If they were any good they wouldn’t need punching would they?

Hursty

Mad_Cyril To be fair we’ve won male and female gold so it has a pass now.

Of course we would win, fencing, horsing, shooting, running and swimming, only a certain class of individual have the funds to do this through childhood

Millsy

Hursty just missing Latin imo.

Should make fox hunting an Olympic sport

My best friend’s wife’s brother represents Sweden in the dressage.

They are practically royalty.

Smallman1

They had a pre wedding party on an island called Koster in Sweden.

Mamma mia!

Smallman1

The dad has had 6 children with 6 different women.

What an absolute ledge.

Hursty

Smallman1 wow, fair play

Smallman1

Probably cost him north of £10m tbf.

Hursty

Jason Kenny, what a ledge, like Wiggo without the bravado

Hursty or the drugs

LOL

Yeah let’s all worship some lyrcra-clad nonce for going round in a circle on his bike in myriad subtly different formats.

Meanwhile, Athens burns.

Hursty

C_J No one cares about the climate, especially those who are in power. Short term goals innit

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Lol, quite like the format actually over the 1v1 sprint.

Never been to watch love velodrome racing, going to have to make the effort to take the family when the next big event in London is on.

Overall it’s been another stellar performance by Team GB, we really do punch well above our weight consistently now.

Along_the_Wire

Hursty there’s a big UCI event on I’m December at the Olympic Park. Can’t remember what it’s called.

mono-stereo

Overall I think those Japanese mega boffins did a sound job.

No fucker ever shows up to watch the minority sports anyway, so the lack of crowds wasn’t so much of an issue IMO.

Amps

Boss games, didn’t catch anywhere near as much as I normaly would, but enjoyed all the new stuff as much as the classics. Bring on Paris, should be well decent.

Already heard it, Reykjavik was better.

Millsy
