High and lows of Team GB in the Olympics this weekend.
Fucking hell it’s super Saturday and Britain has won so many medals today I’ve lost count.
As has been usual we get the Golden stuff in rowing and sailing but also oddly due to some rule breaking German Leslie Law has been promoted to the Gold medal in the 3 day eventing. The Gold for Chris Hoy in the cycling on Friday has started off a medal grab in this sport also with Bradley Wiggins also getting Gold and others sure to follow.
Shout out for the young Welsh swimmer David Davies. Fucking great performance for the 19 year old in the 1500m freestyle, I think we have a future swimming star here. Gold for Davies in Beijing.
Sunday and what should have been a joyous occasion for Paula Radcliffe turns to sorrow as she pulls out of the marathon a few miles from the finish. After the huge haul of medals on Saturday the country was downcast following this news but we did win a Silver today in rowing with the Women’s coxless quadruple sculls team.
