  • Field Theory: Long Weekend,

    Mike at the Dropkicks managed to unearth the Michael Phelps frame by frame.

  • Field Theory: Olympic Eye Candy,

    Yes I did. They also cut out the Paula Radcliffe "pit stop" from the marathon replay.

    There's a theme there.

    There can't be much fun in having a right thumping being played over and over on TV as a "medal moment"

    Like poor Roulston.

    What's up with the (lack of) Hockey coverage?

    I was watching hockey this afternoon. Or are you talking about New Zealanders?

    Oh, shit! Hadyn. Sorry, bro.

    Ha! No worries

    I feel so sorry for Paula Radcliffe.

    She owns so many world records, is one of the greatest female runners of all time and the only thing people tend to remember her for is stopping for a pee on national television during the London Marathon.

    So what happens when she stops for a toilet break during the Olympic marathon? We get a replay of the event.

    We were laughing about this little snippet (as Roulston was clearly being beaten)

    "A sleeping giant has been woken...is his name Hayden Roulston? ...He must climb this mountain"

    I think by the end he was just free associating.

    I scared the crap out of my dogs

    Our cat ran under the chair

    I picked it by eye ...

    Were you able to pick Phelps earlier in the day? I couldn't :)

    Weird things are afoot. The TVNZ site shows that we have three bronze medals?

    Seems they are saying Nicola Coles and Juliette Haigh came third.
    Pics (coz it did happen) here, here and here

    And by the way how much of a fool was Pete Montgomery, just after the finish when it was unclear who won, when he said "Germany first, Great Britain second and New Zealand third"

    Ah, no PM, those are their lane numbers

    Was I the only one who had a sneaking hope that he'd throw up on those smarmy IOC hangers-on they always seem to find to present the medals?

    No you definitely weren't

    Wet Girl Drumming? I approve.

    the wet girl drumming was weird, but not really prev-worthy, for that you have to see the beach volleyball cheerleaders, you'll never guess what they are wearing.

    John McBeth made me laugh this afternoon though with his paean to the effects of the new togs on the female figure.

    Ditto that was hilarious, you could actually hear Anthony Mosse looking at him like "dude, wtf?"

    my personal perv list has the rowers near the top

    We were just talking about that. Amy says they are "very square".

    I don't know why but most of the swimmers don't do it for me

    Me neither (though I'm talking about the women). I think the mens' chests are too small because they are all shoulders, especially the sprinters.
