The Olympics Thread

[Twizzle]

I'm feeling very Olympic today

 

[BunniesMan]

Opening ceremony was awesome.

I'm pumped. My girl Steph Rice races tonight. Bet she dominates.

Highlights of the first half of the olympics will be anything with Rice and Magnussen in it, and second half of course will be watching Sally win gold.

Among other countries, I'm eager to see Phelps and Bolt add to their resume as two of the greatest Olympians in history.

Swimming will be shit until the medals start flowing. The real interest tonight is the cycling. Carn Gossy.

 

[Twizzle]

Swimming will be awesome, cant wait.

Love the relays

Did anyone hear about the outfit Egypt were supposed to wear last night. Apparently it was a Nike ripoff from china

 

[IanG]

Will 100,000 frangers be enough?

Will 100,000 frangers be enough?

Don't think so.

The majority will be used by the USA men's basketball team.

And usain bolt

This thread should be in our official London 2012 subforum. Please move it. Thanks.

:sarcasm:

Any opening ceremony that includes Mr. Bean is a winner in my books

LOL, Michael Phelps qualifies 8th in the 400m IM... he came VERY CLOSE to missing out!

So let me get this straight: Both channel 9 and GEM have been scheduled to broadcast the Olympics, but they're both showing the exact same events at the same time?!

Why the f**k did they even bother?

Can't wait for this Olympic rubbish to be over for another four years!!!

Gem is for HD. Those without HD still get to watch the games!

Up at 4.30am to watch the Swimming finals. Our swimmers better reward me with lots of gold. I want Rice to win and I want Lochte and Phelps to have a one man leaves the pool alive battle royale. That would be the payment I deserve for waking up that early.

And we have a real chance at gold in the womens 100m relay. Fastest in the heats.

 

[Hallatia]

I think I may not watch any Olympics at all this time.

Do they still have that bmx event? That was pretty cool, if I am bored enough to plug my tv in and start flicking through the channels and it happens to be showing, I'll watch it. Same goes for any event Eamon Sullivan is competing in - is he competing in any events this time? And the men's 100m sprint. Who am I kidding? I love sports, if I am bored enough to plug the tv in, turn it on and flick through the channels, I would probably watch whatever sport is being shown

 

[Pugzley]

Zoom in on the female australian rower's arms, legs and torso some more please, Nine. Hot.

Gigity Gigity.

 

[HowHigh]

How many kms is this men's road race?
They've been riding for hours

 

[bartman]

250km I think?

 

[Bazal]

Yep 250km....Gilbert can't be doing something, I'm seeing things surely...

 

[Didgi]

Expected to see more Sagan in the road race, his type of race though the break could've just been too big for him.
