Is it? Really and here's me constantly posting about the volleyball and everything with no mention of sporting achievement. I was merely commenting on the spectacle of extremes.Quote:

USA gymnast McKayla Maroney showed extremely poor sportsmanship after finishing second in Sunday's vault final. I know she had to be extremely disapppointed with the silver, since she was such a huge favorite. But she was way off base by basically, mostly refusing congratulations from the gold medal winner and the other gymnasts. She came off as a spoiled brat, for which I'm glad she lost. We certainly don't need more little sore losers in the world.
Anthony Joshua improves over his lucky win against Savon, and even the Fenster curse can't slow him down. Guaranteed medal, and I thought he really did well against Zhang. Zhang did look like a Klitschko clone, had the same jab as Wladimir.
Come on the Brown Lee brothers.
Gold and bronze, well done lads
Some more Golden insight from Amir last night. Joshua will win his semi and then hopfully make it into the final ;DQuote:

@rhun - don't count your chickens yet... there'll be 10 seconds left, big Joshua in an unassailable lead, Richie Woodhall singing his praises for an heroic performance (10 seconds is a long time for the Fenster curse).
Liu Xiang falling at the first? Coincidence? Sorry China.
Congratulations to the British guy Rutherford the long jumper for winning gold the other day and more importantly for proving that gingers can overcome their deformity and become very successful in everyday life. Plus being a ginger means he automatically qualifies for the Paralympics* although now they're allowing a ramp I don't fancy his chances against some of those wheelchair longjumpers.
*Looking forward to the Saddo 2012 Paralympic Youtube thread.
Well done Hoy, Pendleton is a bottler.
I thought the triathlon was good. I agree that the support was really nice. I almost had a feeling.
You take that back Victoria is beautiful.Quote:

All this prematurely ageing eyes and wrinkly red chest stuff has just exposed you as far shallower and more inconsequential than those you would lampoon.Quote:
