The Official Olympic Thread

[Vermilion]

I actually quite enjoyed the 100m once it was going, I just wish they'd all cut the posing out. When they were all being announced it was like a scene from Zoolander, each striking their individual pose.

I'm not a fan of cockyness.

100m runners are the ultimate posers, always have been.

"Natasha Adams all but through in the boxing. Leads by 6 going into the last round"

Don't think so Katie Taylor just destroyed her 26-15

Taylor beat Tasha Jonas

[spanky]

Great fight and class sportsmanship from both girls at the end but Taylor is just on another level. Woohoo its not much but we've got 2 medals so far Annalise was so unlucky but shes got age on her side so can only get better.

Whoops wrong opponent got caught up in excitement of the Taylor match

Stumble on the dismount going to cost Tweddle gold

[ChesterDave]

Dont think Tweddle will get anything here

My fault that one . It was Nicola Adams that won, not Natasha. Natasha Jonas did indeed get beat.

I'm just making up names as I go along

[Chazza]

Only get lapdancers names right eh Dave?

Can't believe we're only just past the half way point, seems like it's been going on for ages, not that I'm complaining!

I swear the Olympics used to last 4 weeks, with the second 2 weeks for athletics exclusively.

Superb 'tache on that Chilean gymnast there:



Worth gold on it's own IMO.

I think it is just you. I don't quite know why but when you're around, everything seems to draaaaaaaaaaaaag.
