Are you cute?

Maybe, but she will definitely be a hoot!

Twice so far I have heard reporters use the word "atherletes". I have kept my eyes open and have spotted a great many athletes, but up until now not a single atherlete.

This is getting on Mrs. P's wick too...

I've just seen some ladies playing beach volleyball.

They were playing in yellow bikinis, and the funny thing was that the tops had "BRA" on them.

I looked and looked, but couldn't see if the lower garments had "PANTS" written on them??

Some of the men have Bra on their vests.

Aschwin Wildeboer Faber seems an odd name for a Spaniard.

Yes, but only in the way that, say, Rio Ferdinand sounds an odd name for a Brit

Are you handsome? Intelligent and witty?

Has anyone noticed how small the Rowing Teams' Cox are?

Seriously though, im not sure what that extra guy is meant to do, but it seems they've hired the tiniest person they could find for weight saving i guess.

See the Mexican diving coach fall off his chair with the excitement of it all!?

Wonder if they coach the footballers when they're not doing the pool stuff...

Hehe...or A&C if the bottom half's worn back to front.

I hope Gemma comes Spoffirst and not Spofforth in the backstroke final.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Spoffifth...

0 from three, I'm afraid. But I do have other positive attributes... such as a spare bed.

The cox not only helps steer the boat, he/she has to know exactly what each of the rowers can do and get the best out of them, he/she has to be watching them and provide instructions to one or more of he rowers. The cox has to be aware of everything and act accordingly. The cox is effectively the pilot, the rowers are the engines.

So all those guys are driven by their cox?
