HT at water polo 6-5 to the murricans...

What is the name of the Heptathlete that isnt as good as Ennis but is incredibly fit apart from her Scouse accent? and why isnt there any pics of her in this thread ?

Waiting for the cycling and now they put on this dressage. Lol Wtf is this?! Embarrassing that a gold in this is equivalent to a gold in triathlon or something similar.

Katrina Johnson-Thompson

gold for gb in the woat event

Dude just went mental on the bar.

Meares and Pendleton both go one up in the best of three vs the Chinese and German respectively.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Is it just me that thinks that name's really funny?

boris sighting in the velodrome

weee horse dancing gold....thats 20!

Why does Chris Paul like grabbing on guys frank and beans so much? Never had much respect for the guy since what he clearly did to Julius Hodge, that's just not something a MAN does.

The other one is quite beautiful imo. Cant remember her name.

trott in the omnium scratch race, her position relative to the yank prolly decides gold

I'm oddly entranced by these dancing horses. I think its confusing the **** out of me.

cliffs on wtf is going on in scratch race?

It's just a straightforward race afaik. 1st over the line wins etc. No random points for sprints or anything.

If they're going to have horses at the Olympics, why don't they just have horse racing? It was the main event at the Ancient Olympics.

bring back chariots ldo

Obviously. That would be the sickest event.

I think that each country should have a men's team and a women's team each consisting of 12-15 members. They all have to compete in every event. This would make selecting your team members that much more strategic because now you have to select the best athletes. Sure Michael Phelps gets on because we need to dominate swimming, and perhaps he brings something to the decathalon or other events as well. I suppose half the basketball team would make it. Throw in Tebow because he is a superior athlete, and now we have something fun to watch. I'd love to watch Usain Bolt streaking down the field in soccer, or Tyson Chandler spiking a volleyball in someones face. Who would you have on your team?

Discuss.

blew it

****

the mass burial for all the dead athletes could replace the closing ceremony

So American has to finish no more than one place behind Trott to win. Any idea what happens if it's a draw?
