The success of Britain's Olympic and Paralympic stars is to be celebrated with events in Manchester and London, Theresa May has announced.
There will be a parade through the streets of Manchester and another event in the capital in October. xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx Show jumper Nick Skelton became Britain's second-oldest Olympic gold medallist in his seventh Games. The 58-year-old, who initially retired 16 years ago after breaking his neck in two places, claimed individual gold after a six-way jump-off. Quite a outstanding performance rider & horse |

I had a little chuckle at that crying ty kwan dont dude.
It's a contrived event anyway, it's like slightly aggressive ballet. It's almost as bad as the wrestling. |

if you can't make it at boxing
you do UFC/MMA then judo then wrestling then the 'aggressive ballet' |

that is jingoism of the worst kind. The 2nd British 4x100 runner clearly started ahead of the line and was rightly disqualified. You should spend time in the pub with your mate Prince Philip muttering about darkies and slitty-eyed people. |

It makes no sense to be Johnny.
I watched the clip it looked like the guy blocked the head kick at the end. So kicks at the head that don't connect get points? It's a joke of a 'sport' what's the point of it? People don't even fight like that most kicks miss and leave them vulnerable. If you telegraphed a kick like that in a street fight and missed which they invariably do then you can't pretend it was a joke. Just block the kick and get up inside and stick your fingers in their eyes. How many points for that? |

By:
It was a bit bizarre though. At one point the British guy seemed to have knocked the other guy's helmet off with a kick, but slowmo replay showed that he had somehow partially blocked his own kick.
 Also, I didn't see a clean kick to the head winning it in the last second. All very ambiguous and subjective. Hard not to feel for the guy, but I got the impression earlier on that he had already, more or less awarded himself the gold medal before the final. So, maybe he got what he deseved for his complacency. |
|
By:
Farrah didn't look great in the heat for 5000m very panicky that fall in the 10000m really shook him up.
That said, I won't be betting against him. |

Nicola Adams one of the most likeable people in sport, and a total credit to British Sport, great attitude, fantastic !
Not sure if it was my wrong impression (?) but John Inverdale seemed utterly un-interested when interviewing her. And the other day when he was interviewing Anthony Joshua about Adams he was constantly looking around and ignoring him. He has been a terrible presenter on these games. |

What time does the 5000m start please?
