I was trying to find the actual study to post some of the evidence but the basics of it is that people are more willing to punch the top and back of the head which are the really dangerous ones.

It's related to studies on american football which have shown a clear increase in the number of injuries and the severity of injuries as a result of body armour.

It's a strange one isn't it?  You would think that cracking heads together would bring more of a risk of concussion but there you go.

I've been neglecting my duties to keep score this Olympics... so here you go....

GREAT BRITAIN 16 (Sixteen)
Australolia 6

and the swimming has finished!

Having turned up for the first day or two, the Aussies now seem to have packed up and gone home.

Brilliant from Trott to take the lead after 2 events and the elimination to come today which she has a great reputation in.

While you're here... I was wondering, do all Manx people sound like Cavendish? Sort of an odd mix between Scouse and Mancunian?

Great performance by Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge in the men's doubles badminton today. Through to the semi-final now so chance of another medal there.

You don't see much badminton coverage on the telly which is a shame because it's a great sport. The BBC's onlne coverage has been realy good though.

Not really sure why Cavendish hasn't been disqualified? Will they wait until the end or has he got away with it?

Pretty much!

Can anybody explain what on earth is going on is this last omnium race?!

[cdbearsfan]

I'm not sure but I like it... fucking mental event!

[taylorsworkrate]

Good Silver for Cavendish, but I can't help that think after his  bitching and whining he really needed to win Gold to make any sort of point

[cdbearsfan]

Elimination Race! My favourite.

[Colhint]

I think Trott will be our best Olympian ever eventualy

[West Derby Villan]

I think Trott will be our best Olympian ever eventualy

Agree, she's got "age" on her side as well as extraordinary talent and fitness

[SteveN]

I'm more of a road racing fan than track but bloody hell the elimination and points races in the omnium are tremendous to watch.

She is awesome. Nothing to her but bloody hell the power of her sprint
