You're telling me I missed the women's pole vault?
they'll repeat it right?

TVNZ comment of the day:
During the Olympic mens' trialthlon - "Well Brendon, at this level, it's the Olympic Games"

Andrew Saville, I'd guess.
The Saveloy could never be funny, at least not intentionally.

rish guy wins 200m heat. Our airhead interviewer: "What's it like being up against all these black men?"
Not to mention, 'You're an inspiration for white New Zealand men.'
No that can't have happened, surely not...still at least it wasn't, "how do you feel?"

re: cycling team
Bronze is sweetest when you beat Australia to get it! -
why have the likes of Saville (“So Michael, when are you coming to NZ next?”) only just cottoned onto this now?
I'd be surprised if the Savaloy knows what's going on right now.

Nooooooo... they're recyicling the cycling pursuit commentator for the triathlon.
That is the worst sports news I've heard all day.
Cue drinking game: you take a little sip every time the guy says protocol or physiology; the prize is a guaranteed trip to A&E.
Don't forget "sleeping giant" and "she/he has a big engine" and "winding it up now"
By the way The Dropkicks are running a drinking game competition for those who have good ideas for passing the time while watching the Olympics.

if there were a few more sports hacks in the MSM like Hadyn (who in my not at all humble opinion is an enthusiast in the very best sense) I'd be a very happy chap indeed.
Hadyn begins to rewrite his CV...
And thanks Sue! Flattery is always accepted.
Although I suppose I should point out that I am an educated scientist too.

This piece from Omega, raises something I should've thought of (by putting 2 and 2 together).
With timing Olympic swimming comes the problem that it is impossible to create a pool where each lane is exactly the same length!
So was it the fact that Phelps' lane was .001seconds shorter?

How about that Usain Bolt? He smashes the 100m record, cruising with his arms out wide from about 80m, all with one of his shoes untied (supposedly).
Michael Phelps, bah.
Yeah but when Phelps won his medals he wasn't even wearing shoes!
