Re: General Olympic Thread****. I'm having such a blonde day!!! I didn't mean that. I meant Bradley Wiggins!!!(Original post by ForensicShoe)

I think we lost in the archery as well
Looking like Team GB will get no medals today.
*bangs head against wall*
WHY DID I SAY CAVENDISH?
Moron.
And yeah, we're not doing so well today.
I am such an idiot... -
Re: General Olympic ThreadI know! I just re-read that post. No idea why I put Cavendish, I knew it was Wiggins!! God, I am such a moron. One of those moments where you go off-track in the middle of typing and end up writing what you're thinking at that time.(Original post by Adrian87)
Cavendish did not win the tour de france. Also the tactics were spot on GB had to chase the breakaway to catch it so that it would end in a bunch sprint. However not enough teams shared the same goal; as a result after 250km the 4 GB domestiques were spent. Unlike continental races the teams are substantially smaller which only makes it harder to chase a breakaway. There was no more they could do, they cant stop breakaways forming.
Why am I so stupid?
Also, why exactly where we expecting the foreign teams to help us out? I don't get why they'd want to help Britain when they'd clearly want their own medals. -

Re: General Olympic ThreadTeam was picked before Wimbledon unfortunately.(Original post by Roobsa)
Do you know why he isn't? I would have thought winning Wimbledon doubles weeks before the Olympics pretty much secures your place in the national team.
Keothavong looking like she's about to be knocked out too.
I feel a bit dejected after today's events.
Meh, there'll be other days
The volleyball was awesome (even though our men's pairing lost).
Incoming overhype from Garry Lineker for Miley in the swimming.Last edited by ForensicShoe; 28-07-2012 at 19:24. -
