London 2012 Olympics Thread

But it should be, especially in athletics.

Thanks a lot gooner...

Chris Hoy is GB's Olympic flag bearer.

Is it too late to give the Olympics to Paris?

This is a right joke.

London welcomes the world to the Corporate Olympiad. Everyone is welcome. But not the people who actually live and work in London. You people are scum and we do not want you going near our shiny new venues. Don't even look at them!

Seb Coe, what have you done!!

Chillax.

Nothing but good news so far; my Sunday morning walk to church was glorious - normally tripping over gormless tourists but London was a ghost town this weekend.

 

[BillytheKid]

I am looking forward to the London Games. Best wishes to all.

 

[ParfaitAmour]

Couldn't get any tickets for any events or Box Hill.

Trying to weigh up whether there is any point in attending the Sat road race ? hmmm

Same would occur in many a city nowadays, for those who looked at Beijing and saw a functioning city I suggest looking a bit closer and you would see what really was and is going on in that city.

Since when is Vivani racing the road race for Italy? Did I miss something?

outrage! change of venue change of venue

Beach volleyballers might cover up for Olympics
on the horizon there is a storm (or, simply put, English weather), and it could cause volleyball players to bundle up in the equivalent of long underwear instead of bathing suits. The forecast calls for highs in the 60s early next week, with up to a 30 percent chance of rain. When you factor in night matches, that's not exactly bikini weather. Some beach volleyball players are ready to take precaution.

 

[RedheadDane]

Aww! Don't worry Krebs, next time (as in 2016) it'll be more likely with bikini weather!

I live and work in central London - Whereabouts do you live and work?

Any other Londoners thinking of attending the road races? I was thinking planning on heading down to the Mall. I might not see much, but I was thinking I could hang around and go autograph hunting after the race. Think this will be possible? I would suggest a meet up but the crowds are gonna be maniac.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Wow, well done Britain, first day and already f'king it up!

North Korea's game delayed after South Korea's flag shown.

Would be surprised if this was a genuine error, more likely some **** trying to make a point but either way great start to the 'non-political' games.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Like Andy Murray, this was a Scottish error.

I live and work in EC4, which is the most central postcode there is.

My Sunday morning stroll down the Strand was gloriously quiet.

Olympic Torch pops past my door tomorrow, but fortunately I will be in work by then.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Apparently there was some issues with Koreans or something tonight?

 

[Sørensen]

Just sad Michelle Jenneke wont be there

So glad someone posted this. It's been running on high rotation at my place.

Just so I can get into the Olympic spirit though!

 

[ElChingon]

The only event you should really plan on watching is here (just the woman's event),

The rest I can review whenever.

 

[ElChingon]

The Games have yet to begin and we have our first athlete booted from the event! (don't worry non Clinic incident, but more Cafe related)

Greek triple jumper removed from Olympic team after making racist comments on Twitter

 

[Izzy eviel]

Another athlete bites the dust... failed drug test. Mariem Selsouli did a Frankie.

In other news, Boris latest vanity project has already failed. Didn't even know it was in service! http://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/passengers-stranded-90-metres-in-the-air-as-londons-new-cable-car-breaks-down-7976314.html

Uggghhhhh, that's gotta hurt!

It appears that like yourself, this was a London error.

"the video package was sent from London and Hampden organisers had no input."

Calm down dearest - it was pretty obvious nothing would actually have been entrusted to Scots, I was just playing with a meme.

Meanwhile

We're going to win enough gold to bail out Greece and Spain

Chortle.
