The Olympics

[bigfooty]

I like the Athletics. Got a feeling Britain will do really bad at these Olympics though.

The swimming was great today. That Phelps is amazing.

Also enjoying a bit of women's volleyball too

I'm watching a lot, it's entertaining.

I'm enjoying it so far. The swimming has been good, great to see another couple of medals this morning, and I've enjoyed the cycling and some of the footy. It's only getting started.

The diving has been excellent. Not sure how drugs could mess with that sport.

I do raise my eyebrows at a 17 year old Chinaman breaking a weightlifting record though... Hats off if he's genuine though!

Do India have any medals yet?

Weightlifting

2 Sibel Ozkan (Tur) 199kg Silver

**** me these women are strong

I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't those the combined weights from the "clean & jerk" and the "snatch" events?

Yeah, combined

It's fun to while away half an hour watching a ridiculous sport or two, the 100m is always fascinating and it might be interesting seeing how our boys do in the football....

But, ultimately, The Oympic Games...who gives a **** ?

I do

Its been fantastic so far, watching a few days of Olympic swimming is better than watching at least 75% of Premier League football.

Enjoying it so far; and doesn't that Tom Daley look like that kid off Coronation Street?!?

[Joe King]

I watched the canoeing today at work. It looked good fun
