They tried the Seine but it didn't work.
Anyone more knowledgeable know roughly how much longer the cycling will take? Want to see the kayak cross
Isn't their consensus now that Phelps medals were down to his suit or did I read that wrong.
There's 147km left, so around 3 hours.
Done roughly 17:03 local time imo
Saw him last night on BBC and he looked really fat and was sweating heavily. I just don't understand how ex elite athletes can let themselves go like that. Similar for Matthew Pincent the ex rower. He looks massive.
That was Ian Thorpe.
Big shock in the Decathlon - Damien Warner botched the pole vault, failed all three attempts without clearing a height, makes it wide open for everyone else.
Isnt that quite normal? They are used to eating an extreme amount of food.
If that's the Lzr suit then pretty much every swimmer at Beijing used them, with a few exceptions.
It made a massive difference to the times but not necessarily to the winners as so many had them. Kind of like super shoes in track and road running a few years ago when everyone just ended up wearing Nike Vaporflies but spray painting them black if they were sponsored by someone else
He's still in great shape now though
I'm not an expert at all, but I actually thought the area around Biarritz in Southern France was really good surfing territory.I only just read they’re running the surfing competition in fecking Tahiti on the other side of the world
How is this a sport? Horse just walking around with some toffee nosed bloke riding it.
It's one of the best, as is Tahiti.
Dancing horses featured on BBC FFS with top class sport happening all around France
When I switched on a couple of hours ago the commentator was breathlessly saying 'now under 250km to go!' like it was building to an imminent climax
Kayak cross at 2:30
Want to watch that, the gymnastics and cycling but only 2 screens

For some reason when you are used to it 3 or 4 hours from the finish isn't far.

Definitely a talent, just wish he looked a little more relaxed at the end. His coach is so experienced and will keep his feet on the ground
Yes it was. Looked really out of shape to me.
Denmark finally has a medal and it's the fecking horse dancing thing
Kayak cross time!
This Kayak event is like something you would see on Challenge TV.
Zapata kick off the floor final by raining down fire
This looks really good fun although I couldn't do the drop or roll
although I couldn't do the drop or rollYay, we won the horse dance
Boring and a massive fuxk you to the actual athletes who work their arses off for thousands of hours for individual achievements.
Then we have posh cnuts on dancing horses.
They should be fecked off and have their own arrangements for dancing horse competition.
Posh cnut
I don't have a double name or 'von'/'de' in my name, I'm not like them!
Terrible 'sport'
Rooth you beautiful bastard
This is carnage
Proper scrap between the Brazilian and the Dutch women here
This is supposed to be the Neugebauer show, please stop
It's going to be even more chaotic when there's 4 of them!
We don't have a single medal yet. Let us have this gold. You can stick to horse choking.
I'd hope your name is like Karl Heinze von Booby or something.
