London 2012 Megathread [Part 1]

Mint Sauce

Okay, so After Hours doesn't usally do sports threads, barr the odd exception. But with only 11 days* to to one of the biggest sporting fortnights on the earth, and with what is preety much a Home Olympics for us, well its the closest it will ever come here. Prehaps its appropiate that the good folks of After Hours post all their thoughts, amusing observations, the scandel, and prehaps even the odd result here.

So here we go, you excited yet?

*9 days till the Football competition

PS. COME ON KATIE TAYLOR!!

If he's the basketball commentator I'm thinking of he's brilliant. Makes even the most boring games (all of basketball) entertaining. There's some drinking games for his commentating floating about too.

Disagree with your views on basketball but do agree that McCarthy's unconventional approach to commentary can be fairly entertaining.

Basketball just isn't my sport. I recognise there's value to it (should go without saying) but it's not my thing. I'd watch entire matches he was commentating at the last Olympics though.

Watching the swimming now. I love the noise that signals the start of the race. It's the same noise for as long as I can remember. Kind of like an angry confused teenager "beep".

World Record smashed by 1.02 seconds in the Womens 400m Individual Medley, not exactly Usain Bolt territory but it was exciting to watch.

The officals standing there when the swimmers are leaving the arena remind me of chuggers

Bill O'Herlihy is so very annoying. Makes me want to puke listening to him and he clearly knows nothing about swimming.
