Just out of interest had a look at the Olympic records for 100m: Freestyle - 46.92 Butterfly - 49.45 Backstroke - 51.85 Breast stroke - 57.13 I hadn't realised quite how much of a difference it makes - I knew breaststroke was slow but over 10 seconds slower is wild! Back in the day I was orate at swimming and tried to do butterfly because the school record was pretty shit given nobody could really do it - it was absolutely horrendous though and gave up trying within a month. No idea how you could be arsed getting good at it because it's bloody hard work! I finally get it, freestyle is front crawl. Feel a bit daft nowπ€¦π»ββοΈ Not sure mate - I think historically it meant you could do any stroke but typically folk do front crawl as it's the quickest. Imagine if you're in a 4x100 and the bloke on the 'freestyle' leg thinks 'fuck it- I'll give backstroke a go!'

I could definitely handle a bit of this! π I'd take time off work to watch that, if only to watch them lean into corners!. Before you know it they'd me made out of carbon fibre with competitors wearing all the streamlined gear, wonderful stuff. Especially if they did the one where a group of them on penny-farthings chase a bloke on a scooter for a couple of laps before exploding towards the finish.

Vindicates his decision to treat the TdF as a training camp. Unless the French protest about the final move, but that shouldnβt stand based on their relative position on the course at the time. Hopefully he keeps being a rider who does MTB and road and abandons any ideas of contending in GTβs because thatβs not happening. Commentary right at the finish was not exactly built to a crescendo!

Watched the first 3 laps during lunchtime then had to go back to work, mental stamina they must have.

The bloke is a proper beast and hopefully nothing comes of the collison. It does happen fairly frequently in the World Cup events with no penalty.

Men's gymnastics team final: China went into the final apparatus with a huge lead. Then a guy fell twice, and Japan overtook them for gold. USA bronze.

2 golds yesterday and all the talk is about Tom Daley who got a silver, I hate seeing people get special treatment. Yes he did well but come on focus on the gold medal winners a bit more hey
