    Just watched Cuban Greco-Roman wrestler Nunes Lopes win his fifth consecutive Olympic Gold Medal. Brilliant!

    Also --
    Rev Preedy once again endeavoured to use sport as part of his ministry and opened a boxing club at the mission.[12][13] Future world champion Terry Allen boxed at the club as a youngster, and among the wrestlers who trained there was future British champion and Olympic Games competitor George MacKenzie.[14]

    Gabby Thomas was as nailed on as Keely was last night.

    Unlucky Josh Kerr, ran as good as he could, just not quite enough on the night.

    Hopefully these boxing judges are reffing the Mansfield game. We should get 18 penalties in the first half.

    Felt sorry Richardson in boxing. Don't agree with judged sports in Olympics. Great attitude to losing though.

    How did it go then Josh?

    I ran a PB and got the silver. I took a second off the national record, off the great Mo Farah, I ran 2 seconds faster than Seb Coe or Steve Cram ever ran, there's only half a dozen people who have ever run faster. I think I did alright.

    Oh right, it's just there's a bloke on a football forum that reckons it's not good enough.

    If it was good enough for him why was he on about L.A in four years time and mentioning he was only 26?

    He was gutted. He just hid it well. He wanted gold and that'll do for me.

    Cheers. Not an expert but read earlier that he had by far the best kick and thought the bloke with the best kick is probably never 18/1 to win

    20 years as Olympic champion is certainly worth celebrating @red-Taff!
