London 2012 - Chat Thread

It is a shame Mark failed to get gold thanks to those cowardly Aussies, but Wiggins & Froome made up for it.

The amount of covering stuff that's already happened is doing my head in. That's why they have highlights shows at night. Show some fucking live sport.

Everything is shown live so just go on a computer.. One thing I hate is the highlights show. They only show stuff to do with GB and they haven't shown one bit of tennis, football and a few other interesting sports.

It just pissed me off that Gary Lineker was going through what he's seein over tonight. Included GB football at 9:35 and GB hockey at 10 (which happened before). And then instead of going to swimming or something they started with the rowing from before.

BBC3 keep letting Reggie Yates do shitey interviews. The fuck is he got to do with this?

They seriously do need a non biased highlights show. The other night they didn't even show the Korean crying and refusing to leave the fencing. Instead they showed Tom Daley diving for half an hour..

I haven't even watched any of the highlights stuff. There's usually some beach volleyball or basketball still going on.

In the name of highlights, they really should stop counteracting that by just showing Britain's mediocrity (for the most of it). It's baffling why they don't give us a well rounded package including all kinds of events. Like it's the bloody US of A here.

200m breaststroke final, Hungarian bloke smashed the WR, Jamieson (GB) silver.

Not good enough.

For a nation surrounded by water, GB have underperformed.

Yes Witcher, they all practice in the sea.

I don't need your confirmation.

@BBCSport
Royal Mail will be issuing GB gold medal winning stamps. Puts a lot of pressure on letters to be delivered quickly. #bbc2012

What a race just now in the 100m free, Nathan Adrian by .1 seconds, USA with another gold.

Swimming is rather enjoyable.

Another US gold.

da gawd team.

That Missy Franklin is only 17 and she's fucking huge.

US has 5x as many people as the UK though.

American anchor was fucking crazy. She started like .3 seconds behind the Aussies and came out like 2-3 seconds ahead. Canadians came 4th though, not bad. We were never really challenging for 3rd.

You aint doing shit with ya life fam.

Nathan Adrian is hot.

BBC1 showing gymnastics from before, BBC3 and a red button channel showing boxing, other red button channel fucks up. This coverage...

Inb4 Mal tells me again everything's online.

Sky with all the Olympic channels.

You get what you pay for.

The atmoshpere in the GB-Uruguay game was great, unlike most of the indoor events I've been to.. corporate ticket owners are ruining the early stages of these Games.

Most aren't even turning up.

Still another beach volleyball to come after Czech - Aussies finish.
