Unbelievable that boxing is being dropped

Fucking wets

Really? Greco Roman wrestling is gone too I think. Old school combat sports aren't cool anymore. What's next? MMA?

Pankration was in the ancient Olympics.. so if that did happen it would restoring a traditional sport

One nil Andrews almost there

Ellesse goes 1-0

Damo

Andrews takes first race.

Commentator said it would be a huge upset if she won one race. WTF.

Chris B.

Did that comfortably - and if it goes to three she'll have less work in her legs!

Damo

We are currently 12th in the medal table, just behind Canada with both having 9 golds and 7 silver. Canada have a lot more bronzes than us. I presume that given we will win at least a silver this means we will finish in 11th.

@Damo Can those Canadians not win anything else?

I've been taunting a Canadian friend that we were poised to strike.

We won the high jump - and those feckers came back with gold in breakdancing!

And that stupid C1 canoeing to match Lydia!

Don't know. What else is even happening?

Damo

Wollastan keeps flirting with danger in the elimination race.

Chris B.

Not that much - but, I think they've got someone in the womes's omnium.

If we are tied on golds I think that means we win because the breakdancing is only worth half a medal.
