the running track and infield at Hampdon is sitting on stilts which is 2 metres above the actual football pitch. They had to remove 10 thousand seats to fit it in. By doing this they have saved hundreds of millions of pounds, which it would have cost to build a new stadium.

Woman's triathlon was a great start to the games. A really good race. I did have a chuckle when the commentator mentioned the temperature they were running in. "a blistering 26 degrees!" :lol: 28 here tomorrow in the middle of winter.

I can bet you that our 26 is much much hotter than your 28. You would be surprised how hot the UK can get at times. No sea breeze to talk of. I laugh at you blokes when its 12 and you complain how cold it is. Try minus 15 with the wind blowing and the snow driving. Short sleeve weather for us

:lol: Is your 12 degrees colder than our 12 as well CnC? We don't often get that cold, wet, foggy and really miserable weather you get there. Sometimes it would take at least 5 Carlsberg's at the Cadogan to feel human again when I was there.

When the weather is forecast they don't add the wind chill factor, Craig

The wind is the killer. Was frozen on the heath some days when it was blowing. You cannot get warm out there!
