briggaman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well, that's a gold in the men's team sprint. Fully deserved and all of them put in a great shift. They were flying in every round... WR too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It's funny all those people moaning on day 3 that Team Jeebie hadn't won enough medals yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2012 I normally hate summer as there's no football, but this is great - the Euros, the Olympics - and the tedious cricket mostly rained off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It's funny all those people moaning on day 3 that Team Jeebie hadn't won enough medals yet The point was still very valid. There was at that time lack of PB's etc. It seems that from comments made in the press that the coaches have been working with them on motivations etc - see comments re Woodward etc. So :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2012 Pendleton completely **** that up then Harsh. Hard to say who's fault it is. Her cue to overtake is when Varnish moves over. If Varnish moved early then it would be her fault, not Pendleton's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Did the lead off guy for the team sprint just admit that he fell off the bike on purpose to get a restart? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hindes has just said in the post interviews that he deliberately fell off in the heat after the start because he didn't feel he'd started well and wanted to get a restart. Interesting, given the thread of conversation for the past couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah what a hollow victory... **** it, and they broke the world record twice, I think they deserve it. Must be the German side of him that did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillz Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 watching the womans hockey. GB looking good as we have throughout the games so far. Also the player who takes our penalty corners has caught the eye a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think you can put some of these errors down to pressure to deliver on the home stage We've seen medals dropped in cycling and swimming in this respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, given the thread of conversation for the past couple of days He was joking. As he said it his team mates were laughing but then looked as I felt - 'What if people watching don't get the joke?' :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
