    India included archery at the Delhi Comm Games and did well with a bow and arrow. No surprises there!

    Judging by the photos that are appearing, 'no love lost' is a mild term to describe the air between Gaze and Cooper. I'd say more seething hatred.

    A NZ official would do well to take them both quietly aside and tell them to pull their heads in.

    WTF is going with this coverage. There's live athletics going on and I just watched a "segment" of journalists having a fucking race or something earlier in the day, followed by ads.

    This is honestly close to unwatchable.

    We’ve all but given up. Mainly tracking the results online...

    I gave it a go last night for the first time, I fancied settling down in front of the athletics for a few hours. Hopeless, no feel for sport at all. Ad breaks too often and too long, pointless cuts to studio etc etc. Gave up and went to bed. Luckily I don't care about the Comm Games which are a pointless anachronism where some events are very competitive (netball, sevens) and most aren't and it isn't the main focus of a lot of the top athletes who turn up - world class athletes are focused on the Diamond League (late NH summer) rather than this.

    "The Gold Coast is currently hosting the Commonwealth Games, which only exists to give white people who are too shit for the Olympics the chance to win medals, making it the Caucasian Special Olympics"

    That page is always the highlight of my Facebook experience.
    Reading the comments from those offended is the icing on the cake

    Thank you so much for introducing me to this!

    It's NZ's own Prost vs Senna.

    Embrace and enjoy it!

    Gaze has just put out a statement apologising for being a dick. Guess someone did have a quiet word.

    Unlike road racing there is no etiquette in MTB to wait for mechanicals. This is just a working out of how to balance being a 'team' in these type of events as opposed to being solely individual at others.
    Last time they worked together to create a lead then Cooper took off with giving Gaze notice that he was about to. Nothing wrong in that either.
    They just need to learn to communicate better during a race and set some ground rules beforehand.

    0-0 in the women's hockey after the first quarter (Eng-NZ)
    King and Coll won the first set of the squash against India 11-10. Very, very tight in the second.

    England had the better of the first period. We need more penalty corners and they need less!

    Finally should have had a penalty corner but the fucking TMO is blind! 🙂

    Had the better of that third quarter though! Dominating the midfield and territory.

    I've got no sound. Why was it called a no goal when it bounced off the English foot and into the goal? (I don't know the hockey rules)

    @toddy We had to get a touch on it in the circle. Shoulda been a penalty corner though.

    Penalty shootout!

    A bit unfortunate, since we dominated that second half, but didn't create enough on attack.

    Hope they've been practicing!!!
