London 2012 Olympics
SPORT
who's loving it?I spent about half of today just watching various bits of tennis, hockey, rowing and a variety of other stuff
Here's the current medal table: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/...dals/countries
Team GB is currently 5th, having just picked up 2 more golds and 1 silver so far today!
I have watched an obscene amount of coverage.
I loved watching the men's canoe slalom, I was on my feet for most of it, and when the boys secured not only a gold but a silver medal, too, I was cheering away. Then I made sure to catch the cycling in work, two world records and a gold. Not bad for a day's work, eh?
What a disappointment with the ladies cycling sprint pair
The obvious response to that is - 'Murica.
I'm watching it right now, in fact I've just had the tv on all day, every day. I love the Olympics,
A gold medal and a world record smashed on home turf? I think the men's team pursuit team can file that one under "job done!" What a moment!

That was amazing! The acceleration came out of nowhere, and when that happened, I lost the plot!
Edit: I loved the reaction from Honk Kong's Wai Sze Lee. She looked overjoyed and was so giddy with excitement when she arrived at the podium she faced the wrong way!

25 golds and 23 sports on today including...
Helen Jenkins going for triathlon gold! Live from Hyde Park right now, with the ladies swimming through the Serpentine
(hey Hollie, the Serpentine is the lake that the Baa'li demon rose out of in our roleplay 'Behold, the Cursed Seed of Enoch'
Another pair of golds and a silver already today! TEAM GB!!

Jessica Ennis! Greg Rutherford! Mo Farah! What a night for British athletics!
Would have loved to be in that stadium! Amazing night

I just heard it in the replay! What a way to end the match!

oh what a tangled web I weave
I can't believe more people didn't notice / comment on this! Maybe no one else was watching the match?"He's crumbled under the pressure like Queen Elizabeth's teeth!"

What event was that in? They dont show any velodrome stuff until 12:30am. Yes, AM. West coast time that is 8:30am yours...the next day!
I did watch what they had of it to see Glorius GB win.
Oh, Andy Murray. How sweet does it feel to beat Roger Federer in the final at Wimbledon? Poetic isn't the word!
And now he's about to compete in the mixed doubles final, too. That's a hardy Scot for you!
I love watching Laura Trott. Check out her elimination race for the women's omnium if you can.
Not a huge soccer (football) fan, but Canada's women's team got hosed. I'll admit the winning goal was a thing of beauty, but the penalty that let the American's tie it up was BS...
Hopefully they didn't leave too much out on the field and have enough to go for Bronze.
