[agricola]

Gold medal for Adams, phenomenal performance.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well done Nicola!!

 

[fen_boy]

Couple of Ali shuffles in there, that was a proper pasting.

 

[butchersapron]

Surprisingly easy that. Great work Nicola.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Nice one!

 

[agricola]

Fair play to Cancan Ren, she looked made up for Adams.

 

[kabbes]

Awesome display!

 

[fen_boy]

Numbers is there today isn't he? I bet that was awesome to see live.

 

[agricola]

Taylor losing?

I loved the way how she was smiling walking to the ring, smiling climbing in in it, probably smiling whilst the bout was taking place and then smiling at the end.

 

[agricola]

Taylor wins, fight was a bit meh.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Brilliant

That's Ireland's first gold isn't it?

Why is the BBC covering an Irish fighter on BBC1?

Why shouldn't they?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

well done Nicola Adams. I know little about boxing, but she was seriously fast. Great stuff.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Only their second ever, I think the commentator was saying.

Sounded like a spectacular atmosphere

 

[twentythreedom]

Those chicks are proper hard!! Excellent stuff

 

[kabbes]

And now Jade Jones is through to the final in tai kwon do.

I think if there is one thing this Olympics has taught the world, it's: Don't fuck with our birds. Whether it's judo, boxing or tai kwon do, they'll totally fucking have you.

 

[felixthecat]

I've just about calmed down after Nic Adams's fight - WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was grinning all the way home from work - well done that woman!

Womens boxing is my new favourite sport.

Yeah, I'm watching her on RTE. Apparently she's quite religious though, so fair enough, it's not stopped her winning
