Evening all!
Watching hockey too?

I am think we're going out unfortunately.

 

[Dreamboat1209]

Hey all,

I’m just glad I just have to use the train and not the underground! Too many peculiar people on the underground

Evening all.

Cycling is good, but not enough events for me.

There are many more in the Worlds.

[lingus60]

It's the Olympics... other sports are available thank God. Something for everyone...

Are you talking about just cycling?

 

[Sparky74]

There are 32 sports over 16 days of competition.

There is only ever a maximum of 40.

 

[orangecurious]

Well, that was a pretty good result

 

[Sparky74]

Well, that was a pretty good result

Pretty good start only another 7 golds to go.

 

[orangecurious]

11 more golds to go on the track

 

[Sparky74]

Was just talking about the Girls. As per Dame LauraKenney said she is predicting 8 Golds.

 

[orangecurious]

That will be a minor miracle as there are only 6 events for the women. 6 for the men too.

Keely Hodgkinson tonight at 8.45? 800m
I had a friend who ran 800m - looked like a root canal filling with no anaesthetic
I could do 200 & 400 provided there was an ice cream van at the finish

I could do those distances... on a bike. (provided there was coffee and cake at the finish)

I think I would be the same but rather than an ice cream van it would be a female runner who had just completed a race and was hot and sweaty

Fingers crossed for her! I did 100, 200, long and triple back in the dark ages when we wore spikes! Ouch! 800 is long distance!

I remember throwing up after our first senior training session. The coach was impressed. He told me I ran like a 400m runner, the bastard.

 

[lingus60]

Impressed with the throwing up or the running?

 

[Sparky74]

Impressed with the throwing up or the running?

Maybe both
