John Joe and Katie in the boxing. Any other hopefuls?

Conlan and Barnes have a chance but it'll be very tough for them. Or AIleen Morrison in the triathlon?

Of course they could. Why is that so hard to believe ?!?!? Humans didn't evolve to wear shoes. Our feet as a result are relatively underdeveloped compared to barefoot people.

I was agreeing with you.. There was no sarcasm about the post at all.

They hunt with spears and chase deer and other animals for miles until the animal drops with exhaustion..

He got tired again toward the end. Hands down near his waist. He was good in the first 2 rounds again too though. He's consistent, just not olympic grade yet at least.

H2UMrsRobinson · 03-08-2012 10:20PM

Devastated for the team GB women footballers . Played well up til now. Well done girls.!!!

Right back home, with an 8 pack of hino, I barely got to the finish line but I could feel the support of this tread behind me and that gave me the extra strength I needed to slap the cans on the counter with with only 10 second to spare.

Thank you Olympic thread for the support I couldn't have done it without you's I dedicate these cans to all of you's,

Crack and slurp ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

LOL I love the olympics.

Thats what we like to see! The fans getting into the 'spirit' of the games!:D

....burp.....

Conlon in the boxing looks class.

Conlan has an unusual tattoo.

Bare feet are grand for endurance running, but for pure speed you need more grip, hence spiked shoes. Spikes give a lot more traction.

The_Kew_Tour · 03-08-2012 10:29PM

Katie, Nevin and Conlon 1 fight away from Medal. Barnes has tricky bout, but should get through it. If he does it will leave 4 fighters within one fight of Medal.

Hopefully Murphy can hang on in Sailing so there chance we could win 3-4 Medals just yet.

Optimistic I guess, but never know.

Exciting finish in the basketball..

ah, it's highlights. Hadn't seen it earlier

We took the top 20 countries with medals in Beijing and randomly selected 10 each. So we all have a table of 10 countries. The winner is the poster with the most medals at the end.

You spelt my name wrong.

Shryke · 03-08-2012 10:48PM

It was clearly created just to exclude us. Talk about Boris being PM on the back of the games on newsnight. Why would you give him the credibility?

I'm making a valid point -- the amount of 'Team Ireland' competitors with Northern accents is utterly farcical.:rolleyes:

The amount of team GB athletes with Irish accents is pretty funny too

How does stating the fact that the lad is from Belfast and thus had use of GB's facilities a bigoted remark?

People on here are just so desperate for some glory that they won't allow reality to rule.

Heck, they'll even cheer on a over privileged Dub in a 'laser' craft.

You couldn't write this.

He chose to represent Ireland, what part of that do you not comprehend?
