Superstars 2012

[notnagging]

What a brilliant programme to show our children that they can't be good at everything.

[notnagging]

My ds really struggles with not being good at everything, gets really upset. I've recorded it and will show him that even Olympic athletes aren't good at all sports. Everyone has a talent in something.

[Sparklingbrook]

I am watching too. it's really good isn't it? The canoeing is a bit wobbly.

[JaquelineHyOnChristmasSpirit]

I love Superstars!!!

[Sparklingbrook]

DH is going on about Hooperman and Brian Jacks.

[GreenyEyes]

Sparkling I was just going to say, my DH has regressed into his 9yo self.

[Sparklingbrook]

Greeny He says I need to google all these people from the seventies.

[notnagging]

I'm glad the brownlee brothers are on & showing that brothers can be competitive but still get on. My ds's really struggle with that!

[Sparklingbrook]

yay the girl beat the boys at swimming.

[MrsSJG]

I'm loving it, also helps having a hometown girl in it I loving listening to her Cornish accent and feeling homesick

[notnagging]

Those old shots of keegan really took me back to my youth. Sigh

[notnagging]

I'm not surprised Joshua won

I'm not surprised Joshua won

[AmIthatTinselly]

I loved that. I am old enough to remember Brian Jacks, Davina Galica, etc.

I loved this tonight, and I was really pleased that people like Laura Becholtsmeyer (sp?) did so well, showing that you don't have to be in the "glamour" sports to be a good all rounder.

Great show

[Sparklingbrook]

They should bring it back. DH is now watching World's Strongest Man which I hate.

[Furball]

We enjoyed it too

I also said that it shows that even olympians aren't good at every sport.

and all the competitors had a huge smile.

[Notquite]

That was the most interesting men's 100m I've ever seen I think (possibly because it wasn't over as quickly as some!). No surprise that a man as strong as Joshua should win it, but who'd have thought the endurance runners would be so far off the pace?

Loved the hapless kayakers. Finally - elite athletes I can relate to.

[BaconAndAvocado]

What a fab show!

That said, anything linked to the Olympics must be watched!

Loved the documentary on earlier today, haven't cried so much since......Snowman and the Snowdog

[MyLittleAprilSunshine]

Was amazing we all watched it here :)

[pyrowall]

Loved it!!
Saw Anthony Joshua in town yesterday!!
It's the second time I've see him and I was this close (holds fingers about and inch apart!) from talking to him this time!
I've promised myself I'll speak to him next time - I was a bit star struck!
