The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

[Brennan]

Doesn't look like we're getting a medal at all here. Bloody hell.

 

[toffeejack]

need a sum 41 type failure from the mexicans

 

[RFUS]

I can't really criticise them because I couldn't even step on the diving board without sh*tting myself.

 

[Walken]

They showed both events in full on TV and online. Obviously the men's team not winning a medal at all is going to get more coverage than Armistead winning a silver, because the former is just more interesting. The BBC are just doing what makes sense.

possibly, I mite just be bitter because the boxing isnt making the waves, maybe that'l change come the semi's and finals, but Taylors win yesterday against someone who was expected to beat him didnt get the notice I felt it deserved, though appointing Richie Woodhall as co commentator has been a good move

 

[Brennan]

Too much splash.

 

[RFUS]

Too much splash.

Harsh marks for sync I thought.

 

[Brennan]

Have a bad feeling that GB are going to have a crap games, after all the ridiculous hype.

 

[RFUS]

Thought the Mexicans were ace. That batsh*t crazy dive they pulled worked and they got silver, seemingly surprising even themselves.

 

[Walken]

even Ainsle is going to have to up his game the way that danish lad is going, two 1st places and a 2nd to bens 2 2nds and a 6th

 

[HSD]

That one we messed up shouldn't have only got in the 70s marks though. We got 6.0 and 6.5s which is ridiculously harsh compared to other diver's bad dives.

 

[Phyllis Stein]

Every interview is the same, "how was it with the crowd" ..."was it emotional..." "did the fantastic backing help drive you on..."
As for the two divers, they can get some practice in the Olympic village before they go back to the pool.

 

[RFUS]

Back to the boxing then. Two hyped fighters (an Aussie and a Yank) in the current light heavy bout.

Yank looks ace, like all the USA contingent do in the boxing.

 

[Phyllis Stein]

And to keep the run of luck going, one of the womens Hockey team has been volleyed in the chops and has had surgery on her fractured jaw.

 

[Cena]

GB will get a Gold before the end of the day, tellin yer

I see what you did there.
