Feck me, wouldn't mind a ride on that.

Now I'd love to see her perform in the "Clean and Jerk" competition. She'd win gold surely.

The thing that ruins the Olympics for me is sports like Football, Basketball and Tennis being apart of the games. We might as well make Cricket an Olympic sport then, what about Aussie rules football and Gaelic football, Hurling too?

I watched the Roland Garros event, Queens club and then Wimbledon, the last thing I want to do is watch more Tennis.

Agree with that totally - I haven't watched hardly any tennis or football

Still no chess gold though

I'm really enjoying the Rowing, the Hockey, Sailing, Handball, Swimming and the Velodrome which is by far my favourite.

Another gold in the "riding a bike"

Still no chess gold im afraid

watching the last hour or so of the cycling has been brilliant in all honesty. i actually punched the air just now when the lovely vicky pendleton just won gold.

What you get with the olympics is personal stories, each far more compelling than the spoon fed, over privileged footballers we watch each week. The dedication and obsession that each competitor shows, and all their unrewarded hard work that they do in private, without the support of anyone but their families is abundantly evident and utterly compelling. I'm overjoyed for each winner and gutted for each loser. I never feel that way as a neutral watching football. The fact that these people are the absolute elite in the world, yet by and large aren't celebrities really makes you feel connected to them, and humanises their achievements in a way that the world of elite football now misses

Well said that man.

Clearly its that black and white ffs, footballers are massively overpaid silver spooned prima donnas and Olympic athletes are the salt of the earth.

Usain Bolt earned $20.3m last year

Oh Hey...

Im not Olympic bashing here btw, I just cant understand why some people cant value one type of thing without taking potshots at another, in this specific case footballers, from a poster on Red and White Kop, a football forum.

I suppose the fact 'by and large' was used by the poster covered himself from pedantic people like you. After all, MOST Olympians do not earn that kind of money but of course you fail to miss the gist of the blokes post just to be an awkward fart.
