He deserves it. Liam Heath has just won our 25th gold medal in the men's 200m kayak sprint . Fantastic !

Mexican Government Officials Have Press Creds Withdrawn From Olympics Over Uploaded Cell Phone Footage While the Committee probably felt it needed to set an example, taking away the credentials of the Conade staff will be felt back home in Mexico. Conade is the arm of the Mexican government charged with promoting physical education and sport in the country. Before their punishment, they were also the conduit between the Games and their countrymen.
But while the Rio Organizing Committee punishes the whole of Mexico for the sharing of a single video, thousands of people are sharing recorded events at will on sites such as The Pirate Bay.

Would you say the same about Philip Green or any of the footballers who are paid obscene amounts of money?

An amount of money is only obscene ,if someone else has it.

This is getting rather silly I made a comment about Usain Bolt in response to your post and that's that!

So much pleasure being given to us by GB Olympians. Nick Skelton and Nicola Adams have brought really big smiles in this house 😁 Lutalo Muhammed...ooh we all felt for him...so so close and yet so far. What a lovely fellow though. A true sportsman.

More medals for our GB olympians taking our total past the London 2012 haul. Fantastic effort! Must put a favourite song of mine on this thread.
