aaid Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The UK Women's team pursuit just broke the world record - again - in the velodrome.  They've dominated that event for the last 8 years or so and don't get anything near the credit and recognition they deserve.

It was the Commonwealth Games.  They found that since they were introduced that head injuries had actually increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically they have used the UK coat of arms made some changes that are hardly noticeable and then thought let's remove the unicorn and make it another lion. When seen in mono colour the small details don't get noticed but it stands out the change from unicorn to lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty accurate reflection of GBs constituent parts by population. The last Lions tour still rankles. Richie Gray coming on with 20 minutes to go in the third test. Was the first (and only) test Scot. That said IIRC the starting 15 in one of the tests had 10 Welshmen! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know how to take Armstrong. I've watched The Armstrong Lie and listened to him on Joe Rogan's podcast for 3hrs. Of course he cheat d and was rightly punished/ostracised, but there was something about him in his interviews that made him listen for the whole hog - he's intelligent, quick-witted, funny and even has a bit of humility - well did on the podcast episode regading the doping, but I'm still tore that he cheated to such an extent and is most likely a sociopath who walked over pal's and lied.
