UnOfficial 2012 London Olympics' Thread

[split decision]

Bolt wins the 100m and sets a new Olympic record and really it was not even close. Blake is 2nd and Gaitlin 3rd. If not for Asafa pulling injured every runner would have finished sub 10seconds. Amazing.

You know, watching the race in HD on a big screen, especially when they show it from that trackside camera, it's freakin amazing. I love the Olympics!

Bolt shuts an interviewer up when the U.S. National Anthem plays for a lady competitor. I cant think of any athlete who would shut down an interviewer to pay respect to another countries anthem. Classy move.

He was more than far away that he could have continued and it not even be known. Still, a very classy move and show of respect. A lot of people dont care for Bolt because of his pre and post race antics but I like him. He is a freak of nature. He is out there having fun. He also backs it up on the track.

Another classy move I seen was by Kirani James after a 400m semifinal heat. After the race he went straight up to Oscar Pistorious, double amputee and asked him to trade name tags. He showed him a lot of respect.

Bolt tweeted a pic of him hanging out with the swedish chick handball team at 3:45 a.m. this morning before racing.

Caught the last twenty minutes of the women's soccer semi-final between USA and Canadia. What a game. USA win it at the death after a knock down back and forth slooober knocker of a game in extra time.

Bolt is the man. He is quoted as saying that he won't be a legend until he retains the200m title. He also gave massive props to his training partner for pushing him so hard. Never heard of anyone hating on Bolt, why would you?

Caught some Olympic boxing and seen the defending world champion from Cuba fight a Brazilian opponent. The ref basically handed the fight to the Cuban champion on a silver platter... On to the women's soccer match between Canada and the US - BOO! Are you fuhkin' kidding me? How much did you Yankee bastards pay that cunt ref to secure the win??? As always, the politics at the Olympics is ruining a lot of the enjoyment of watching the events.

Its really a tough comparison when you really want to rank Phelps in a historical context with other athletes. For one thing swimmers have the advantage of having so many different disciplines to compete in. So that helps raise his metal count. IMO Phelps is slightly the greatest US Olympian because of the metals and the world records, plus sheer dominance. Although I can see Carl Lewis being ahead of him. Lewis was a favorite of mines growing up. He had the world records and participated in more athletic events 100, 200, and long jump. He also had the longevity. People are quick to forget the past, getting caught up in the now.

After watching this video I can see why Carl Lewis was one of your favorites growing up

Ok you got me there! I use to watch before bed every night.

Glad to see Aly Raisman nail her floor routine. She put on one of the great performances of the games thus far. Poor Gabby has fallen apart since her amazing run through the finals.

The US beach and indoor volleyball teams are ripping through the competition.

Remember this?

The oh, oh, Ohhh-lympics! As record 150,000 condoms are handed out to a host of super-attractive athletes, could London 2012 be the raunchiest games ever?

TKD starts today. There was a massive controversy here in the GB about the non-selection of the world no.1 Aaron Cook. Cook left TKD GB elite squad due to being unhappy with training. Since he left he has just about won everything. His non-selection is widely seen a political move by TKD GB to punish Cook for leaving the elite squad.
