We seem to be doing very poorly in the 50km mince.

Anybody else getting the impression that Mountain Biking is like BMX for grown ups?  |

Hat's off to Lutalo Muhammad. Bronze in the Taekwondo under ridiculous media pressure.
Chuffed for him.
All of this. Didn't help that Aaron Cook was everywhere today, talking to everyone who would listen. Yeah great result and congrats to him. Aaron Cook actually stayed away from the Taekwondo today fwiw after watching Jade Jones win last night. I'm pretty sure he won't have been going out of his way to talk to anyone that would listen. I would think he's had enough of being reminded that he's not taking part in the games..... I'm prob wrong then. I did hear interviews by him, on 5live and talksport yesterday, but might well have been old ones. |

Each horse gets ridden twice, so someone else has that draw too! |

+1 Same with all horse events. DuJardin clearly had the best horse in the Dressage. I think whoever rode it would have won gold. This is a far fairer test of a horseman. |

If they did the same with bikes, we would possibly have won fewer golds.
What about the boats in rowing or sailing?

Not sure this is true. It must take lots of practice to master those 'extra round wheels'! |

Pretty sure the boats are standard in sailing. Not sure about rowing. |

Until they design bikes and boats that can make decisions independent of who is controlling them then I don't think they can be really compared to the horses

the bikes we used were for sale for two years before the olympics and commercially availlable, as were the helmets etc Sailing and rowing I think is common equipment..ie they are aerodynamically the same across the field |

Pretty sure the boats are standard in sailing. Not sure about rowing. Rowing = small number of manufacturers so boats and blades are pretty similar across all crews. The closest comparison I can think of is to F1 tyre choices, with the one of two brands used by the teams. |
