Team GB medal count!

at end of yesterday :-) hopefully lots more today!

'so engrossed in your own asshole'

Brilliant - What a nice down to Earth chap. Unlike, for instance, that arrogant pot of toss, Murray.

Pity about the swearing, but hey - he only did it twice, one was a quote and the other was funny.

The women's footie, both semi finals have been superb stuff....

Winning a medal in the rowing is a very.... er.... pleasing experience.......

You can keep your 18 gold medals.....

We've got KT!

Actually her bout with the British girl yesterday was marvellous entertainment and fought in fantastic spirit (and, ok, bizarrely, it was a little bit erotic...). It was like boxing used to be: the venue, the crowds, the passion, the lights, the intensity but without any of the nastiness surrounding it (so, yeah, maybe a little bit WoS wrestling but none the worse for it). And both Katie and Tasha are total sweethearts.

Indescribable. Catch it online if you haven't seen it - only four 2 minute rounds and put aside any reservations about women's boxing. I could only find this on Youtube which gives a flavour of the atmosphere:

Did you see the women's shotput finals? And the man who won?

Saw most of USA + The Ref v Canada. Better football than GB's last game, but the ref might just as well scored USA's third goal herself.

And why were all the officials women? Isn't that sexist?

At least 'he' beat that one-woman-haka Adams into second place................

Isn't that a bit beneath you, Meow, as you are so often the lone challenger of the sexism and misogyny that pervades these fora? I watched the contest and found Ms. Ostapchuk (a mother of three, incidentally, not that that should make any difference) to be an endearingly human character right up to the tearful medal ceremony.

Is it? Am I exempt from making any kind of comment? She is incredibly manly and butch as are many of the athletes. Interesting that the men of this board are permitted to make sexist comments every day, but my one comment is jumped on. Hmmm...

Do you think it's sexist when all the officials for men's football are male?

Team GB on 18 golds at the start of today, in Beijing we finished with 19 golds...

the triathlon is on right now...chance of one now!

great quote and i'm loving the use of the word "fora" ! never in a zillion years could i ever get that word into a Bored post !

bloody bravo !

loving the entire London 2012 games btw... bloody, bloody bravo to all orgainsers and athletes..wonderful spectacle.

Yes.

Although given that the pool of officials to be drawn from is--for whatever reason--predominantly male, it is highly likely that a random draw would result in only male officials, and highly unlikely that it would be all female. So there's obviously sexism at work, but if its done with the inention of demonstrating that female officials can be just as good--or, in the case of the USA v Canada match, just as bad--as males, then fine.
