Despite the fact that it took me about 7 attempts to get on the Internet it's turns out today (29/7/12) some people have splashed about in some swimming pools while others have mucked about with horses and boats and others have generally fiddled with their balls. However somewhere in the middle of all that some people broke some world records and others were awarded medals that have now been arranged into something of a table. However if you want to look at one of those I believe there are some specialised websites sites that deal exclusively in that sort of thing. I can't recommend one at the moment because I'm still trying to get my eye in. That reminds me the shooting events now all seem to be finished which is a shame because they're all about trying to centre yourself amid the maelstrom and curiously TeamUS never does as well as you'd expect.
TeamGB has won some medals. Rebecca Adlington won a bronze in I think 400m free style but what ever it was it won't make her less ugly. In the women's cycling road race some girl called "Lizzie" showed the world that the girls did better then the boys at Critical Mass but it was still won by a Dutch girl so feel free to insert your own jokes about Dykes and the Orange Order. Paula Radcliffe has also pulled out of the marathon event. That's no great surprise because at this age she's always been touch and go in the sense that her foot touched the floor and went.
There were also two drug expulsions. These always happen at the Olympics because it so competitive some will always try to get ahead and some will always be caught. A female gymnast from [nation] tested positive for a [name] diuretic which is used to keep her weight down. A female runner from [nation] tested positive for a [name] steroid used to build muscle. Now at around 22:16 on 29/7/12 I'm going out for a cigarette break while I wait for Google help me add words in to the above brackets because I can't even spell durectic let alone name the most popular one on the market.
22:30 Nope not even Google's much use at this point. Anyway the point I was trying to make is that everybody in the Olympic family will already knows the names and nationalities of the expelled athletes along with the banned substances they've tested positive for so there's little point me repeating that information. I suppose I could list the banned substances I've taken today but frankly it would take too long because I'm trying to think of a poetic way to explain the issues surrounding the central line and work out what the hell I meant by those Summer Glau comments in my "The Olympic Opening Ceremony" post. In the meantime though I think we should all definitely burn Rupert Murdoch because he introduced paywalls on his newspaper's online editions - the b*stard! I mean it's not like Olympic events are still continuing and most tomorrow's newspapers have already gone to the printers.
