A reminder that we paid out on Bradley Wiggins for SPOTY after he won the Time Trial today! What's the point in waiting? #london2012 #wiggo

What a day, amazing afternoon watching the cycling. Interviewed on 5live, cheered on wiggins by the road. Out for beers, curry and watching the footy, then off to beach volley tomoz.

gutted for ya. oh well. youll just have to have a wank on the internet before you go or when you get home son. Cry

geezer commentating just said that when you are under the water streamlining its the fastest you go in the race. well i used to be able to swim a length underwater, so when they dive in, if its fastest under water why dont they all do the first length as far under as they can?
cos they come up well early.

come on son, come on.
of course i knew they were not allowed to swim under water all they way, i just wanted to know how they policed it. that ill admit i didnt know.
and the backstrokers not diving in still needs a sensible answer. if you have one.

How do these guys make money the rest of the year? Do they just do it for fun or would they be pros? I.e that swimmer that got a silver today...if he's doing swim meets throughout the year...does he just do them for fun in addition to a job or does he get paid/sponsored some how?
