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

[The Esk]

Great pics again esk

Thanks - fantastic day, the Olympic Park is incredible, really quite beautiful - the stadium looks fantastic, aquatic centre and velodrome fabulously designed, great parkland, sitting areas, viewing areas, plenty of food, not just MacDonalds - really a tremendous place to visit.

Huge crowds from almost every nation it seems, great atmosphere throughout.

Basketball was good too, Turkey absolutely hammered China and looked a class apart. One thing though, the basketball girls are big in every sense, not a lot of good lookers to be seen......

Back to the Olympic Park on Sunday for the 100m finals etc, can't wait!

PS - the volunteers and particularly the Armed Forces are doing a great job - makes you proud to be British, and the feedback from visitors is very positive!

So did he, he was saluting the crowd before he realised that the announcer had said red.

I think 99% of us thought he won, don't like that Indian boxer for spitting out his mouth guard to get a rest in the 2nd.

Come on Nolan

 

[best little spaniard]

Yer what, lad? Are you 8 feet tall or something?

nahh, grown like 1 inch since then (in that respect at least)



Also, I imagine this had been said, but I would give anything for a night with Jess Ennis. And I mean literally anything. She is amazing.

That's a steep drop off -- bet you were gutted!


And yes, that Ethiopian was ridiculous.

The Russian looked good

Lad she'd hear your comical welsh tone and immediately turn around and run to my familiar soothing, scouse syllables.

Scouse girls love my chocolatey Welsh tones.

 

[Allezfan]

Handball's an odd sport.

 

[Allezfan]

But surprisingly enjoyable to watch.

Following on from the Tom Daley Twitter attack, someone has twitted to Rebecca Adlington " you've let down Flipper "
