That Ecuadorian

Bloke slapping the Ecuadorian weight lifter to gee her up

That whole scene was absolutely nuts. Like some sort of Olympics parody film.

Are we in gold medal position in the weightlifting then?

Likely she’ll end up in bronze

Aye but we're currently first.

I've suddenly become a massive fan of weightlifting.

Should get bronze which is a good return

Yep, i wasn't even aware we were in contention for a medal to be honest.

 

[Darlo1973]

One woman medal machine.

How many of our cycling medals has she won now?

Three. First female British Olympian to win 3 medals in something like 60 years. Even Laura K never managed that.

And she will be better next time.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Netherlands now dangerously close to overtaking us in the medal table.

One more gold will do it.

 

[SAFC11]

[Wilsonian]

Massive crash there.

 

[Graieb]

f***ing hell how many crashes is that for GB

 

[Darlo1973]

Wipeout

 

[Botchie]

Jap took him out.

 

[Herberthall]

Canny crash that like

 

[Botchie]

f***ing hell how many crashes is that for GB

Part and parcel of the sport.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

GB now down to 7th in the medal table.

Not a great showing when we were projected to finish fourth.

 

[Botchie]

Eurosport not showing a replay.

 

[Darlo1973]

GB now down to 7th in the medal table.

Not a great showing when we were projected to finish fourth.

On the other hand the target was 50 medals and we've smashed that.

 

[SAFC11]

[look out piano]

Urgh another crash man
