How do they do THAT?

It's kind of mesmerising and very clever but I just can't cope with the way they strut in with all the makeup and fake smiles!:D

I saw this on FB today...

Bradly Wiggins takes no :poop: from anyone! I love his directness. A reporter questioned him after the long distance race and asked if he was still tired after winning the Tour De France and was that wy Cavendish failed to win a medal? Wiggy replied with, ' Don't ask stupid questions!' and walked away!

There was an interesting feature on BBC Breakfast this morning. It looked at number of medals per head of population.

GB was one medal per 1 million
USA was 1 medal per 3 million
China was i medal per 6 million.

But way ahead was Grenada with 1 medal per 110,000.

Yer, we had similar here the other morning, and it completely changes countries success when viewed per capita. The big ones like USA, China and UK were all way down the list, with little countries like Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, etc, up the top.

I think that says more than the "who has most" list, when you start talking per capita.

So- random thought. Why are THEY ALL wearing spandex bathing suit things?

I mean really, it's that streamline? Really effects how well they dive for volleyballs, or bicycle or row? Just go naked then!!

............please?

:whistling:

I'm thinking... thank goodness the games are about over. Yeh... return of normal TV programs.

There's nothing decent on the 'olympic' channel here when the olympics aren't on. Anyone know where the next winter olympics will be?
