Aw he's only 20 isn't he, look at his face, so lovely

Really strange watching this btw, this is being held at the pool I take the kids swimming at

Edit ooh actually I lie it's not, this event was at Tollcross in Glasgow. Some of the other swimming events are at the Commie Pool in Edinburgh though.

I noticed that Alastair Brownlee was smiling almost all the way through.

I am watching the interview with them now, they seem like good lads.

They do, don't they? They are a joy to watch.

It has just been announced,on the radio,that the Welsh Athletics captain (Rhys Williams) has failed a drugs test.

Will hope to catch some of it tonight and over the weekend. Is there a swimming highlights show?

I'm hoping some of the Welsh swimmers do well (if they aren't caught doping! ). Also, watching swimming gets me super motivated to get in the pool.

Craig MacLean has the most impressive buttocks I think I've ever seen. Even for a track cyclist

shush, you can't say things like that or you'll get the lads saying "if we said the same about women blah blah blah"

It's ok, I'm not objectifying him just they are rather, er, noticeable is all

 

[Espresso]

Bet it's an arse and a half for him to find trousers to fit.

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Don't like this cycling gear people are wearing. It makes them look like they've been caught short

 

[Favelado]

Welsh drug cheats bringing shame on Cymru.

Currently we have a Scottish boxer wearing red fighting a Welsh boxer in blue. This is like when Walkers changed the crisp packets
