    Anyone else interested in these games at all ? I’m sitting here waiting for the 1500m final. 3 (THREE) brothers in the final. Surely never happened before. No one guaranteed a medal but would be great to see one or two Ingerbritsen bros on the podium.

    <laugh> I think everyone's out having a beer Noggie.

    If they're not English I wouldn't have been supporting them though. Gotta be a homie in competitions.

    I’ve a foot in both camps ;) In any case I appreciate talent wherever it is and whatever it is. Here from a country with half the number of people than London has produced 3 bros in one final. My tip for the Euro footy dark horse will be Norway (in terms of qualifying). They have the Swedish trainer that made little Iceland a force. He has turned a team of losers round - unbeaten in ages. No chance of winning but hope they qualify.

    I have to support Bangladesh whenever they're playing cricket to shut the missus up and keep her happy so I get the feet in 2 camps bit ;):(

    As long as you do the right thing when England play Norway Noggie, thats all that matters! :)

    The boys were good, had the talent. But whatever it was certainly the PARENTS that enabled them. That made sure they reached their potential and achieved their goals. Good parents make good PEOPLE.

    That is bonkers having three brothers in the same final, some genes in that family.

    Burgess brothers, Yorkshire lads, in rugby league is ****ing ridiculous. All 4 have played for the rabbitohs, one of the most decorated clubs in the world.

    I remember the 1984 Olympics with Seb, Steve and our Steve cram the best final 1500 m ever, and the 800 metres.

    I also remember that I'm a stupid ****.
