We got a hurdles race! Managed to get down around 18 secs... XD (Dunno how far it's supposed to be)

We really get bored around here don't we?

Easiest way: press print-scr, go into image editing program, paste, save, then upload it on your facebook account, using "me only" visibility. Then you just put the link to it in IMG tags.

Ohh, then i am out of the game. I am not at facebook. I don´t wanna give free shots to billionairs to control me.

That´s obvious...

BTW, nice record. You better post this in the clinic. Too good to be true.

Of course, you can also use photobucket, imageshack etc. I just assumed it's more probable to have a facebook account than one on these websites.

Juicing for sure

Ah, beaten to the punch by Foxxy.

Just seen some great officiating under pressure at the end of the Spain vs GB field hockey.

Lots of heated players and coaches afterwards but umpires did the right thing and ultimately made the correct decisions.

Both GB men and women thought to semis. Excellent stuff.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Yea that score is too good to be true.

 

[SirLes]

Yea that score is too good to be true.

What are you suggesting?

Did you watch the game?

The decisions were correct. (although there was one mistake when the Spanish were given a second short corner when it should have been long but the subsequent corner was saved anyway.)

 

[taiwan]

lol

Supposed we got this rather than basket because basket isn't so big over here... but running into stuff totally is!

Good emotional show by Harting after he won gold in a tight contest. Don´t know if someone saw it. It was worth watching.

It was hilarious.

https://www.google.com/doodles/hurdles-2012 is the correct link for the hurdle game. I got 16.9.

I shalll sit down quietly and after a suitable pause try to slip out the back door when no one is looking red faced with shame and embarrassment

 

[SirLes]

Slightly embarrassing when you reinstate an athlete you threw out for not trying because his doctor says he's injured and then he wins the 1500m the next day!

I know a few people with those sorts of doctors notes.

 

[Cancellator]

Did you see the guy dropping 196 kg inches from his skull? Scary stuff. (Watching the weightlifting rerun right now.)

seemed to me also fastest than god damn sally on the hurdles
too bad that the iranian left his space for 2 cm or something,he had a magnificent 5th throw

ukhov was good to watch today
the algerian was having a nice jogging ride tonight also


now watching some monsters lifting hundreds of kilos,don't give me any spoilers

A good day/night for Australia. Two gold and another likely one on the way in the 49er class in the sailing. There's one more race to go and apparently they are unlikely to be caught. I know absolutely nothing about sailing, so I'm not sure if that is really the case or if it's hopeful Aussie media spin. We will see.

Winning doesn't make our commentators any better, for the most part they are complete puss. The mute button comes in very handy.

What is with the Aussies placing value only on gold?

I certainly don't. I just like watching anyone (Aussie or otherwise) getting out there and having a crack. My post was just in reference to the earlier discussion about Aussie lack of gold in comparison to other Olympics. I might be mistaken, it could have been in the other Olympic thread.

Our media is definitely focussed on Gold, as our some of our athletes. We've had a couple be quite sooky and/or surly about getting silver or bronze or missing a medal. I hope they come home and appreciate what they achieved a bit more than they have at the time and in turn are appreciated here. But no-one likes to see athletes being less than gracious when accepting silver or bronze medals, perhaps that's why our media has chosen not to focus on them. It hasn't been a good look for Australia at times this Olympics.

What is wrong with wanting to win considering the large amount of taxpayer dollars that goes into the Games?

You seem to get a lot of commentary from the crowd who don't like sport and ask similar silly questions. It is not that we do not value Gold but when so many athletes who were expected to get Gold or at least place have not done so, questions are asked.

Go Anna! Well done Sally as well!

What a hero macloufi

Up yours bbc commentator. Macloufi should sue him.

They will take the gold. Even if they finish last in the last race they have a big enough lead to ensure they get gold:
