@Giles:

I think the badminton reference was to the bans for trying to lose

Trying to lose is one thing but a pair balls dropping out of your skirt is quite something else!

The indoor cycling is fucking awesome!

[Giles]

Not for Pendleton and Co it's not…...

Proud day for New Zealand - 3 Golds in the Rowing!

[RocknRoll]

Sweet as!

Rowing is awesome.  As a recreational level user of a rowing machine, I have only the slightest experience with how brutal the sport is; those athletes are amazing.

As a side note, I love watching the less mainstream sports.  Seriously, stuff like pursuit cycling and water polo just fascinate me.  I've been meaning to catch some team handball, too.

Watched a bit of trampolining earlier…......

A reasonable night in the velodrome then.  Up to third in the medal rankings - WOW…..

Wait, seriously.. ???

[Seul]

Yeah: they seriously don't do it naked… Couldn't believe it either...

Asked my housemate if we'd won any more medals, he finishes earlier than I do generally.

"Yes, all in events you sit down for. Apart from the shooting, even that was stationary."

Just saw on the evening recap that the winner of the men's trampoline is a dude named " Dong".  I started snickering and my wife just rolled her eyes at me and said, "you are such a child."

[bagley920]

Actually his name was Dong Dong, double hilarious!

[Giles]

Paula and I had a few giggles over that one too….

[Giles]

Gon from the works, just sent me this email…...

GON to a lot of trouble there (fnar fnar). I would imagine that the Union Jack ain't easy to fit onto a fingernail.
