He did quite well in the first 2/3 of the track, then the problems and penalties came. Good luck to him in second round.A guy I know is competing today in the Men's K1 Kayak Slalom if anybody wants to watch somebody "local" at the Olympics.
Johny Akinyemi is a Warrington athlete representing Nigeria and races at (approximately) 5:22pm today, with his second run at roughly 7:22pm. Johny didn't have much luck in the run up to Rio and almost didn't make it due to his custom built kayak being damaged in transit followed by a problem with his intended flight to the games. A social media campaign was able to raise awareness of his unfortunate circumstances and get him there for the opening ceremony, where he proudly walked out with the rest of team Nigeria.
the BBC article is here:
He's one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet and 100s of friends and family will be proudly watching him compete later today.
Good Luck #Kayakinyemi
Thank feck for that if true, was dreading the worst with the way she landed and didn't move in the time it took for the next rider to pass.Dutch coach just confirmed she is in an ambulance and is back to consciousness.
Aye, so did I. As far as I heard she's in shock though. The race goes on, like it always does, but it did take the shine of it.Thank feck for that if true, was dreading the worst with the way she landed and didn't move in the time it took for the next rider to pass.
Unfortunately couldn't put together a good round and his Olympics is over. Similar story to London - think he'll be disappointed with himself but everybody is proud of the work he's put in to get there and we know he gave his all.He did quite well in the first 2/3 of the track, then the problems and penalties came. Good luck to him in second round.
Beach volleyball or are you at they gay bar again?Some nice buttocks on show.
Hehe.Beach volleyball or are you at they gay bar again?
This is correct.Hehe.
Synchronised diving. Or something. And beach volleyball players don't have nice arses, whereas the divers have lovely thighs and butt cheeks.
The descent on those corners of the track down that hill looked very dangerous, as were proved yesterday in the mens race where two of the leaders crashed around the same spot.Are cycling crashes like that relatively common on the tougher tracks or should there be some concerns raised about the suitability of the track? The commentators mentioned treacherous a lot more often than I'd have expected them to.
Apparently she has 3 fractured vertebrae and a severe concussion as you said. Dutch newspaper indicated she would remain in intensive care for at least another 24 hours but that she has full functionality of her body. Seems to lean toward her being in good shape comparatively to what was initially feared.Lots of conflicting reports about Van Vleuten. First was reported as her being fine, now seems to be intensive care with serve concussion and 3 fractures in her spine.
Remember when Schumacher was taken to hospital, it was first just reported as a precautionary visit..
Those blind corners and the dangerous concrete border, I'd say they were looking for trouble. It was within the final 20km so riders were always going to take huge risks that close to an olympic medal.Are cycling crashes like that relatively common on the tougher tracks or should there be some concerns raised about the suitability of the track?

Also, the track was getting wet at that point.Those blind corners and the dangerous concrete border, I'd say they were looking for trouble. It was within the final 20km so riders were always going to take huge risks that close to an olympic medal.
I don't know how that fraud of an activity be called a sport and be at Olympics. Might as well introduce Cricket in T20 format then. West Indies will split into 4-5 countries(GB will consolidate 3 though), we have around 16 who play World cup in shorter format and some more who play for qualifying. Then Chinese and US will start playing any sport if Olympics medal a possibility.I hate the dressage
Silly sport and my tv station cut away from judo for this crap
Probably because some rich lord wanted it in during the 1800sI don't know how that fraud of an activity be called a sport and be at Olympics
Whoever swam the first leg was poor too I thought. McEvoy was really good though.Magnussen cost Australia in the relay.
He spends too much time drinking his own bathwater
