Olympic Cycle Race Now

[trt]

All together now.....

And the wheels of the bikes go round & round, round & round, round & round.

Why dont they just have a mile sprint, and be done with it, its so boring!!!!

Never mind the *** Olympics...why was my Midsomer Murders delayed because of a 'friendly' football match

divebuddy; //Athletic "walking" events (walking quickly without actually running) are probably the most ludicrous of all.//
As the parrot said attempting to walk a tightrope at the vicarage tea-party, "Ludicrous perhaps, but f******g difficult!"

My thoughts are with Annamiek van Vleuten who thankfully is conscious and talking after today's nasty crash.

Check out a vid on YouTube. Can't remember the name, but it's something like favela cycle ride. A mad dash from the statue through the favela. It's brilliantly hair raising.

DB. The girl who crashed very badly on the decent is OK ?

[ChillDoubt]

Yes she is Anne, as I posted.

[anneasquith]

Oops. Meant chill.

"NJ; I have often thought that if a tv channel was brave enough to launch a chess programme at a high tournament level with expert commentary on all the implications of each move it would be a winner, "

Fifty or morre years ago there was such a series, Khandro (long predating computer games, of course). It was not a winner.

[Khandro]

NJ. Out of interest, and way off-piste, (sorry trt) but have you ever seen this?
