O2North Greenwich Arena

Highlights mf.

Isn't the gymnastics at the O2?

Women's beach volleyball da gawds.

US a set up.

Commentating on highlights?

That's live.


Can't be beaten.

Wembley arena I think, or maybe Excel.

EDIT: I'm completely wrong You're right - gymnastics are at the O2, basketball is split between O2 and a new purpose-build basketball arena called (wait for it) Basketball Arena.

Beach Volleyball on horse guards parade at half 11, wut?

I swear the basketball is at that temporary arena near the stadium, the big white thing.

Colin Jackson is definitely gay, but who cares.

There are no big white things in Stratford.

Say what? Apparently isn't temporary though, thought it was.

Oh don't mind me, I was just being casually racist again

Women's boxing? Interesting.

Haven't really seen any of todays action with me being out all day.

Do they hit each other with handbags instead of gloves?

Paula Radcliffe is still around...jeez.

She's pulling out though, so they say.

If she does pull out, I hope she's smart enough to do it before her races and not half way through like she did in Athens.

I do feel bad for her though, she's had rotten luck over the years.

She's having a test run today to see if she can compete. Not quite pulling out..

So that highlight show seems to only concern itself with events with Brits participating. No Archery or fencing.

Here's hoping she doesn't shit all over The Mall.

Women's volleyball still going on.

Isn't everything available to re-watch online?

Probably, but I'm a sucker for packages.

If the Archery's online it's well worth a watch. The final in particular was compelling

I can't find any video of Lochte winning the IM, someone help me out, hopefully nonofficial video (which wouldn't be filtered out by country)

Do you like really wanna see it? I can cap it for you.

Yeah its not available on NBC's site, I swear these guys are fucking up the olympics.
