Sat on the couch kicking my legs to help him, what a daft sod, just so exciting.

I suspect you weren't alone……………..

Brilliant to see Sir Chris Hoy cheering him home, although someone will probably point out that is unbecoming behaviour for a knight of the realm.

Claire Balding was giving it plenty too

Shame Van Niekirk didn't fancy the 200m, with his 400m WR speed he may have actually given Bolt a close race, possibly even beat him over 200m. Bolts last Olympics too...............might change his mind of course but nothing left to prove.

I read Bolt's invited him to a dual in a 300m race

Indeed she was Homer, and good for her, but it wasn't her Olympic record that stood to be matched (and I'm sure in due course beaten) by Jason Kenney so it was great to see Sir Chris so happy for him. I also loved his tongue-in-cheek comment that as the medal table was alphabetical he'd still be ahead of Jason Kenney.

Anyone else see the bit that if Jason Kenney & Laura Trott were a country they'd be 13th in the medal table in their own right?

That is probably the most frightening thought ever posted on this forum

Usain Bolt threatening to break the 200m world record. Would love to see it but I'm not prepared to lose my beauty sleep for something that only lasts 19 seconds.

Think that was a bit misleading as they were using their all time records. As opposed to just Rio. Still a mighty impressive couple though!

Are you sure? Looking at the medal table the order seems to be assessed on golds, with silver & bronze as tie breakers if the golds were level, and Spain are currently 13th with 5 golds, total of 8 medals, above New Zealand with 4 golds and a total of 14 medals, so 5 golds would currently put TrottKenney in 14th. If it was their all time record of 10 golds they'd be 7th.
