Yeah, but it looked like he pushed him because he was riding right into him.
Either way, doesn't condone what the spectator blob did!

He did go over the wall a bit easily though. You don't think it was a set-up do you?
Not even if the cyclist was French, Aaron?

I thought that too.
Ooh, I dunno Matt. Maybe.
I'm watching some equestrian discipline (don't know which exactly) and the German commentator talks in such an ornate and dramatic style, that it's painful too listen. I think he even cried a bit there.
How do you become an equestrian commentator? Whoever hired that guy deserves being sat on by a horse.

Neigh. (sorry)
Wow!!! Usain Bolt is a freak!
Agggh what did he do? I just turned it on and don't know!
Oh, he broke the record. 9.69 secs.
Bolt is amazing!
He's like a big freaky giant.
People are still watching this shizzle? :/
I wonder how much quicker Bolt would've been, if he hadn't slowed down, with about 30 metres to go? Also, considering he's only 21, it's scary to think what times he'll be getting when the next Olypics comes around, or the one after that. Remember, Linford Christie didn't win his Olypic Gold until he was 32, and didn't record his fastest-ever time until he was 33.
I wonder if he'd still bolt after a drugs test.
I think they should have ordinary people doing each event before a race (as they suggested on Five Live). Would be great to see people wobbling around the cycle track, struggling to pull themselves up the hoops and tripping over the hurdles. Really show how hard it is. 'Control' atheletes.

There must be an ultimate physical limit - or they'll eventually finish before they've started.
