7's running the Aussie gold medals into the ground. It just makes me want to support whoever's going against Australia even more, since it's such insufferable, irritating coverage.

 

[Gluey]

Well I'm going to be a total bore and head to bed now....

Laterz!

Have a good night, Kim.

Holy shit, that's awesome!

Holy shit, that's awesome!

He'll be up against Bradley Wiggins from Great Britain!!

 

[Gluey]

Not bad for an Ashburton boy is it!

 

[Axver]

Thank god he's not going against an Australian!

(Though that means I probably won't get to see it ...)

I wonder what time it's going to be on...

Canada has won their first gold too!

Stuff says just before 11pm Kiwi time. So in under 45 minutes!

Sup.

Canada and New Zealand have both moved out of the Suckympics to compete with and beat the big boys.

Let's hope Valerie Vili can bring another medal back to New Zealand too ...

I think that individual pursuit final might be on in about half an hour...dunno...trying to work it out...

Hey Ian, how's the hypothermia?

 

[Gluey]

Sup.

I'm hot and you're not!

 

[Gluey]

Ian!! We's got medalz!!!!

 

[Gluey]

See, I am no longer boring...the temptation of more medals has given me a second wind!

 

[Axver]

Hey Kim, two posts to go until you hit 13,000!

 

[coolian2]

Apart from the rain in the first 20 minutes that equalled being damn cold the rest of the night, I'm good.

I'm warming up nicely now.

Game was pretty crap, but any win is a good win.

 

[Gluey]

Hey Kim, two posts to go until you hit 13,000!

Now it's one!

 

[coolian2]

I know! They mentioned the Evers-Swindell gold at a great time in the Warriors game, it lifted the crowd just when it was needed.

Game was pretty crap, but any win is a good win.

I endorse this sort of logic.

 

[coolian2]

The gold or silver in the velodrome is an unexpected bonus, but it's damn good news.

 

[coolian2]

I endorse this sort of logic.

I didn't think it was going to be a particularly flash game, and the weather didn't help!

It seems we've all been forgetting that there's a damn good chance a Kiwi will come away with a medal when the triathlon's run. Everybody's just focused on the rowing in the media, it seems!

Heh, I forgot about the triathlon.

 

[coolian2]

Fuck it, I'm shifting to bed with my laptop.

Back shortly.

We were 1-2 in the men's traithlon last time. Carter's retired now, but Docherty, the silver medallist, has to want that gold this time around.
