio Olympics

Peak form just in time to retire! Ha ha.
I am really really happy about this. It has made my day.

Same. He HAD to do something like that before going.

Yeah that was hard luck. His interview about it afterwards was so good though, you seldom see someone take a mechanical like that so well.

Toucans dope by injecting Cancellara.

there’s absolutely no question of toucan involvement.

Wiggo:

“It’s a friendly rivalry really,” he said, when discussing the rivalry with Australia.

“I’m the first to go over and shake their hands but they’re the worst winners in the world and also the worst losers as well,” he said with a smile.

“They did milk it at the Worlds when they beat us but that’s what makes it great. It’s a good rivalry.”

good sensations in both teams right now i reckon…

looking forward to a super tight battle (unless GB blow everyone out of the water)

Channel 7 just showed an info graphic on TV explaining that a track bike had ‘NO BREAKS’.
This is the world we live in.

If only there were no ad breaks.

If only they weren’t synced across the channels.

If only they didn’t show the same thing on multiple channels

If only they showed a whole sport from start to finish without cutting away to another sport.

If only they weren’t desperate for Aussie Gold in the pool they didn’t show Aussie wins from 28 years ago.

If only Channel 7 didn’t have the Olympics.

If only…

TBH have watched sweet FA of the Olympics. Caught two USA ladies doing their floor routine in the all round last night, both scoring enough to take out Silver and Gold Overall, that was cool. Chinese gymnast bumped from Bronze was gutted and in tears, Russian gymnast bumped from silver to bronze was stoic.

I know right? It’s a conspiracy!

Been watching stuff randomly with the family. Gymnastics, basketball, kayaking etc. Good times.

Still not as bad as Family Fued.

My missus’ cousin won silver on Thursday night. We had a blast staying up late to watch him with other cousins and family. It’s easy to be cynical about the Olympics these days but they’re pretty much the only time the general population gives a shit about all these amateur sports, which is cool for the athletes.

What is the schedule for track sprinting?
I’m so over the shite 7 broadcast, going to have to stream it online…

Trampolining, it’s like next level back yard Olympics, so good.

Holy shit that wall ride in the womens keirin heat #2

with snowboarding already in, and skateboarding coming for tokyo i guess it shouldnt be surprised that FGFS was a demonstration sport.

prolly is going to be mad he didnt get a guest commentary gig with NBC though.

Good race, sprint to the line was intense.
