Team GB's first gold in rowing!

Gold for Bradley Wiggins, hot on the heels of winning the TDF, now Britains most decorated Olympian.
And lets not forget his wing man Chris Froome, who got bronze

[QUOTE=commonwealth;10204592]Team GB's first gold in rowing!

This made me chuckle lifted from another Forum


I think it's a gay pride festival.
I heard mention of rings, an opening ceremony and some men in a boat thanking their cox.

DD would have beaten two swimmers in the first heat of the women's 100free. I told her she is going to have to go and get Nepalese citizenship!!
