He is called Mohammad. One of Len's cousins? I saw the replays of this just now. Our guy was winning up until the last second when the opponent turned and kicked him in the head to snatch it. He was crying like a baby afterwards in the interview. Play to the whistle son, play to the whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Usain Bolt's birthday is tomorrow, same day as my mum. He'd be 30 this year, like me.. Year of the Tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 What is this shit I'm watching? Gb vs Azerbajsn looks like judo or something but they're just standing there looking at each other like a pair of benders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best of the martial arts, by far, is the Taekwondo. I didn't care for the Judo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I do not know whether to post this here or in the footy thread, but why have the Brazilian football team in the Olympics seen their traditional logo on their team shirts replaced with a Brazilian flag?

Exactly. I do not know why Snakepit finds this amusing as it has been Great Britain's most successful ever Olympics by a country mile; does he not remember 1996 when Britain ended up with one gold? Does he not understand that prior to Beijing, Great Britain's normal position was eighth-tenth on the gold medal list? That was considered respectable! Great Britain is a country of circa. 65,000,000 and we have out performed a country of c. 1,378,000,000, a country (China) which also happen to possess (arguably) the most sophisticated state-sponsored sport infrastructure in the world! Further, Britain has completely walloped sports mad countries like Germany and Australia. Edited August 21, 2016 by DieselDaisy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
