<p>I asked the same thing in 2012. :whistle:</p> -
<p>Well, that sucks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Val put in a big second shot - no-one else got close for half an hour and it looked in the bag. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>THEN - second to last throw of the night - Carter pulls a huge one out - more than half a metre further than her previous best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leaving Val, who'd be sitting there smiling for about the last half hour, with the last throw of the nightto pull it back. She threw the third 20+ metre, but not good enough and it's another silver.</p> -
How awesome is it to have all these people in an array of sports in the top 2 in the Olympics, and only being beaten by massive efforts. <br><br>
Well done team -
Damn. Freakish effort by Carter. Well done.<br><br>
Bad luck Val. -
Cypress Hill screeching out seconds after Singapore touch for their first ever gold. It's just fucking awful, what's wrong with letting the crowd be?
