Yeah it is giving me the biggest laugh of the games so far ;D
Poor bastards!

Have missed this - what was so funny ??

Thats first time I have seen that diver (had heard about it) and though it's hilarious I feel really sorry for the guy :rolleyes: No sound at work so what was the reception like in the crowd for it - did people laugh ??

Apparently there were some groans and the judges gave him a 0.0. Bit harsh. Well, kind of.

I couldn't stop laughing at it but at least he can take comfort in the fact that most people laughing have no real athletic ability to speak of.

yeah 0.0 seems a bit harsh. Surely a straight pencil dive should get you something

just googled him apparently a european silver medallist two years ago so obviously just a bad day at office. It says he slipped too but I didn't see any evidence of a slip.

Can Nicola Adams make history by becoming the first Gold medal winning female Olympic boxer ?

Im going to stick me neck out and say yes ;D

Yessssssss. What a way to do it. Dominated Ren. Class.

Unbelieveable performance from Adams !! What a great result, and that's another Gold for today, keeps us firmly in 3rd place, cannot see us losing that spot now!

We also have Jade Jones in the taekwondo fighting later in the semi final, she is a real medal prospect.

His leg slipped off his grasp during the tuck part of the dive.

Well done Katie Taylor. A few pints of the black stuff will be sunk tonight.

And Stamper for the guys in the semis too. But both facing the world number ones so pretty tough. I think it will be a shock if either win. But fingers crossed.

On 3rd - I'm still a tiny bit concerned about Russia. They finish so strong. We were well ahead in Beijing before they caught us in the last few days. But we have a bigger lead this time and still a few prospects.

Remaining prospects -
2 Taekwondo today
2 Taekwondo tomorrow
Mo Farah
Male boxers
Shanaze Read (BMX)
Tom Daley
Sailing - Men's 470
Sailing - Women's 470

Maybe a relay medal but no chance of gold.

That's all I can think of.

Get in Jade Jones!!!!
That was brilliant! @Memphis If she wins gold my Olympic spreadsheet that you love will combust!

I love Taekwondo. All technical for all but 30 seconds of the match then it turns into a pub fight ;D
