Belguim ???LOL, me and my friends could run home from after a girls night out quicker than belgium :joker:

GB Women Relay - They must feel so sh!t! Pure embarrassment and It's one of those things people will bring up in interviews for years to come, you know so they relive the shame over and over.
:sad:

ThisIsMarie 22-08-2008 03:30 PM

You can do that on the control panel I think.

Marc 22-08-2008 03:32 PM

People can edit how many posts per page you can have, if its lower then people will see more pages in this thread.

ThisIsMarie 22-08-2008 03:40 PM

Typical me, diving did come on a bit ago but I just missed most of not realising and watching rythmic gymnastic instead.

ThisIsMarie 22-08-2008 04:28 PM

Thanks, didn't Daley come 11th though?


What's the sport like football but with hands called? (on red button atm)

Bronze medals confirmed for both Tony Jefferies and David Price in the boxing after both lost in their semi-finals.I didn't really expect much from Jefferies against the Irishman, he's done well to get a bronze though.

Price got totally outclassed by the guy from Italy, lost the opening round 5-0 then got stopped in the 2nd round after a big overhand right sent him flying into the ropes.

I cannot believe we threw another medal away in the relays.At least both the men and women's teams in the 4 x 400m look in good shape.

BigSister 22-08-2008 05:11 PM

handball?

Marc 23-08-2008 01:10 PM

Flipping ridiculous Taekwondo! Those judge's should be fired and sent out in a rocket towards the sun!
How could they not see that, that was an obvious 2 pointer to the head?!! I'm so glad we made an official complaint, she deserved to go to that semi, but deserved a little better. But very very happy she won bronze and SO CHUFFED THAT THE CHINESE DIDN'T GET A MEDAL!!!
******ing ridiculous...

ThisIsMarie 23-08-2008 02:46 PM

10m Platfrom Diving Final was absolutly, insanely good! Griping!

Matthew Mitcham !



LOL! Did anyone else ear them playing Chariots of fire onto the Cube after it had all finish!:laugh2:

Marc 23-08-2008 03:17 PM

He did so well on that last dive! I'm glad he beat the chinese!

Dan_ 23-08-2008 03:22 PM

The judging in the Taekwondo has just been a total piss take.

Huge congrats to Britains James Degale who won the gold medal in the middleweight boxing.Was a really scrappy contest with an awful performance from the ref though, he let the Cuban get away with so many fouls and even penalised Degale for holding that was initiated by the Cuban.I think the contest should have been over in the second round after the Cuban bit Degale's shoulder.Depsite all the roughouse tacticts, James managed to prevail and get our first gold in boxing since 2000.I think if he turns pro he can go a long way.

Watching some of the other finals today and I was hugely impressed by the featherweight gold medal winner from Ukraine.He's been totally dominating everyone on the way to the final but I thought he might have a fair bit tougher against the Frenchman but he destroyed him in 2 rounds.

The division that I feel has been the strongest and most interesting is at light welterweight.The two guys that got bronze were very unfortunate,Alexsis Vastine of France was a classy counter puncher and the Cuban Sontolongo had super quick hands and reflexes and was an utter joy to watch.The final was a real clash of style though, the reigning champion from Thailand had advanced using the same tactis with his long reach and quick body punches but those were figured out by the Felix Diaz, he exposed the weakness of the inside fighting and just tore him apart.Diaz really looks like he could make an impact in the pro's.

Emzy-!! 23-08-2008 03:43 PM
