Thread: London Olympics 2012

The French cyclists must be quite sick of watching those British arses in front of them all the time.

(There you go Helge, I'm sure you can work with that).

Good old Wiggo, celebrated by getting steaming at St. Pauls.

^ - What an absolutely lovely guy, humility aint the word.
This guy makes me proud to be British not only for his amazing achievments but his down to earth acceptance of his talent,
What a fucking change from most seriously talented humans.

If he wasn't such a party animal in his younger years, he'd have achieved even more.

Loved his post race speach when he said that so many 'celebrities' wallow in self glory and have done fucking nothing.
The only flaw in Bradley's life is that he supports Liverpool but i guess we all have flaws.

As an Aussie I am extremely disappointed by the Australian's inability to turn many silvers into golds but I have been very impressed with the performances of the athletes and as mentioned above.

Remember Wiggo's dad was an Aussie, take pride in that sperm.

As Britain fêtes its newest sporting hero, Bradley Wiggins, the Tour de France champion’s Australian relatives are hoping the publicity may help solve the mystery of his father’s violent death.
Wiggins’s father, Gary, a former professional track cyclist, died of head injuries after being ejected from a party in the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, in 2008. An inquest found he had been assaulted before he died, but returned an open verdict. The coroner stopped short of recommending that charges be laid against two men who were at the party.
Gary Wiggins – who had been living and competing in Europe – abandoned his English wife, Linda, when Bradley was two, returning to his native Australia. With the circumstances of his death still unclear, his sister, Glenda Hughes, is hoping the media coverage of Bradley’s Tour de France win may lead to police being given new information.

Is Federer on his way out of the competition against the big Argie?

Sailing - carnage in the mens laser. 30/40 boats converging on one gate


GBR now 4th in the medal table, watch out Korea!

I just heard Sir Beefy tell Warnie Australia have won a gold.

Bronze in judo and the medals keep flowing.

Federer had to wait 3 hours and 12 minutes to achieve a service break against Del Potro. Probably the longest of his career

Now serving for the match 10-9 in the final set

Jesus he's now lost his own service game, 10-10
