  1. The IAAF are probably already preparing for a court battle over the 200m for the DSD athletes.
  2. He was born in Athens to a Greek father and Ugandan mother so I would have thought Greek is his native language.
  3. I think Hodkingson will be the best finisher of the British Three but I don’t think she will be quite there on the podium.
  4. Eurosport are reporting major disagreements within the British Camp with athletes not happy with the preparation and organisation.
  5. GB are having a poor Olympics in winning any one on one final in any sport. Following on from Euro 2020 perhaps.
  6. It improves the global spread of the finals. Otherwise things could descend back into the days of only three counties in a final which is not great for the sport.
  7. It might be a long while till one is back on the podium.
  8. The Republic of cheats will certainly finish above GB on the medal table.
  9. I will be surprised if Kenny and Archibald medal in the Maddison as having just caught up with the final Archibald seemed to be the weakest GB rider.
  10. Did someone counter appeal then?
  11. I am going to predict no Gold’s for Gb in the velodrome. I think they will be a few more silver’s and bronzes maybe in the men’s print and Kerrin and women’s omnium.
  12. Laura Kenny getting slaughtered on Twitter - Guess GB not wining gold in cycling is going to be seen as a flop. Jess Varnish will get the blame in the Daily Mail.
  13. Until Frazier’s score came in the BBC were saying all the time from the finish of his routine it would be at least close to a medal.
  14. The British press will spin that inexplicably as the UCI hating GB lol - it’s easy to moan even when GB would have been humiliated in the final.
  15. With Cycling getting silvers for GB will get them a lot more criticism than getting silvers in other sports. The BBC have tried to reduce expectations but it hasn’t really worked going by social media. Cycling is also part of the culture war - both in terms of the British Cycling set up and also the general culture of cycling.
  16. GB have put in a request for Denmark to be DQ (according to the website - I have the gymnastics on the tv)
  17. The BBC commentator has this Olympics started to start accusing the judges of being biased towards the Chinese.
  18. IAAF won’t care - records help build interest in a sport wrecked by retirement and doping and as everyone is doing it nobody at home notices,
  19. I think the worse result in Atheltics will surely be Great Britain. No medals looks a serious possibility and I would not hesitate how much an effect that will have - even those putting in good performances will be affected.
  20. NOS sound just like the BBC.
  21. The two Namibians ( and Semneya and co )
  22. Masalingi has passed my parents feminine test which the 800m three always failed. So maybe many people will find it hard to understand her as much as she doesn’t look like massively masculine unlike those three. Maboma falis it - she is lot more noticeable.
  23. True. I have to reset the urge to tell someone I know defending them on Twitter to piss off because I would get into trouble.
  24. It be interesting how the USA media handle it - there a lot of supporters of Semenya in America.
  25. The IAAF will not want a Namibia medal in the 200m. Semenya and the rest have been controversial enough and coming the day after the weightlifting it could lol get very toxic and bitter.,
