The Official Olympic Thread

Michael Phelps, what an athlete - 20 medals, 16 of them gold. 8 golds in one olympics, 6 in another and another 2 so far in this olympics.

****ing amazing

[Shaggy]

Very likeable. Glad he's sitting next to Balding and not Lineker.

Yeah.

Look, he does that Aussie cricketer thing where they all preface each sentance with "Look". Some cricketers go "aarr look", some just say "look". It seems it's spreading to other Aussie sportsmen. Look, I really like him.

Great Final 1/4 effort from GB in the Basketbal. 30-19 over Spain but just not uite enough with Spain winning 79-78

Yep. I guess eating all those Subways helped him.

One of the most amateur mistakes I've ever seen at the end though, ridiculous at that level.

Most decorated yes, the greatest Olympian - No

Don't usually go for sentimental bull****, but found this quite interesting.
