Phligm Phlagm Olympics Special

What the French think of Bradley Wiggins

Olympic tax breaks

How to get around Olympic merchandising rules with bad spelling and bad geometry.

Whose idea was it to let Rod Liddle and James Delingpole design the opening ceremony?

Just in case you haven't seen this: divers gurning in mid-dive.

Pedants please note: it is perfectly acceptable to refer to our flag as 'the Union Jack'.

Almost every Olympic sport in ZX Spectrum form (and special bonus: British gold medal winners as screen$)

Interesting graphic showing every men's 100M medallist and how they compare.

(As an aside, Olympic trivia especially for fans of LibDem sprinting: when Alan Wells won Scotland’s last 100m gold in 1980, his time was actually slower than Menzies Campbell’s former British record.)

Five science lessons from the Olympic cycling.

45-year-old salesman apologies for closing ceremony.

Game theory and track sprint cycling.
