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

[RFUS]

Team GB up now in the women's indoor volleyball, which is a personal favourite. With three times as many players as beach volleyball you get loads of epic saves and some great team moves.

Although GB were gash last time so I'm not holding my breath.

I jinxed the basketball before ffs.

Although I tuned into that epic Aussie own half, last second 3 pointer right as it happened. So maybe I'm lucky for non-GB countries.

A fair point.

 

[RFUS]

It's only early but this Algerian team look absolutely awful.

 

[RFUS]

Ah as I say that they score a point and then GB smack it into the net.

Mhmm.

 

[AdamEFC]

Why does one person on each team have a different coloured top from the rest of their team in the volleyball?

They're the libero. They can't go into the offensive bit and are purely defensive players. They're usually the smallest players on the team as they don't need to block near the net.

Is this live whats on BBC 3 now??

No idea mate as I watch online.
