Yeah, because it was a dream of hers... that came true... It's what most athletes aim for.

Christine Ohorugu (sp?) has a good chance of gold.

My favourite, Smith, just lost his second men's singles badminton game. He started off brilliantly and was dominating the first match and first half of the second, but suddenly went down hill from there, then it all went horribly wrong. He caught up quite a bit on the last match, but sadly it wasn't enough. Hallam's on later today, I'll be rooting for her!

[Sammeth.]

We just won another gold and bronze in the same event - 400m Womens Swimming final !

[Cwmbran]

I heard just before she won it started to rain.
I think thats why she won all it ever does is rain in Wales so she must've felt at home.

I think the mixed doubles is our best shot of a medal in badminton. Ems and Robertson were awesome in Athens!

Yeah, most definitely, but Smith was my favourite. Hallam lost as well. We're no longer in singles badminton.

Honestly, I swear we keep going against Germans in every event...

Yeah, the German guy was ranked lower as well. :eusa_wall Smith was destroying him in the first game and first half of the second though. Dunno why, but Smith just started playing badly, then he got annoyed at himself and couldn't concentrate. He was just reacting to what his opponent was doing, he wasn't setting up any shots or thinking about what he was going to do. He slammed his racket down at one point. He basically gave the second match away after the German managed to get a good lead. The third match started off bad for Smith, he caught up quite a bit later on, but it wasn't enough. Hallam also lost to a German.
