I've been on summer hols the last 2 weeks and with the weather being so poor have watched quite a bit of the Olympics.
TaeKwondo reminded me a lot of that bit on MP and the Holy Grail where the Knight gets his limbs chopped off- I think there's a bit where he is leaping around with no arms trying to kick the other one... that is a bit like WTF TKD.
Swimming was good for us but is Phelps really that good- he won medals swimming just different distances mostly... I'd be more impressed if he perhaps did some high diving too or some triathlon.
I actually really got into the Beach Volleyball- very skilful and athletic.
The Hockey was a bit of a disappointment but today I saw the mens bronze match which was fantastic. 3 goals in the 1st 5 minutes and such aggressive play. Beats me why they don't apply the rules though as I see them written in the rulebook.
Eurosport showed a lot of Handball. Tried to play it once in Germany. Harder than it looks.
Why is Rhythmic gymnastics in there? And anything synchronised.
The white water canoeing was exciting and it looked like a very taxing course. Harder than Nottingham?
British Cycling was on top form. I think i used to cycle to work near the velodrome on Aylestone Rd in Leicester.... back then we didn't get medals of course. Oh, and a Totnes link- Chis Boardmans radical carbon fibre bike of a few years ago- built in Totnes wasn't it?
