Let's go Australia, Olympics thread

[xchadders]

You are calling ME naive? May I point you to the Russian team? The chemists ARE in front of WADA. They are using off label and experimental drugs (see Essendon). I would hazard a guess that of the blue ribbon events, you won't find many clean athletes (please see Ben Johnson, Karl Lewis, Jacky Joyner Kersey, Asafa Powell, et al. Cycling, weightlifting, boxing, swimming, track... all events that have multiple athletes banned from PED use. I agree - they will eventually catch them, but they are constantly playing catch up. The games we see will not be clean, no matter how much you wish.

pretty sure you're making that up? which boxers have been banned from drug use? since the ban of PEDs and the beginning of testing in 1967, there has been one boxer banned after a positive test.

Kudos, good sir.

At the Opening Ceremony, I really hope they don't start with the stadium in complete darkness. Who knows what could be stolen?

The opening ceremony isn't too bad. The Brazilians seem to know how to throw a party. Looks like a great atmosphere.

Loved Saudi Arabia changing their name around so they came out in the As at the front of the athletes parade. I'm mean WTF was that? lol

It's French. The official language of the Olympics.

Also why Germany came out in the 'A's as well.

The only reason to keep watching the Opening Ceremony is to see how big the boo is when Russia marches in its steroid-laden athletes.

Should have held the Ceremony at Subiaco.

Andrew Gaze said about 20 words during the walk out. Seemed like Bruce was just talking to himself for an hour or so.

 

[Smoooothy]

Most boring opening ceremony ever..

As long as they keep the lady in the black dress on the screen, I don't care.

They do go for a long time, I'm not sure they are ever exciting the whole way through. Still get a chill down the spine seeing the Olympic flame lit though.

A mate of mine is competing in the sprint cycling for the first time, so seeing some awesome images from the Opening Ceremony on Facebook.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Most boring opening ceremony ever..

Pan the cameras towards the favelas for the first Olympic event, BOPE vs the Comando Vermelho

 

[BACCS]

It's pretty amazing that over half the world watch the Olympics, nothing will ever beat that.

"But this is just the start, you see, the Opening Ceremony just marks the start of competition."

Well thanks for that keen insight, Beretts!
