Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

He also came up with

"Hard to penetrate the German circle, but that's the task that Curly's so inept at."

More prescient then daft: paraphrasing something said before the men's 4x100 "there's Tortu, and remember, the Tortu always wins the race".

(I kept incorrectly assuming Tortu was Finnish, just from the sound of his surname)

Chris Boardman, on GB's cycling performance:

"For me it is the richest performance they have had, even though it was not as rich as before."

I think he meant richest like broad range of medals. But not as rich as before in terms of absolute gold medals.

I've just been catching up on the men's marathon (I'm a little behind...)

"I don't think Kipchoge will slow down until either he has to, or he wants to."

I can't fault the logic, but I'm not sure it really needed saying.
