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!!

The three girls who won the gold for Britain in the pursuit come across as some of the nicest, most bubbly and just most normal people you could ever come across. Very refreshing and so pleased for them!

Yeah; no airs and graces about them.

Is yer man into the next round in the walking race? Did sleeping in an oxygen tent help him?

I find it hard to take this event seriously..

Hercule Poirot

This race is a fecking farce, twice someone should have been eliminated and twice the flash box didnt work - ridiculous!

Agree totally with your comments about the Olympians. And I get where you are coming from with the bit about modern day footballers. Don't think I could give it up though!

Fencing update;

Dramatic finish in the women's team Épée bronze medal match with the US beating Russia in extra time.

Gonna have to watch the swimming online tonight

Its a shame Phelps will go number 3 in his race. It would have been magical seeing him win the gold at the end.

Javier Culson is one cool customer. Timed his run to perfection there.

Im gonna try ween myself off it over the next few months. One of my biggest gripe is the interviews. Earlier in the rowing the British lads that just lost out on gold were purely shattered and genuinely devastated. They were gutted that they felt they let everyone around them down. They were pretty unlucky with the seat breaking but didnt blame it. When i see footballers lose a game, they dont look shattered or too devastated. They also end up blaming everyone else bar themselves. Its always the ref or the pitch :rolleyes:

Is that supposed to be funny?

Just listening to Ian Thorpe Australia have only 1 gold from the aquatic centre, that is pretty bad for them as they are usually a dominabt swimming power.

I have noticed that they were not doing well, I normally support them if there is no Irish or British in the race.

Its mad looking at a stadium with absolutely no advertisements.

Can't believe no one is showing the final night of swimming live.

Anyone know where online I can watch it?

40 at the end of the month, with three young athletes running around the Lewis household. Definite MILF potential.

On on the BBC red button and http://www.rte.ie/live/olympics/ (you better have reasonably quick BB for comfortable viewing)

Thanks found out I have Eurosports on the UPC. So watch it there

I like the BBC coverage so a bit annoyed the showing football instead. Commentry is dire on Eurosports.

We dont have red button on UPC for BBC which is annoying. I like the BBC commentry esp with Ian Thrope insight either down at pool with Claire Bading and Mark Foster or when he is back in studio.

Ah well I stick with Eurosport.
As you said RTE stream is dire and I have good enough bb

RTE's online streams are working perfectly for me. Far better quality than some of the other streams.

crap penalty. Poxy ramsey

I only just realised I had eurosports too. i don't know why the bbc/rte are switching to athletics it's the final night . I nearly forgot there was swimming on today thinking it was over last night. It'll be athletics for the days after anyway.
