Wow, I'd never heard of that chick before (I live in an orphanage so please spare the abuse).
I will now watch more hurdles.

Noone should carry the damned flag. Let that be a lesson. And Cook can go home for bringing thr games into disrepute and for being butt-ugs.
she should think herself lucky beach volleyball is classed as a sport.I mean i know its a great perv but for me its up there with sync swimming.I agree send her home
agreed, beach volleyball and sync swimming are the worst and most boring things to watch.Quote:

It was in 1992 that the image of a celibate Games began to flicker when it was reported that the Barcelona Games' organisers had ordered in prophylactics like pizza. Then, at the 2000 Sydney Games, 70,000 condoms weren't enough, prompting a second order of 20,000 and a new standing order of 100,000 condoms per Olympics.

I'll never forget that party at Pontoon Bar in Cockle Bay on the night of the closing ceremony in 2000
epic night, party at a friends place in Potts Point watching fireworks, got to Cockle Bay through a ridiculously packed city, was supposed to be on the door, wasn't, still blagged my way in
And it begins...rof, Bout as bad as they could have done. well doneQuote:

Pommies are awesome.
Can someone cue up the Benny Hill music for the highlights package.

Steve Redgrave to light the flame.
Really wished for Becks to kick a flaming football.Quote:

Mentioned this on the other podcast I do a few months ago.
Discussed either Becks and the flaming football, or a local hood rolling a flaming car.
I reckon they should get an old school catapult and get the queen to cut the rope with a sword firing a huge fireball into the cauldron
i can get on board with this.Quote:

I'm now tipping roger bannister to light the cauldron.
That was a cop out.
the cauldron lighting was pretty shit to be honest
but otherwise it was a pretty good opening ceremony (besides the rock eisteddfod type crap for kids), Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Pink Floyd, Arctic Monkeys, Beatles - quite good music for something like this
Eddie Mcguire boring as bat shite anchoring Nine's coverage

Agreed. Redgrave should have rowed the flame up that creek, not Beckham trying to look like James bond. Beckham isnt an Olympic athlete. After redgrave's single skull gets to the warf, he should have handed the flame to roger bannister riding a chariot....Quote:

Camilla and the lord mayor look shocked.
anyone else watching the men's road race on 185?
should go until about 1:30 am - here's hoping my beer supply and consciousness last that long
Sure am. Taking a booze break at the moment to load up on caffeine to make sure I get to the end. Two games of football may take its toll though.Quote:

I watched the start as it wound its way through Fulham & Putney, as I wanted to check out my old stomping ground. Funnily enough I was checking landmarks by the many pubs I'd made a fool of myself in.Quote:

Can somebody explain cycling to me in a nutshell.
I don't understand the whole team aspect. Like, to me I view it like swimming, if you're the best swim me, you race hard and win. Cycling seems to be a lot of, hmmm, i'll bludge here (bludge relative to their capability, i know they are powering on.), now i'll go fast for a while....slow back down.
The gist, I guess, why doesn't somebody say, ok, so, the last 10 winners of this race did it in 6 hours, 23 minutes and 15 seconds. So, if i can cycle the distance in 6 hours and 18 minutes, i should win.....
Showing how naive i am haha.
The reason they don't is that if you went out and treated it like a Time Trial, in all likely hood the peloton would pull you in well before the end. Groups of riders are faster than individuals over long distances, so if you go it alone its rare to stay away on a flatish course.
That said, with no radios on offer in the olympics for the teams, if the breakaway is organised they will have a bit more chance than usual.
Some teams also have sprinters as the only realistic chance of winning a race. For those teams, the important thing is protecting that rider until the end of the race.
Nibali, get in you good man.
Hopefully all these splinter groups from the main peleton **** up Team GB's hopes of unleashing Cavendish after he's freewheeled all the way to the final sprint! Gotta feel for Rogers now though - there's bunches going all the time and he got shafted with no one following him
2 mins won't be enough over the final 50km of flat, it'll be a bunch sprint finish.
If that first chase group can reach the leaders they could potentially hold out - that'd be >10% of the field out front, plenty of nations represented so their compatriots may be happy to give their breakaway man/men a shot rather than help GB bring it all back together to allow Cav to demolish them all
