No. The losing semi-finalists got bronze medals and you could argue that her final opponent also won a medal at the exact same time. She's the first female Olympic boxing champion though.

I went and had a look at the one for the Brownlee lad today, in Horsforth. There were lots of kids getting their photo taken next to it. There was also a bloke with a Yorkshire flag and a Yorkshire Terrier. I hope he made his point strongly enough.

If you watch Adam Buxtons show Bug you'd understand it. If you don't you'll see it for what it is, gibberish

only if he had a flask full of Yorkshire tea and a Yorkshire Rose in his breast pocket

oh.....and many congratulation to Nicola Adams - top pugilism young lady

I know and I appreciate that as I just don't know how I could cope in life if I misplaced one letter on an internet forum.

As for the poem, I refer you to the first line in the post. If you don't watch the show you won't understand the joke so your retort is meaningless

Just walked past Nicola's gold post boxes - her mum was stood in front of them having her piccy taken for the YEP.

The final score (16-7) was a nice reminder of a famous Leeds win. Nice touch for her to acknowledge a great day in the club's history, albeit one from before when she was born.

Well done to the GB team and especially the Yorkshire medal winners. As of last night Yorkshire were equal with Australia for Gold medals in 10th or 11th place ahead of 193 countries including Spain, Sth Africa, japan etc

Oh.

TV show or not, you do seem a little touchy about the issue...

It would be good to get Nicola and the Brownlees down to HQ for the last game against Salford on the 31st August.
All Rhino fans too apparently.

Lizzie Armistead too perhaps?

The Burmantofts must have been deemed too much of a poohole for a fancy gold painted postbox then

Edited for accuracy

Bless Nicola 'I wanna go to Nandos to celebrate' Adams .... The BBC fixed her up with a big limmo and took her to the Savoy Hotel, just about one of the poshest joints in town. Her eyes were nearly on stalks and she couldn't get over what was in there.

She better get used to that sort of thing, as I have a feeling she'll be encountering it a lot more over the next few months.

Also the stuff in her victory speech ... "I love Yorkshire, I love Leeds" almost had the chip fat in the rest of our veins sizzling with pride at that sort of thing.

The bad news is, that all she'll have to look forward to in the UK (by way of civic recognition) is a slap-up tea in the Mayor's Parlour in Civic Hall. Had she had been from just about any other European country going, they'd have named a street after her. Are you watching Leeds City Council ? There's still time ....

Finally, I trust the club can pull out all the stops and get them all in front of the South Stand for either the Salford game or a home play-off match. I'm up for 15 minutes of chanting 'Yorkshire !' at them.
