After the World Championships a few weeks ago, I have to say that my interest in the Olympics has been somewhat focussed on the cycling to the detriment of the other events (except hockey, which I will always watch given half a chance, though I see the sticks rules have relaxed a little since my day!).

After two medals so far on the road, we're now set for gold and silver in the women's 3000m pursuit - all that remains is sorting out who gets what! *snickers*

In other Olympic news, well done to Rebecca Adlington for picking up her second gold in the pool, completely decimating the rest of the competition and breaking a world record that has been in place since she was a few months old. Almost distracted me from thoughts of Chris Hoy's thighs... ;)

E.T.A.: Gold and bronze in the men's pursuit, gold and silver in the men's keirin! What was that comment from the French pre-Olympics that the Brits had peaked too soon and couldn't possibly replicate their success away from home? ;)

That was a great swim and so was the cycling fight between GB and France. Congratulations!

Yes I've been watching more then just the equestrian events, although I must admit to be focussing on those and the rowing :-)

Heh. You just want us to beat the French. ;)

LOL

There might be a bit of that ;-)

Rowers look good too - er well yes big lads. Oh and they just play to our minds. The really blond Brit having just won gold in the coxless four (read that carefully) leaning back against his immediate neighbour and saying "I love you, I love you".

4 men, a boat, sweat, striving to stroke together ... it writes itself doesn't it? Oh and one of the four is also a member of the Royal Navy.
