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

Of course North Korea should be allowed to compete. They are of course Olympic champions in every discipline in the games so deserve the right to leave their home country once every four years to show the lesser races that they are still superior.

Genuinely wouldn't surprise me if they edited the footage to show them winning everything. Heard they did something similar with the North Korea vs Brazil game.

Yeah, it was only shown in north korea after it had been edited by the powers that be, but they did so well that they showed the next game entirely live, And portugal scored 7 past them. Pretty damned funny.

Had a day off today but am back at the Athletics tomorrow night, and have just got tickets for Saturday night as well.

It's been a once in a life time occasion for sure.

Not too bad, just over £5k but it's been worth every penny

Ther was another country that had institutionalised racial segregation until the 60s that was allowed to participate. Can't remember who it was.

Haha yep! Some over-inflated ****-hole that thinks it rules the world. First world country, minus the brains.
Politically at least.

If you have it, enjoy it. Can't take it with you. How will pricing compare in Rio? If tickets are cheaper could the 5k get you flights accommodation and all the events you want.

Rio is expensive, and will be comparable to London I am sure.

Very fortunate to have been able to do it, appreciate that it is a lot of money for most folks.

There have been arguments about social inclusion on the track here, I can tell you there is even less social inclusion amongst the athletics spectators, sadly.

The Weight Leader has been on State TV showing off his Gold Medals for Shooting, Kayaking, Judo, Cycling, Diving, 100m, 1500m and Archery. It was filmed against a backdrop that makes London look worse than anything in Pyongyang and the spectators are dressed like something from a workhouse.
The real Gold Medal winners have been listed as cheats and philanderers that are indulging in orgies in the Olympic Village.
