The Games of the XXXI Olympiad

[Eeyore]

To think 20 years ago in Altanta we won one gold medal

That was the Montreal moment. We've got the National Lottery to thank for all this.

Absolutely loving it today. Great stuff GB! [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319]

Indeed. Our politicians spent months selfishly dividing the nation over the referendum. Our Olympians have spent a week effortlessly uniting it. The power of sport.

Great Britain
Great Brighton

Happy days.

It's all very well having National Lottery funding, but they've still got to spend it wisely.

I'm not convinced by cutting 'failing' sports, like basketball.
That policy seems to undermine the ideal of 'sport for all'.

Not to mention to bizarre sight of rowing head honcho already pleading with the funders to not cut their money as they missed their target by 1 medal.

Shame there had to be a "loser" there.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

In the spirit of the games I think we should give the Australians and the Americans a chance in something.

We just need Murray to round off this rather good day at the Olympics nicely.

 

[Blackadder]

Murray needs to improve his serves to win this.

Equalled Australia's total gold medal country count in the last 24 hours...

 

[Blackadder]

Get in Murray!

 

[ManOfSussex]

1-0 to the Briton.

Also has anyone been keeping an eye on this comparison medal table covering Beijing, London & Rio makes good reading.

No-one says it's offensive. It's just offensive to hate everyone else.

I don't discriminate!!!

I hate everyone else equally!!!!

 

[warmleyseagull]

Can't quite see DP lasting four or five sets. Would take 1-1. Murray is much the fitter.

Well that's okay then. It's not fair to hate one country more than the other. Even the Daily Mail understands that, although the Romanians seem to more hatred than the others which is unfair. If i was Pole I would complain about that.

 

[Triggaaar]

Nothing but the utmost respect for team GB.
All of them!

Even the losers?

 

[Triggaaar]

2-1 Murray

 

[SUA Seagull]

FFS Murray!

 

[warmleyseagull]

FFS Murray!

Glad I'm retired. Murray wants to keep us up.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Drop shot from near back of court to break back. Stunning. Followed by DF. sort of summarises his match.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Del Potro looks out of this.
