Oxymoron

how is it?

an oxymoron would be

No way Definitely

maybe i could phrased it better, such as "almost definitely" but stop nit picking

Almost definitely is no way definitely, because it's either definite or it's not.

Almost definitely is no way definitely, because it's either definite or it's not.

almost definite gives the implication that it is probable. No way definately means it is no way near and an impossible outcome.


This is going nowhere

So Lolo Jones doesnt medal, all that hype for not a damn thing.

Pretty much what my Dad was saying to me last Saturday. So much hype when she isn't among the best in the world.

seething? lo lo

I thought the Lolo hype was based on her being a 30 year old virgin. Well she proved one thing, abstinence from sex doesn't help you win Olympic gold. Even if that probably wasn't her intention, thats what i have learned from her


Only got Mens Handball to look forward to for Denmark, don't think we got any medals coming in Kayak events this year and the 49'rrrrrrrrr boat has been shaky, don't believe they will pull through in the medal race.

Seeing as Americans came in silver and bronze, nah. Just don't get the hype, she failed in Beijing too. I guess it's because she's kind of funny and cute.

Really low scoring basketball game here. France 42-53 Czechs with 9 minutes to go in the 4th.

Just saw the Liu Xiang video, great stuff.

We won our 9th medal!! 49 boat didn't disappoint after all, (although they got gold in beijing which was a great story)

This is Denmarks best medal performance since 1948 where there were very few countries at the games due to the war aftermath, according to the national sports organisation people we are better than ever as we still have chances to increase our medal count with Kayaks and Handball. Not that its gonna matter much in 2 weeks when all the focus is back on football.

Hey cunts I heard we've won some more Gold.

BMX in the Olympics.

As if BBC three and the one digital channel on air are showing different stages of the same table tennis final.

Olympics are dead already now.

I concur.

Some France basketball player just ran up to the Spaniard in possession and punched him in the nuts.

The co-commentator said "the inmates are running the asylum".

When asked about the incident, Nickolas Batumn said "I wanted to give him a good reason to flop"

Ireland has its first medal. \o/

Maybe for GB. There's still the finals in most of the team sports and some athletics like the 200m.

5 guaranteed boxing medals, Mo Farah in the 5000m final..

Mal's right, only interesting stuff going on is athletics- and that's only morning and evening. Most of the day is bollocks like show jumping etc..

Oh right, for you people who get to watch it live. :dry;

The Spaniards deserved that, they were playacting almost as much as their footballers do.

All these guys are a second behind Bolt and Blake in their PBs.

So, so easy for Bolt.

Turns on just as Bolt gears up. Like a goddam boss.

Felix da gawd.

Blake almost stopped running for the last 25 or 30 metres.

Allyson Felix with the gold
