If you haven't seen them, you need to see some of Paul and Gary O'Donovan's interviews. There are more on YouTube, though some Americans have struggled to penetrate the West Cork accents. Paul O'D's "pull like a dog" comment has led to a response from Thailand:







Yeah loved these, at first I thought they were spoof comedy characters from an Irish show. Love the Irish.

Speaking of which have we mentioned this fella yet?

Can't beat a bit of old school Russian propaganda  Cheesy

A Russian sports news website, Sport Express, carries a report headlined "Britain sets medal record for non-domestic Olympics".
The brief report is followed by a somewhat jaundiced comment from a reader identified as "S-E fan", who asks: "What's so surprising about this? The British have seized key posts at Wada, IAAF, the Paralympic Committee. Their people are everywhere, they are securely covered and compete and train without hassle."

Was There a Problem with the Rio Pool? http://swimsw.am/yv4

Stunningly nerdy analysis which shows there was a current in the pool which will have cost some swimmers medals.

Wow at this. Might be bad news for Ipswich Town FC, too.

From @BigSportGB

Of the 30 fastest 100m times, 21 are by athletes who've tested positive for drugs.

The other 9 are all Usain Bolt!

Yeah, he leads a team with one of the worst doping records. Would have liked Gatlin to win to stick one in the eye of all the hypocrisy.
