graculusAfter 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? ;)
