Olympics update: Nicola Cooke wins Gold Medal! 10th August 2008.


It was great to see Nicole Cooke win the Gold Medal in the Women's Cycle Road Race this morning.
Wales's greatest female cyclist timed her sprint to perfection at the end of the race and sprinted passed her four rivals in appalling weather conditions to win by a couple of bike lengths.
Nicole is the first Welsh person to win a Gold medal for 36 years.

Let hope this is the start of a few more Olympic medals over the coming week?

Bloody Olympics, won't and don't watch especially as it's being held in China. Terrible and continuing record on human rights and the olympic values of sport and fraternity are frankly a joke. The whole concept is rotten to the core.

Britain should have boycotted the games.

Sorry John, but would have to disagree, I think a political statement at the games is far more important, just think of the famous Black Power salute at the 1968 olympics by John Carlos and Lee Evans!

I should have said Tommie Smith and John Carlos, oops!
