I done a single on the fella (Barnes is it?) earlier as he had decent odds, and done the pair of them in a multiple, just need some Kazakhstan bloke to beat a Brit tomorrow now for the multi to come in. Only a fiver on each but a wins a win! Cheers.

Thanks Sarge.
Irish boxing is having a fantastic time over there.

Top class

Bolt's not even trying. He's saving himself for the final.

20.09 and he jogged for the last 100 metres. Crazy.

Excellent results for the boxers.

Hopefully Dennis Lynch can do us proud in the Showjumping tomorrow as well.

Germaine Mason sounds about as British as Usain Bolt.

What connection does he have to the UK? A parent?

"His father was born in London, but lives in Jamaica, and his mother was born in Jamaica, but lives in London with the athlete’s three brothers, so Mason had dual citizenship."

He was born, raised and trained in Jamaica and represented them until 2006 mind.

Thanks for the info.

Can't say I'm too happy when athletes decide to switch allegiance from one country to another. Good luck to him, but for me his medal doesn't really count as our first in Track & Field.

I'll take it. Track & Field needs all the help it can get.
