Such a perfectly crafted swim. Legend

Amazing win. The coach lol

Handball Volleyball Archery

Its to keep the old biddies happy. It really is the most pointless sport. Its not even a sport. How do you judge a horse slowly trotting around a field and then walking sideways?

He looks like he belongs in the Fast Show or something.

What a cracker! Hes Lord Mayor?

1 - Opening Ceremony. Was like a giant scale Cirque du Soleis event. The strobe drummers to start it off...wow. The colour, the ideas, far and away the best opening ceremony ever. A great start to one of the most entertaining and enjoyable games. 2 - The Bolt - Hadnt really heard a great...

Sept 6? Nice. Always enjoyed the Paralympics but was of the idea it was on in a 6-8 weeks time, not 1 or 2 weeks. :thumbsu:

Yeah I feel the same. Im back studying full time again, externally as well, so had the Olympics on almost all the time the last two weeks. Dunno what ill watch now. Definately sad that its over, but will forget about it in a week.

I think given 7 seemed to have a moratorium on all Australian events/footage, they did exceptionally well. Things I liked: - Were happy to stick with matches from start to finish (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball etc) - Showed events that you dont tend to see a lot of footage of in...

SBS were the winners for me. Happy to play non-Australian stuff a lot (might not have had a choice though), were happy to show full matches and they had the two most exciting sports basically on rotation in Handball and Volleyball.

Lose marks for: - Too many ads - Not following through with scheduled events - Pulling the pin on matches where Australia had fallen behind - Excessive replays of medal winners - Inconsistency in the showing of events: ie. the whole thing for some events and only 5-10 minutes for others -...

Not everyone got a camcorder. Others got fake Rolex's i think. And no, I couldnt really care if stupid name gets a camcorder or not.

What a gun! Will be the first field gold in 60 years!

Bolt outran his opponents by about 30 metres on the turn. Killed em. And the final leg was equally impressive.

HOLY s**t! World Record! Incredible. Bolt....that was ****ing nuts!

The 3rd Jamaican bird went too early, the Jamaican girl with the baton couldnt reach and in one last attempt to get to her, accidentally ran into the British changeover, both sort of half tripped over each other and it was all over.

Be spewing if you were Britain...the Jamaican ran into the Brit and caused them to stuff up as well.

Whats with all the baton ****ups. Two of them ****ed up then.

Insane!

Cant really see this being a long term Olympic sport really.

Re: Television coverage bitch thread That vid is definately interesting, but in my opinion it doesnt hold enough weight unless they got a softball hitter to come in and go up against the baseball pitcher and do that comparison as well. Personally I find both sports rather boring to watch.

Why is this American plonker shouting out 'number 1 baby....number 1 baby' when he came 3rd?

Yeah the lack of field coverage has been really really dissapointing. Ive seen highlights of Long Jump, Pole Vault and Shot Put and thats it. Javelin, Discus, Hammer Throw, High Jump, Triple Jump...all these have been nowhere to be seen...yet they showed about 20 hours worth of Equestrian in...

Campbell-Brown in 21.74. Second gold medal in the event.

What a great game again! What a sport! Norway were 28-25 up with 90 seconds left to play. Korea then tied the scores up with 5 seconds left with a massive long range shot. Then literally on the buzzer Norway win the game with a miracle goal. Koreans in tears. Great sport!

For me the perception is that swimming WRs being broken are a lot more common than track WRs. Whether this is entirely true I am not sure, but on that basis, Id have to say Bolt. Very harsh on Phelps and it has nothing to do with his Yankeeism either, but thats the way it is.

Pretty much. Kept just behind the leader the whole time, just before one lap to go, the runner from Qatar broke, the leaders broke and Mottram couldnt go with them. Fell 3 seconds behind the time needed to get in the back way as well. I was in disbelief at his after race interview. What an...

No doubt he's in the middle of setting fire to the change rooms at this point. One of the most funny cringeworthy Olympic moments.

They said it was +0.9 for Bolt. Johnsons WR was in a -0.4. So you'd think theres some fair improvement to come from the Bolt.
