Is that the one where they have to go past and come back through gates in the rapids? Jebus, what a brutal event.

by JKLever Tue 12 Aug 2008, 10:21

Aye - you get jostled every which way.

by skully Tue 12 Aug 2008, 10:22

Must be absolutely deadly on the lower back.

Zimbabwe has medals, SA doesn't. Smile

Pleased to see us actually win a medal outside the pool for a change.

Bugger - the Aussie guy who was second after the first leg of the K1 white water just stuffed up his second run and misses a medal.

The German wins the K1

And the guy from Toga won his country's first ever Olympic medal with a bronze. Well played by him.

Tom?

Horrie?

Are Victoria competing separately now?

Was it in Graeco-Roman Pombaiting?

by Brass Monkey Tue 12 Aug 2008, 11:07

If it was horrie, no doubt the World Boring And Unimaginative Championship.

Tonga or Togo?

by skully Tue 12 Aug 2008, 11:20

Yeah oops. Togo.

by PeterCS Tue 12 Aug 2008, 11:27

Not Tongo?

The British archer Naomi Folkhard has an appealing name.

And she's a pear.

A pear or a peach?

Perhaps she's a Drongo.

Fark, you're older than I thought . . .

by skully Tue 12 Aug 2008, 11:37

One or two growth rings more than you, I think.

by PeterCS Tue 12 Aug 2008, 11:43

Possibly more dongo than drongo.

But from Worcestershire.

And don't say saucy.

Skulls - round the midriff?

by tac Tue 12 Aug 2008, 11:57

Not around his cock, from what I hear . . .

Harsh but fair. And I'm probably carrying 5 kg too many, Pete, but doing OK thanks. Wink
