A foot race before the sun comes up (or at least about the time it does) sounds like great cover for favela attacks with their fancy holo-sighted rifles. :mil101:

I've learnt a lot from these Olympics. For example:
Torch thefts: attempts 2, successes 2
Torch extinguishings: attempts 2, successes 0

You'd think it'd be the other way around

Some of the UK betting shops are doing a special deal where if you bet for a UK athlete and they come second to a Russian competitor they will award you your bet as if they had come first.

i looked it up, and i don't think anyone has to worry about this happening. the british are only consistently competitive with rowing and sailing, though every once in a while they do produce exceptional single athletes in other sports. the winners of the water events will be whoever has the best immune systems.

nah there's a pretty good chance the UK female boxer is gonna take a medal, I forget which weight class

Mo Farah is a good long distance runner, and cycling did pretty well last time out

E: I suppose it doesn't contradict you, you could say they're good single athletes, but since these days any athlete only has a very limited competitive lifespan it's much less consistent than it used to be for any country. But boxing, usually some kind of long distance or marathon runner, like a diver or a swimmer, sailing and rowing as you say, and cycling are pretty consistent events for the UK

Anyway UK gold for dressage, calling it now.

mostly i just wanted to make fun of gb pretending to compete with the russian roid-fueled monstrosities, but i guess the last couple games they have done quite well (4th and 3rd in beijing and london). though, gb has been kind of lovely overall since the 1920's but i'm guessing most of the major competitors have very uneven records so that's not entirely fair.

You can compare it to the attitude a lot of Americans have to cops (support are boys in blue!), only instead of defending them unconditionally when a black adult gets shot they do it upon the murder of children of any color wearing flip-flops
