I said that Alistar looked like Mr Muscle in his outfit

And well done to the dressage as well.

 

[Blah11]

so we've totally dominated rowing, cycling and now the horses?

This is definitely your games guys, there have been such wonderful results in all disciplines.

 

[Tasha]

Have you seen that some are saying that there is something dodgy cos we won so much in the cycling?

Thank you

And it looks like the success is doing great things for the paraolympics too. Ticket sales are going crazy, and it looks set to be the biggest paraolympics ever, so that is great.

What like fixing or something? I was wondering if people were going to start saying stuff like that, especially after the whole thing with that swimmer.

People just need to accept that we're awesome

 

[Blah11]

how can you fix someone riding faster than someone else?

 

[Tasha]

Some have said about doctored bikes, the fact that Chris Hoy's helmet is aerodynamic and no else's is (choice right?), the fact that whilst waiting some of our athletes have special shorts on that keep their muscles warm. Basically a lot of money has been invested in finding out little techniques that help and people dont like it

 

[Tasha]

Our bikes have met the stringent tests btw.

 

[Blah11]

ridiculous. what about the US dominating swimming? china with diving?

 

[Tasha]

I know. It is stupid. We have dominated the horse stuff too, wonder if we doctored them as well as the rowing boats

It was a french official who said tht our wheel are like magic but the daft thing is that a french company makes the wheels for our cyclist! Ridiculous. One of the reasons why we are good at cycling is because we have great funding, excellent coaches and a few facilities around the country for people to train.
