WUOC RELAYS

Postby Gross » Fri Aug 18, 2006 11:29 am

Tomorrow we get a chance to see if the predictions on the BOF News page are accurate:

The women's relay team will be aiming for a repeat of their medal winning performances of 2002 and 2004 while the men's team is strong enough to aim for the gold medal.

putting pressure on but if they are good enough it shouldn't be a problem

Looks like GB men dropped a bit of time - or it's not updating very fast

Did Helen really make up 7 minutes on the Swiss girl on the last leg to take gold? Awesome, if I'm reading the results right :shock:

Well done to the girls, BOF obviously got it wrong in their pre event literature, but hey isn't it usually the girls who perform at the big events.(Jamie excepted before anyone makes the implication):wink: I guess there might be a few new faces at the next WUOC, as some of our team have been consistent performers for a while now.

:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: Even allowing for your exception, I think you would be hard pushed to differentiate like this (and wouldn't want to).

Some great results from WUOC: congratulations to the whole team.

Just goes to show how difficult it is to predict O. Still - they did say that the women would be aiming to continue the medals.
