Danny Barrett trying to start a fight with a guy he has 8 inches on

Yes but over only 3 Olympics. Whereas Redgrave and Phelps have competed in more so sustained success isn't a factor if you pick Ewry. Not selecting either way just an interesting topic.

I would consider longevity as one of many factors that strengthens someone's claim, but it is tough make comparisons when some sports (like rowing, fencing, shooting and archery) naturally allow competitors to have a longer career than others.

Judo tense

Damn so so close.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Yeah, great match.

She's performed really well, might well be in for a Bronze.

 

[SelimNiai]

May not look the tidiest sport, I may have describes it as 2 people in their dressing gowns having a drunk hockey fight. But having seen a few more matches I understand the tactic behind it, that was a close fight, our girl so close to winning it. Lets hope she goes and gets the bronze

 

[ratsapprentice]

Judo is awesome fun, would love to do it again.

 

[ncurd]

I'm more worried about another fencing heartbreak 4th for her.

And that's the closest you'll see to a belly flop at the Olympics.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

wonder if more pressure is on you in the bronze medal match.

at least in a Gold and silver fight you def have a Medal.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Depends on your mentality, I guess.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Kenya are going to exile their rugby team.

 

[ncurd]

YES well deserved Bronze

 

[SelimNiai]

Ah great. Well deserved

 

[ncurd]

Tom Daley may not be the first Britain to win diving gold at the moment.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

YES well deserved Bronze

That line scared the ****e out of me. I thought the rugby was over and that i had missed all the games, hehe.

 

[ncurd]

Sorry really should say which sport.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tuisova shouldn't be allowed to play rugby.

 

[ncurd]

Americans being ***s in the diving.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Americans being ***s in the diving.

Thought you said America bringing ***s in the diving thinking WTF.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

What?

 

[ncurd]

Thought you said America bringing ***s in the diving thinking WTF.

Nope redive then they protested it for no good reason. It wasn't like the Mexicans were in contest with them and they were already delayed.

What?

The Mexicans bodged their dive possibly due to lights coming on. Were granted a redive then the Americans who were up next protested it. Complete farce.
