TrentVilla Posted July 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2012 If she had done her time that she did when she qualified for the games she would have got bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 She certainly should and could have. I expected at least a bronze from her, yet she got nothing. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why are there sooo many swimming events, and distances? So they can justify spending a bagillion pounds on an 'aquatics centre' every Olympics is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 We just need our first medal. There's going to be big pressure on GB competitors until it's in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Just put the handball on. I thought handball was that game like squash without rackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Sums up British attitude sometimes, when interviewer says 'well you're only eighteen' to British guy who lost. When a Chinese 16 year old just smashed a world record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Shit, no medal again. Ye Shiwen just broke the World Record though in quite spectacular fashion.

When a Chinese 16 year old just smashed a world record. China is pouring money into swimming, which we simply can’t match, but as I said lets look at some of these Chinese out of competition tests...

Voinjama Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why are there sooo many swimming events, and distances? Because there are so many different swimming styles. There are only about 4 different distances. But its the amount of different styles that makes it seem alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Missed most of the opening ceremony as I was out drinking laaaaager. What I did see looked great. Not surprised by the cynical reaction by the natives and the fact foreigners seemed impressed. The reaction to it has been overwhelmingly positive going by what I have seen.

Voinjama Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think that GB will get 14 golds in this Olympics. Less then Beijing 2008, but still impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The pressure on the team GB athletes is too much What about all the empty seats !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yep the pressure will inevitable be too much for a few of them. For example I predict a silver for golden girl Jessica Ennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 a little channel hopping just revealed I now have 24 different BBC Olympic channels I watched the men's team archery earlier, Italy took it from USA by scoring a ten with their last shot, I wouldn't have thought I'd have watched it but I just got caught up in it.
