Ooooh rowers arms...

<granny> Didn't they do well? ?

They did indeed

Sorry Dr shoes - cyclist arms are puny compared to rowers (maybe I could get him to start rowing at the gym????)

SB used to be an extremely competitive canoeist and were it not for a persistent neck injury that he picked up he would have been going to Beijing this year as part of the GB team - hence he has fantastic muscle definition across his back and arms. He was hanging pictures at the weekend and I was being extremely unhelpful by saying "left a bit, right a bit" and not actually concentrating on the pictures at all! ?

sprint or slalom?

?

Im currently preoccupied by the cyclists bums and legs, I think they might win over rowers bums....

?

I have no idea - what I know about canoeing you can fit on the back of a postage stamp!

If it was slalom then the chances of him going to beijing would be zero. sprints a different matter though.

Could be I'm really not sure - he and his Dad were talking about it on Sunday but I didn't really follow all of the conversation. As I say, his neck injury totally scuppered his chances and I've not really asked too much about it because I know he finds it really, really frustrating; but I guess I should ask a little bit more about it. He still belongs to his local club but just doesn't compete internationally anymore.

He's switched to Tae Kwon Do for fitness now and is applying to be an official judge at the 2012 Olympics at ExCel.

Mmmmm.... toned upper bodies when they're working hard on the erg, with lycra rolled down to their waists... ? the lats are my favourite muscles, I'm sure 'normal' people don't have them ?
