Gutted. He stays on the kerb and he has silver, Josh has gold. Stupid boy!
Great interview by them both though. Honest and frank with no BS.

I had shock wave therapy on my injured heel this afternoon. Running on the spot screaming "watch the yank, watch the yank" is not part of my rehab!

Another shocking boxing decision

Do you think so?Another shocking boxing decision
Personally I thought the Mexican was unlucky to be only 3-2 up after the first round. Richardson won the 2nd round but didn't put enough work into the 3rd round and got hit with better shots than what he managed to lay on the Mexican. Could have gone either way depending on the judges view of the fight but not a shocking decision from this armchair point of view.

What is it with Paula Radcliffe and her constant sharp intakes of breath.

She sounds very breathy all the time. Drives me mad. Occasionally she talks with more volume and it sounds much better so not sure if she's somehow changing her voice because of the microphone. Anyway. It certainly belongs in the Random Irritations thread!

PS I counted the number of words she says before an inward breath...I can easily do twice as many. Weird. Both her needing to do it and me testing it!

Didn’t she have life threatening asthma?

Exercise induced asthma I think so not life threatening as such.

Excruciating. I like to think I have a high pain threshold but it's right at my limit. 3000 shocks a session which is about 3 minutes and I'm writhing and sweating and gnashing teeth throughout!! Only my 2nd session but I'd say once it settled down a bit last week I felt more confident when walking and less limping. Not tested with running/tennis yet but it's a cumulative effect and minimum of 3, maximum of 6.
So far I'm slightly optimistic to its efficacy I'd say.

This mixed walk/run/mince event is absolutely hilarious, and please don't tell me they're not running.
Lots of joggers round where I live but I've never seen anyone moving like these guys and gals.
I don't think they'd dare!

It can't be healthy. They do all look like they're airborn to me. Think they sub 7 minute mile though so pretty fast!

One of the most pointless events of all. In the whole debate of what is a sport and what isn't, and what should and shouldn't be the Olympics... Olympic Walking?? Nah. Not for me. As you say they're all jogging anyway so a complete waste of time.
Olympics viewers left baffled after spotting ‘every single’ athlete is ‘cheating’ in men’s walking race
People are convinced that some athletes that took part in today's 20km walk race were technically breaking the rules
Just get rid of it.

The judges are waving cards constantly. So the one who cheats best wins?? It is all about pushing the boundaries of the rules which seems wrong...

I can't see the point of it. You might as well have a 1000m jumping or 500m hopping or something. Would be like having a F1 race but the cars are limited to 30mph. Worthless.
