    Great stuff Alex!
    I have to say, you have made the blog team roll around the floor laughing with that. Equally, Georgie your submissions have kept us entertained and not doing much work.

    We’re going to give you a Gold medal for that Alex. We love originality.

    Great banter lads!! What are we going to do next week when the Olym-picks have finished!

    This wouldve caused some controversy

    “Read that bikinis are now optional in olympic womens beach volleyball. I got excited. Then I found out they meant shorts could be worn instead” GREG COTE Miami Herald.

    Hahaha

    who has got bigger breasts in the 400m hurdle final ? answer Gold Sally Gold . I guess it pays to have big breasts

  9. Go Ethan Warren!!! Bring home a medal in the diving. Gold will be nice.

  10. Alexandre Despatie just did an upsidedown sitter in the diving. Heartbreaking stuff for Canada in the 3m springboard.

  11. haha, did anyone else see Ethan Warren’s balancing act after he got out of the pool? funny stuff

  12. Looks like his muscles are going to burst. haha. http://www.london2012.com/photos/day-by-day/todays-top.html#fullscreen-zhe-feng-china-competes-the-parrallel-bars. It’s just crazy the amount of strength in the muscles needed to perform these moves.

    Steve Solomon might be just 19 years old, but he’s got a better attitude than many older athletes. Steve came last in his 400m final last night and was THRILLED with his performance. “Someone has to come last in the race and unfortunately it was me today, but I ran my heart out the best I could so I am really happy,” he said. Great outlook Steve!

    “Liu Xiang falls at the first hurdle & fails to make it into the top 3 qualifying places”

    ‘Liu Xiang’ is Chinese for ‘Tottenham’ yes?
