Talk about the actual sport taking place at the Olympic Games here.

Moaners and groaners, use t'other thread here.

[gingerjon]

This thread is nothing without the Norway womens handball team.

So here's European Player of the Year, Heidi Loke being all shouty:

Typical. First comment about the South of England Olympic Games is from a Londoner, talking about a potential immigrant that he fancies

I also hope to see more of this lady and her friends

[Futtocks]

I'll wait for the Long Jump.

This thread is becoming disturbingly sexist.




Keep it up.

No leching here, just magnificence.

And admire the photographer in the pink trying to keep up with him

I'm actually looking forward to the games now. I can remember staying up to watch David Wilkie in the swimming in 1976.

Why is the football struggling and where are the games taking place?

Why is the football struggling ?

Especially when they've not picked the world's most famous active footballer ... David Beckham ... but instead have gone for: -
- a bloke who refused to be on standby for England in the European Cup. Decent player, but not first choice for his club.
- a really good player but knocking on and has retired from international football. Unfortunately, he's serial adulterer who did the dirty on his own brother and tried to gag the press from revealing any of these character traits. Naturally, they've made him captain.
- a serial troublecauser ... once attacked a teammate with a golf club .. who's never won anything. Dodgy knees, struggles to train and can't play twice in a week. Likely to step down to the Championship this season

Oh and they are run by a bloke who has never won anything as a manager, is not wanted as an assistant by the current England manager and has declined to pick any Scots or Irish players.

I can't wait to see who we meet in the final.

Ha ha, Football is beginning to overtake the media's coverage of the rest of the games.
Thick media



Also, why has a new Olympics thread been started after the other Merged threads has been locked?

Smacks a bit of Mod Rule the ideas.

Sorry John, I see it's all about the porn.

From a sports point of view if Norway are playing it's likely to be one sided.

From any other point of view, it'll be a good view.

I closed the original thread because it was becoming difficult to follow. Comments about the sports were mingled in with arguments about the politics of it all. I'm interested in both aspects, but they don't really mix.

Once the Olympics get underway, it may be that many more threads are started to discuss the individual events, as there will be a LOT going on, and discussing Usain Bolt's progress in the 100 metres in the same thread as Tom Daley's medal hopes in the diving, for example, will be hard work.

I'm just trying to make it as easy as possible for people to discuss this massive event, whether they support it or hate it.

[Bedford Roughyed]

Got tickets for the athletics... some heptathlon action will be nice! I can't wait!

[Johnoco]

I was under the impression that every ticket for everything had sold out and you had to go on a list if you wanted any. Is this not the case?

It was, now isn't.

Thousands of tickets left. But if you want to pay £30 (min) for volleyball prelims then go ahead.
