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!!

For once not RTEs fault apparently, it seems there are only cameras providing full race coverage for one day in each sailing category (excluding the medal races of course). Unfortunately the womens laser had its turn earlier in the week.

Well the boards.ie commentators are so much better anyway

The track cycling is back on, I just watched a heat with Victoria Pendleton I would be shocked if she doesn't get gold as she is in such form.

LMAO at the mad pace bike in the velodrome

oh no, Belgan is in 2nd, the way things are Annalise will only be a point ahead. Hope she can win it tomorrow, only one race left.

Patser

Better now, up to 7th - 3 Point gap and right behind the Dutch girl who was also closing on her in the points

BraziliaNZ

Why aren't RTE showing the sailing? Where are ye watching it ? not on the red button either.

Patser

Ah here there obviously stuff going on in that race to do with what line you're taking in each leg.

Annalise down to 9th, the Dutch girl flew up to 4th and most importantly Belgian in 1st, so Annalise all square now but still 3 legs to go and at each switch there's a lot of positions being jumped

What a fantastic name :pac:

Just thinking the technology that goes into those bikes is truly space age, its weird when a bicycle is more expensive then my car when it was new.

Patser

On last leg now and Annalise is 10th , Belgian has won!

Edit: Finished 10th, so has lost overall lead to the Belgian and the Dutch girl is only 2 points behind as well.

Hmmm, I think we can predict how this will end.

Jaysus lads, she's second in a field of 40. It's hardly the end of the world!

Federar 17-17 all in the tiebreaker in the tennis Federar vs the guy from Argentia.

Longest game in olympic history.

Some dope has a baby crying and roaring in the crowd. The should bate the parents around the place with the racket.

westendgirlie

C'mon Annalise !!!!!

nice_very

but these races are only to qualify for the medal race.. so a top 10 finish will qualify her, the medal races are what really count and worth double points too

garv123

Federer just broke serve at 18-17. serving for the win. 4 hours 20 mins.

Well hopefully tomorrow ends with Annalise in a great position for the medal race on Sunday. Kinda like she is at this very moment.

BraziliaNZ

garv123

Federer wins 20-18 in the tie breaker. some serious games of tennis in these games.
