[Yas786]

LOL we bag the gold and bronze, 19th of the games...unbelievable really but wow some of these countries must be sitting there wondering why their athletes are just so utterly rubbish lol.

Well done GB, well done.

Good performance, a real shame about that penalty.

 

[Skeeter]

Good performance, a real shame about that penalty.

He was 20 seconds back from 2nd anyway. But still a massive shame.

 

[Cosimo]

Great performance and good to see him walk over the finish line.

 

[ps3ud0]

If I had that kinda lead I would have roly-polyed over the line...

Kudos goes to Hayes who pushed and paced the Brownlees during the cycling

Would have been very close had Jonny not had to serve his penalty. Was only 24 seconds between him and Gomes at the end, so that would have been only ~6 seconds.

 

[smyth]

plus the stopping and starting to/from the penalty zone would have cost a few seconds so would have had a decent chance

 

[SPARC]

It's like a stop and go penalty in F1. Shame though

20 seconds back including the 15 second penalty. I know he started dropping off before he took his penalty but maybe he was trying to conserve energy.

Even with a 5 second gap on the last lap he might have caught up/forced a sprint finish.

I'm not saying he would definitely have won silver but it would have been much closer and more exciting.

 

[Jonny69]

That was excellent. I wonder if the person in the crowd was expecting to have their flag nicked?

 

[ps3ud0]

Without the penalty he would have definitely got silver as his brother wouldnt have hit the run so hard as both have a better sprint finish over Gomez.

True. There was no need to sprint finish as he was comfortably in 3rd.

Was the penalty deserved, I didn't see it happen?

 

[Guerrilla]

Fantastic result.

 

[Craig1981]

That puts us level with the amount of golds won during the 2008 games. Now lets see how many more we can get

Victory ceremony delayed due to medalist receiving medical attention. Apparently fine though.

 

[TheMightyTen]

Yep, Jonny has collapsed apparently

Yep, Jonny has collapsed apparently

I'm not surprised after all that. I don't think I could have even done just the swimming section.

 

[touch]

Ceremony is on in 10 mins, he must be alright now
