Olympics Thread

[No Quarter]

I suspect Damo missed the piston wristed gibbon thread. That thread will go down in history as one of the very best.

All these B finals in the rowing/kayaking are a bit shit. Must be gutting competing in them.

<p>Lydia in trouble on the 2nd.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Only a bogey.</p>

[Immenso Rapido]

Canadian canoeing is a bit daft IMO. Not quite race walking daft, but ..... someone just give them some proper paddles!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Was a good race though. Tactically perfect from the Germans.<br><br>
I reckon the canoe sprint is a bit shit. 200 metres is too short.

[hydro11]

<p>Ko just misses a birdie at 3.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Parks with a four shot lead now and looking ominous. Lyds won't want to let her get away, she is a tough, calm competitor.</p>

[mimic]

<p>k4 500m ladies miss out on a medal</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Park now has a five shot lead. Birdie putts not dropping for Lydia so far. Lewis the American has picked up a shot to be at 6 under.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Lydia back to 2nd equal.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Hewitt in a big group on the bike. This one will all come down to the run.</p>

[canefan]

Lydia's putter not working, she's falling back out of the medals now, with 6 holes to get back into silver contention. Park looks to be out of reach in the lead

[hydro11]

<p>Birdie for Ko.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Two pars gets Ko a bronze at least.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Big putt for silver upcoming.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Silver for Lydia. Makes a massive putt.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Nice fightback by Lydia to win silver in the golf. Think it was obvious pretty early on that no one was going to catch Park.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7th for Hewitt in the triathlon, bit gutted for her, really wanted her to get up after everything she has been through, but on form she wasn't really a medal contender.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5th for the K4 girls. They were 3rd at halfway mark but got mown down at the end. Promising signs though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there anything else to go??</p>

<p>Boomers are choking in the BBall semis against Serbia here, been the story of the Games for us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had the two fastest men in the BMX final, and both missed the start and finished out of the medals. Choke city.</p>

<p>Those 2 guys won all 3 of their semi-finals and neither got a medal? Crazy!</p>
