London 2012 - Chat Thread

I enjoy watching the swimming and athletics every time the Olympics come around, but I have to agree with Kenny here

Laying it out like it is.

Philip Hindes admitted that he fell on purpose after having a bad start, so that he can restart.

They would have qualified anyway, they just broke the world record on the second go. They won by like 4 seconds and he said later on a different show that it wasn't on purpose anyway. English is his second language.

I thought Eternal was talking about the British guy that fell over and injured himself after the Dai Green race, I'm probably wrong though. I am wrong.. but yeah I thought that.

I don't even know why I made this post.

Might have been, it's not like the other Greene is well known like Dai though.

Missy Franklin has 4 Olympic golds at the age of 17.

White person wins a running event, holy shit.

That Chinese bloke SMASHED his world record by 3 seconds in the 1500m freestyle.

Beat the OR by 7 seconds I think.

We lost HUGE in Handball today, totally as i sort of predicted (that we would lose against Croatia as we are already through) We rarely do well qualifying for the next round earlier than required. 11 goals loss(enormous) to Croatia who we have beaten quite a few times over the last few big tournaments. We have to win against South Korea to not risk facing Iceland or France in the quarter finals, after that tiredness becomes a bigger factor and we are usually better by then. Have no idea when we last lost that big.

Gold and Silver from Rowing today and sure of at least Silver in Men's doubles Badminton
