I thought Womenā€™s hammer was a new range of accessories by P. Sutcliffe.

We have a real chance to form an ever lasting dynasty here.

Trott & Kenny are leading from the front, the remaining members of the cycling teams should pair up and procreate.

Their kids should then all have kids with each other (from other pairings, obv - incest ainā€™t gonna help nothing) and our place as the dominant form in cycling will be cemented.

Yes, itā€™s probably not the most ethical tactic, but hey it sure is fun watching us annihilate the world at a sport.

Can someone collect Froomeā€™s sperm as well?

Knowing how thorough Brailsford is he probably has a fridge full of it already + plans to create the next generationā€¦

Cavendish a tad careless in the Ominiumā€¦looked a bit like an Ice-Hockey moveā€¦taking someone out on the boards.

Come on Cav

Looked a bit naughty but he got away with it - and Trott is awesome.

A lovely medal for Brazil in the Pole Vault beating the Frenchman who thought he could miss a height and still win. Serves him right.

Looked like Cavendish had post Omnium Blues

I need a post Omnium Snooze.

Bloody stupid staying up to 1am to watch but was more interesting than Horse Dancing

I am not to happy with this diving over the line lark itā€™s making a mockery of running.

Change the rules so that you are not in until your last foot or Blade is over the line.

Pole vaulterā€™s dick is his worst enemy during Olympic jump

BY TOM VICTOR
Japanese pole vaulter Hiroki Ogita might have missed out on a place in the Olympic final, but at least heā€™ll have a story to tell his grandkids in a few decadesā€™ time.
Ogita, one of three athletes from Japan competing in the menā€™s event, inadvertently knocked the bar off with his penis, cutting short his dream of glory.

In the first round, with the bar set at 5.30m, it was a case of will he or wonā€™t he on the first attempt. Unfortunately for the 28-year-old, the answer was willy.

Ogita cleared the height at his next attempt, but was left playing catch-up and eventually saw his run come to an end with three failed attempts at 5.60m.

It was certainly a unique way to cock up on the biggest stage, and even if he ends up winning everything in sight before his career is up heā€™ll forever be known as ā€˜the guy who knocked the bar off with his penisā€™ - thatā€™s just how these things work.

The final was won by home favourite Thiago Braz da Silva, with 2012 champion Renaud Lavillenie of France taking silver and Sam Kendricks of the United States winning the bronze medal.

OMG Penny made it to the Olympics!

Hitting the water flat on your back is probably not the way to go in a diving competition.

But even an accomplished olympian occasionally slips at just the wrong moment. Mistiming something that requires so much precision is difficult to recover from no matter how good you are.

Russian diver Nadezhda Bazhina, a 28-year-old with 14 European Championship medals to her name, had an Olympic Games to forget when she made an absolute bags of her dive in the 3m springboard.

Apparently, Bazhinaā€™s foot slipped at the crucial time and things just got worse from there. Donā€™t get us wrong - our diving repertoire doesnā€™t extend much beyond a forward roll into the deep end, and Bazhina begins hers by somersaulting with the best of them. Itā€™s the landing that things very quickly turned sour for, and a score of 0.0 shows just how badly this went in the eyes of the judges.

Again, we donā€™t want to be too hard on the Russian athlete; it was clearly just a little blip. But unfortunately for her, when re-watching the dive we canā€™t help but be reminded of an old John Smithā€™s advert.

Where was famed Olympic diving legend Peter Kay when she needed him?

Top bombing.

Great pic.

So clearly the only way to stop Brits winning more golds is for our athletes to be disqualified for nothing.

The open water swimmer Jack Burnell was disqualified 2m from the finish line for unecessary contact despite him being absolutley sandwiched about 50m from the line!

He was also yellow carded in the open water for, apparently, nothing.

Heā€™s not happy

And now theyā€™ve done it to Callum Skinner in the Kierin, fuckersā€¦came down in to the sprint line too early after overtaking the other riders, apparently.

He did - but it was the Americanā€™s fault for being rubbish at cycling.
