Just watched that and thought Victoria Pendleton is proper gorgeous!

Agreed!! Jess Ennis is too!

Brilliant!

Oh my.

Oh Lizzie…

Love it.

Love the volunteers as the band as well! 🙂

Oh, and is it just me, or are the British female sportsfolk awfully lovely overall? 😉

Have to agree with you there CHF.

This should have been the closing ceremony.

On a more cynical note, athletes; if you’re in this video you’re going to be minted.

Nice to see Zoe Smith was also included. I didn’t believe there has been a single mention of her or weightlifting during the entire games. She has a nice smile, hadn’t realised she was only eighteen, she came 12th with a new british record google tells me.

Should have just played that at the closing ceremony! Loved it.

There was a good documentary about here before the games started. And tbf, i’ve heard her mentioned a few times. Linekar interviewed her too iirc.

She was all over the news for a couple of days too, appearance on BBC Breakfast as well IIRC

They had a decent bit on her performance and Reggie Yates spent the day of her competition with her and her family.

Great bit of free advertising for Addidas too! 😆

I like bowler hats on women 8)

Pendleton in a Bowler = just a bit foxy.
much better than out of tune singers.

that makes my balls ache, and not in a good way

YowChowb ought to introduce a VHS style feature where the most popular/rewound parts of a particular vid start to get a bit scratchy a la Basic Instinct from the video shop. I’m guessing you’d hardly be able to see Vicky in this vid anymore (nowt to do with me).

i knew who everyone was apart from the five women together – anyone know?

Agreed!! Jess Ennis is too!

+1, she reminds me of Rashida Jones. This is a good thing 🙂

Capjon, want to fill in some blanks as I only knew a couple.

Beckham – Hoy – Pendleton – Smith – Ennis – Volunteers – Ennis – Volunteers – Pete Reed (i think – Pendleton – Smith – five women?? – Trott – Reed – Armitstead + ?? – Pendleton – Ennis – Smith – Iduwo – Reed – five women?? – Ennis – five women – volunteers – Brownlee brothers – Ennis – bloke on drums – Iduwo – Pendleton + Trott etc

and the one on the BMX….

At least I got Ennis, Trott and Pendletears right.

Oh to be the meat in a PendletEnnis sandwich…

*crosses legs, thinks calming thoughts*

and it’s a lot less “i-want-to-punch-someone” inducing than the yanks swimming team…..

although there are other ways of keeping the female septics from singing…

(you may need to use a proxy)

I think the five women may be hockey players.

I reckon they might be the synchro swimmers: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/countries/great-britain/athletes?sports=synchronised-swimming&gender=w&filter=Filter&isOneToWatch=0&isMedallist=0

…Reggie Yates spent the day of her competition with her and her family…

That must have seemed like a very long day

there’s music in this video, i’ve watched it 70 times and haven’t heard it once…..[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq5lqlLoZIY[/video]
