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

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

We had Basketball vests 5 sizes too small. We were actually embarrassed to go out on the court they were that bad, and they stunk of 4 generations worth of bad body odor....

Shame really , as we used to smash everyone we played except one school who had two twin brothers who played for England....

They weren't from Private School....(just sayin)

I played for the year above at Basketball in my 2nd year, and we beat Bluecoat in the cup comp, have it Nerds !!

WHY THE **** IS THERE A HORSE DANCING ON MY TV? THAT'S NOT A SPORT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CIRCUS. WHY DOESN'T THE HORSE GET THE GOLD MEDAL INSTEAD OF THE RIDER?

its pretty interesting, must take alot of carrots..BUT, it still looks like a gay horse dancing about

 

[Dom1878]

Seeing as cycling has so many events in it - why don't they have actual horse racing in this? Surely its more of a sport than this!

20 golds now, lids.

 

[Dom1878]

Yep, won gold in Dressage

Medal table reading 44 medals but we've got 4 (minimum ) guaranteed in the boxing and some cycling to come , it's looking like a very impressive haul our best in the modern era as you cant count 08. Whatever anyone thinks of dressage or show jumping its the Olympic authorities put them in the Games so why not compete.

 

[tsubaki]

Team GB are only nine golds behind the yanks now. If the cycling goes to plan it will be six behind.

Could it be on?

Honestly curious as to why? I suspect I've missed something major.

Wow , these woman on the bikes are ace.... some fantastic camel toes in them suits.

Some countries really have done poorly, GB has been very opportunistic and done brilliantly. USA has done extremely well too as many people, including me didn't expect them to be anywhere near as good as they have been.

Sorry typo my fault I was meaning 1908 because hardly anyone entered and for example I think we Won about 30 boxing medals.

EDIT- 32 medals in boxing alone

Appreciate it was probably a joke and all, but you never see anything in lycra shorts as you have padding in the crotch to protect your bits. Any camel toe lookalike is gonna be the chamois in your shorts scrunching up.
