Phelps breaks a record at 15. It's prodigious. Ye Shiwen breaks a record at 16. It's disturbing. Classy stuff.

Phelps had shown gradual improvement since he was a kid though - this girl has taken a huge chunk off her fastest time in a year.


Lets hope its genuine

5 seconds off a PB in a year?

Beating the male equivalent time in the same event?

Astounding performance.

Don't start me on National Anthems! (Not a sentence I imagined typing, admittedly...)

This is what the French will sing if they manage to win anything:

Let's go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny's
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!
Refrain
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your batallions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!

We're 1-0 up against the Argies in the men's hockey by the way. Half an hour to go...

Went to school with Glenn Kirkham, a couple years older than me.  Abso immense, ran rings past me and everyone else.  Fair to say we won every school hockey match we played.

Kirkham is quality. With both the GB men and women ranked 4th in the world would be excellent if either could get into the medals. Probably more likely for the women than the men.

I've got tickets for the hockey this Friday, only Germany v India and then GB v Pakistan. Excellent stuff.

Getting sick of the biased coverage.

The Chinese divers who won gold were incred.

Headline? "Tom Daley comes 4th".

I am routing for Team GB in everything and want to see as much as possible of them but in the team gymnastics the Chinese team won by like 4 points.  The rest of the field wasn't even separated by 2 points.  They were amazing and got almost no credit at all.  There has to be a balance.

Crowd booing at Britain being demoted from silver to bronze.

Pathetic.

Understandable though.

It would've been pretty weird had they cheered.

Bleh.  Bit harsh, ott reaction.

A lot of emotion and excitement running through a home crowd.  Initial jubilation of cheering a silver medal and then that being taken away from a man behind a desk (Justified).  Not great to hear, but completely understandable. 

Do you expect them to stay silent, cheer?

Or if they'd started doing the Macarena.

Or if they'd purchased a small semidetached holiday home a short walk from Tenby pier. That would have been really weird.

Also, they weren't booing the Japanese. They were booing the judges who had essentially just decided that the crowd was responsible for the GB silver being lost

Always pretty funny playing with him as the Teachers tactics only consisted off "Pass it to Glenn".

Pretty jealous of your tickets, enjoy.  Hoepfully one of the teams can sneak a medal.
