England Ladies Hockey team leading 3-2 after three quarters of the game....but looking like they are going to throw it as the Argies are well pumped up.
Beware of John Hunt, primarily a Horseracing commentator but drafted in to cover swimming on 5LIve... he treats every swim race like a horse race so no matter how close or easy a race is he builds up to a huge squeal like we have just had Red Rum's 4th National win. I have to lurch to the sound...
I was thinking that we should award medals down to 6th place then we would be well in contention... you could have Copper, Tin and Aluminium for 4th/5th/6th.... and we are a Tinpot country now after all.
Looks like the heady days of London 2012 are truly over...we have turned back in to Plucky Brits with a propensity to fall, crash, collapse get sent off etc etc across a wide range of events.
Just heard the commentary of the Peaty race on 5Live, Had to turn the radio off as John Hunt ( Horse Racing Commentator ) seems to have been given swimming commentary and he is annoyingly over the top and shouty.
I would assume that many are tainted, probably not all but plenty. As for the U.S., yes you are correct, the Balco scandal may have been the tip of the iceberg.
This.... apart from watching Bolt I really can't get excited about any of this now after the Russians have been systematically doping for 10 years and getting away with it.
