So, I just noticed that the Olympics are over... Did I miss anything? Don't feel like I have, however, I would've loved to have been there for this gem of an event: (And who can blame her? I'd react in exactly the same way)
The London Paper
News Feature: Olympic bronze medallist swears live on TV and other funny Beijing 2008 moments Saturday, 23 August 2008
There was a time when swearing on live TV, throwing water in people’s faces and creating havoc with lewd conduct was the preserve of London’s celeb crowd.
But the Beijing Olympics has not just been about sporting glory and world records.
The BBC was left red-faced when London bronze medallist Bryony Shaw declared she was " so f***ing happy " to become the first British woman to win a windsurfing medal, live on television.
Speaking after her RSX race the 25-year-old said: “I love my mum and dad so much, they are so supportive. And my boyfriend Greg. My coach Tom is such a legend. I am so f****** happy.”
The BBC, probably weren’t quite so happy and immediately issued an apology for any offence caused.
And British swimmer David Davies, who secured a silver this morning in the 10k swim, doused an official with a bottle of water after she tried to usher him towards the podium. And it was not the only wayward action Davies got up this morning - he just missed out on gold because he started swimming in the wrong direction just metres from the finish line during the exhausting endurance race.
Clearly being interrupted during a press conference was too much for the exhausted swimmer.
