Why on earth are there so many fencing events?
Surely a sword is a sword?
Three different swords: foil, épée and sabre. Chap I used to know at Uni was one of those there fencists (oddly not even marked on spell-check) and he showed me the swords. They're different sizes and weights. Certainly no worse than the swimming events. Greatest ever Olympian cos he can swim backwards, forwards and like a praying mantis indeed... If there were a 150m, a running backwards event and a skipping 100m event, bolt would win those as well. Redgrave could only get in one boat. No room to split training between boats. I started off addressing your point but then went off on a frolic of my own. Sorry, Camel! I would mind so much if one of the events involved jumping off balconies and swinging from chandeliers while wearing a big floppy hat like in the movies. How good would this be as a medal event: |

It's good but you're not beating this: Also links nicely to the Nottingham Hoods chat from Tikay's thread. No alternative abodes required |

Did Hugh Porter think the end of the women's Keiren was a lap before it actually was? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/18916802 |

The most tragic aspect of these Olympics is Louis Smith's haircut.

But how well did he speak and behave? Fantastic. |

Some lunatic threw a Bottle of Beer just before the Gun for the 100m, landed a few meters behind Lane 5.
