The Olympics thread

great game of hockey so far... still nil-nil after 25mins between GB and the Netherlands
Stupid foul cost us the game and maybe a medal opportunity:( The boxing was good although there didn't seem too much wrong with the Russian.
 
Lost his balance? I got straight up after each hit. I didn't say there was nothing wrong with him I just thought that it was a bit soon to end the fight.

You were the Russian?

His/your legs had gone. No need to subject him/you to further punishment.
 
My disguise has been foiled, damn. Could have given him/me another chance, if he went down again the stopped the fight.
 
Michael Phelps greatest Olympian

I'm getting a bit fed up hearing that Phelps is the greatest ever Olympian. He may well be in the number of gold medals won, but not in the same class as many Olympians of the past.

My nomination would be Emil Zatopek who won the 5000m, 10000m & the Marathon at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.

Or worse, use that dreadful Amercanism 'winningest'.

Problem I have is that it's far easier to win multiple medals in swimming than other sports, such as track and field. Of his 11 medals, five have come in relays.

Don't get me wrong - he is clearly quite brilliant, but I too would more inclined to vote for Emil Zatopek, or Paavo Nurmi. I'd add Carl Lewis but there are always the drugs doubts there.

To be fair to Phelps he at least refers to himself as most decorated Olympian. I've got to disagree about Carl Lewis James, he has been caught out using performance enhancing drugs so he is tainted by that IMO.
 
Just seen the re run of David Price knocking down the Russian, quite impressed. I am hopeful that our boxers will bring home a few medals from these games.
