First medals of the games will be awarded in the Triathlon tomorrow and there is obviously no Gomez in the Mens so one of the Brownlee brothers should get Gold and Stimpson probably has the best chance for Gold in the Womens as well

Ah that'd be a shame, though he is listed as being on the team on the right in the BBC press pack

And Mark tagged him in a tweet this morning

Won't be as good as the Olympics anyway, but it isn't trying to be, there was something a bit mesmerising about cheering on people in the lesser publisiced sports, getting emotional over dancing horses >>>> and canoeing or taekwondo, but I am excited nonetheless for the Commonwealths. Hopefully Alistair or Johnny provide us with our first gold medal of the games.

Novo
23-07-2014, 05:39 PM
The Commonwealths is more like the friendly games, people still care about winning but its traditional and about the message of human rights and unity but after the Olympics there seems to be more of a competitive edge to it this year more so then Manchester, if we get ****ing boo'd tonight though at that ****hole ground then there will be no mercy :idc:

Really don't know what has happened with our guys tho. Disappointing. Kierin was my favourite event in the cycling outside of the Elimination race at the Olympics so it's a shame that we have no finalist in it.

****, we are always the nearly guys when it comes to Badminton, its near enough the #1 sport in Malaysia so its not to bad, if only we won that 2nd match though

Aww. Looks like we are done in the Badminton. Unless we goat it up in these last two matches.

Least we're looking likely to sweep up a fair few medals in the Gymnastics tomorrow and we have another good few swimming prospects tonight.

The one thing I'm really enjoying about these games is the amount of crowd support the home nations are getting, not just Scotland but Wales, England etc too. All massive cheers and even chants of 'ENGLAND!!!' in some of the arenas which is surprisingly amazing, it's really nice to see :flutter:

All the crowds seem to be really enthusiastic and near full in most of the sports I've been watching too which is also great, reminds me of London. I'm definitely as addicted as I was two years ago, have been watching for about 10 hours each day :laugh:

Quality stuff from Gemili, gives him a good platform to build from going into Rio, he took a few world class scalpes tonight, Blessing has been class in every race, domination.

Novo
28-07-2014, 09:55 PM
So far I think the most impressive performance over the past few days is Siobhan simply because she ripped a good swimmer like Coutts a new one and she is still 18, I expect her to break world records and dominate for years, can't see anything or anyone touching her. 2 years ago in London she was 16 and looked good now 2 years later she looks world class so just wait til Rio

Novo
28-07-2014, 10:02 PM
Would like to see the Siobhan destroying Missy Franklin in the 200 freestyle at Rio, that would be the GOAT swimming moment surpassing the Adlington double in 2008

Its amazing how we are still just 3 golds behind the Aussies in the medal table, they took over 70 golds in India if we can keep this up we might break our gold record from 1986, although athletics doesn't look promising for us apart from the Para guys like Weir and Peacock

Black Dagger
28-07-2014, 11:24 PM
I always thought Weir was Scottish!

1st going into the final day of both the Womens/Men's teams in Gymnastics tomorrow so that could be a good start to the Gymnastics as we're likely going to get a 1/2 in the Horse with Smith and Whitlock.

Proud was superb as well in the pool tonight, Dad was all like 'he won't qualify here I don't think he'll be strong enough' and I was like erm.

Novo
28-07-2014, 11:54 PM
There is a Scottish David weir as well the footballer, probably why you thought that and I missed the Proud race he looks a talent though, Whitlock was amazing yesterday failing a disaster he should have gold wrapped up and the same with the team gold medal, really looking forward to the Porter and Pearson hurdles showdown now
