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

Interesting though, an upset would be great, especially for at Bolt's expense, he is very arrogant.

Arrogant in what way?

 

[The T-Dex]

Look at his twitter feed, he might not be arrogant but comes across that way.

Loves himself.

"I have to figure out what I did wrong..."

As if he cares.

As long as he is in his prime, Usain Bolt will never be beaten at a World Championships/Olympics (barring false starts).

It's a shame Ben Johnson and Bolt weren't in their prime at the same time. Now that would have been something to have witnessed!

Nice write up Cena , not all that keen on the olympics , but really hope Katie Taylor takes home the gold in the boxing , after being at the top of her game for so long and the with the women finally getting boxing for the olympics it would be a shame if she doesn't .

I've seen a couple of reports of her on Sky, looks a good prospect for a Gold, i'm looking forward to watching the boxing, both mens & womens

The archery is going to be at Lords cricket ground.

I'd love to go there.

I hate the sprint events - full of posturing and preening steroid filled dickheads. It's rubbish as a spectacle too: Gun > blur > end.

Rubbish, just ****ing rubbish.

Controversial.

I'm on the fence with this, not sure whether its right or wrong.

[Cena]

[McBain]

[Elong]

Be good if the Modz could sticky this for the duration of it, and everything olympic related get posted in here, to make Ale House tidier and make use of Cena's fantastic preview. Doooooooo it.
