I'm at a bit of a loose end today. :down:

The Kenny household finished this Olympics in 19th place. Just behind Cuba but ahead of New Zealand.

Now that the moment has passed and we can revert back to sexist pigs. Stat Towers, last night, was torn in a titanic 'Battle of the Brunettes':- Naomi Van Arse v Sam Quek After such an honourable performance it was nice for the Dutch to win something.

What a fantastic no nonsense competitive match. Yet another sport that puts footballers to shame.

I just have the mental image of a bloke trying to punch a horse in the face, while his team mates are trying to stop him saying 'leave it bruv, he's not worth it'. :lol:

Sadly I can't find the story, but the 5 live commentator referenced a story from the 1968 pentathlon. Apparently a German competitor had to be restrained from beating up his allocated horse as he was so bad at show jumping.

If we were being properly Eastern Bloc/China cynical about the pursuit of Gold, the funding ought to target canoeing. There's 12 gold medals up for grabs and no one dominant nation. I know what you mean, earlier I was bemoaning swimming's 7 fourth places. Being cold and clinical with the...

The thing is, the brothers would have absolutely smashed it if they hadn't got off their bikes. Their coach needs to have a word.

I doubt the people of Yorkshire will even think to mention that.

But nowt so brave as a footballer.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/aug/15/brutal-but-effective-why-team-gb-is-winning-so-many-olympic-medals I've only scan read this (trying to cook tea as well) but it would appear to back that up, and point out I'm talking out of my arse. Although only 1 medal over target while leaving...

For the funding they've received swimming has consistently under performed. It seems like there's always 1 world beating athlete and no back up. 6 fourth places would suggest whatever 'it' is, they only have 99% of 'it'. I do appreciate that swimming is more competitive than many sports...

Did I hear correctly? I thought I heard someone on the wireless say Team GB swimming got six 4th places. Bit of a poor showing if true.

Squeaky bum.. Make it count now JK.

Naturally as a tubby middle aged man, lying on the sofa drinking my tea, there's yet to be an event I couldn't medal in, until now...
