As is all of ours, did you hear Cavendish's excuses after the cycling? Uncalled for really he blamed his loss on the Australian team not helping him..
Yeah I did think that was particularly pathetic - saying the reason you didnt win something is because the opposing teams tried to prevent you from winning is pushing it a bit........ what exactly was he expecting them to do!?
I do fear that our boys put in such a magnificent effort in the tour de france that they might not have enough left for the olympics.....
There are some ridiculous non-event events in the olympics, like "solo synchronized swimming" (how the **** is that even possible?), dressage, air rifle shooting and women's football.
I expected that too, wish the Olympic committee had put it on later... Although I wouldn't be too surprised either if the gold medal winner gets done for doping again.
I think one of the more ridiculous events was the 10m Air pistol shooting.
I think Cavendish's comments were the cycling equivalent of Barcelona complaining about "anti-football" however..
Anyway...... I do think the olympic cauldron was absolutely spectacular....... definitely a triumph of the opening ceremony...
For those of you that didnt watch it is made up over over 200 little vases, one for each of the countries competing, brought in with each of the teams on the athletes procession:
Was wondering what those vases were for, wonderful idea for the cauldron.
Not sure when they started wearing face masks in field hockey, makes the players look like Jason from Friday the 13th.
Addlington did a Phelps barely making it into the final. Pellegrini is in the final she's eye candy.
