Someone has been posting stuff on twitter about things that many consider recent, and then highlight things that happened the same time time period before that. For example, the Blur v Oasis is as old now as "Rivers of Babylon" was at that time.
Here's an Olympics related one that I thought of:
The Coe, Ovett & Cram rivalry is as old now as Roger Bannister's sub 4-minute mile run was when those three were running.
(feeling old now)

How come the Mens 100m record is 9.58 seconds but the 4 x 100m relay record is 37.04 which is an average of 9.26 seconds per runner per 100m ? confused ?

Norrrr, we surely should have had more than 36 seconds fun with Mondatoo.
I was all ready to post about secret invisible rocket skateboards.

GFY  Dai Greene the slowest of our 4 x 400 runners in the final, by 0.5 seconds, clearly his injury earlier in the season has had a big effect on his Olympics. |

Hat's off to Lutalo Muhammad. Bronze in the Taekwondo under ridiculous media pressure.
Chuffed for him.

Apologies, literally opened this thread for the 1st time today about 15 secs after Mondatoo posted. |

All of this. Didn't help that Aaron Cook was everywhere today, talking to everyone who would listen. |

GB are doing above expectations in boxing, surely? Our fighters keep on beating world champions and world number ones. Be nice to get a few more golds.

Not so nice if you sold GB Golds at 27.5  |

The Olympic atmosphere has got to me and seriously affected my faculties.
Tomorrow morning, instead of my usual dozy Saturday lie-in, I have paid £95 to voluntarily get up at about 6am to go and watch the canoeing finals out at Eton. Each race only seems to last about 40 seconds and it looks like there's only 4.
At least we do have a good chance of a gold in one of them, and it looks like nice weather.
You'll love it - enjoy |

So chuffed for Fred and very excited about Sunday - lets hope Joshua gets through as well. My run good continued and I got front row seats a couple of days ago for Sunday afternoon, they weren't cheap - but worth every penny with a Brit final
