Games Record to Liti also. Top stuff. Not sure who the little blond lady is but they had a really long crying hug which was adorbs.
Just saw the replay of his last lift, that bar looked comic book ridiculous. 229kg clean. 430kg total. O for awesome

So that's four gold and two silver today. Sensational haul, and moves us up to 3rd on the medal table!
Down to 4th place now. India in 3rd with 10 golds.

Netball is unlikely to trouble the tally keepers

Could have been 5 Golds if a certain someone hasn’t tangled their testicles in their snatch while thinking about a clean jerk later in the evening.

have to think there wont be many upset that s/he has gone out this way.
Nope , its only a matter of time till someone gets badly hurt by a tranny in a contact sport. My guess is wrestling or mma.
Or Friday night on Courtney Place.
That guy that dances outside what was the Electric Blue, I saw him/her go ape at someone who tried to dance with him/her
Electric Avenue, it's not named after an Icehouse song.
Yeah that bloke was an interesting fella.
Electric Avenue was an Eddie Grant song. Electric Blue was Icehouse
The refugee all stars also did a great version of Electric Avenue

I turned on the TV last night to watch some ANZ ads and the occasional footage of the Tall Blacks game. Fark, I'm glad TVNZ is getting plenty of criticism for their pathetic coverage. I saw one lift from Liti and nothing from the squash while waiting for the shot put final. I ended up following the updates via Stuff.
If it was on their OD channels how about advertising it? Meanwhile we get a hockey game and boxing bout not involving any NZers. Watch the netball? No chance!
-
@Bovidae yup, I turned it on last night and listened to Sam the weatherman wanking on about how great beach volleyball is for 5 minutes, and then they cut to the basketball 2 minutes into the match. It's a bloody shambles, and yes they don't advertise the Online stuff at all - all Toni talked about was the alternate channel on T.V.
As much as I dislike Sky, they do a fucking way better job of covering sports than anyone else.

She must have mentioned at some point that the squash was on their internet channel, because I went and found it. Was the first time last night I'd heard that they had a third channel tucked away among Sky's sports channels (59 I think). Previously, she'd just mentioned there was a freeview channel 14.
In any case, when people are whingeing about Sky I always think they should be careful what they wish for. Not that I care a great deal about Premier League football, but a few years ago you could watch it on Sky as part of the sports package. Then it was ripped away by those internet characters and now it's apparently back on those Bein pay channels.
Streaming still doesn't seem to work flawlessly and it's particularly shit at my place.
Christ knows what viewing the RWC is going to be like and who they'll have commentating.

IF that is the way forward (Streaming rugby and sports I like) then I am going to save a fair bit of money as our internet is hopeless out in the sticks.

Unfortunately where I was last night didn't have Sky so I was restricted to Freeview channels. I'm not interested in listening to the "hosts" so push the mute button until sport is shown but a simple real-time on-screen graphic informing you which live event was on each channel would have done the trick.

After the Commonwealth games I’m looking forward to not having Toni Street or Sam the Weatherman inflicted on me again for a very, very long time.
Between forcing their “media celebrity” drivel on us and incessant poorly timed ad breaks, TVNZ should give themselves massive uppercut.

They are fucking aweful, reminds me why I avoid TVNZ 1 or what ever the fuck it’s called.
