2012 Olympics

[TitoFan]

Oddly I haven't read much in the forum about the Olympics, which start in a little over a week. Even more odd considering this is mostly a British forum. I suppose everyone's pretty excited over the upcoming event, and probably more than a few will be attending sporting events live. I will definitely be watching as much of the coverage as possible on TV, as I usually do.

I don't like all sporting events equally, but will usually watch whatever is available at the time I'm also available to watch. Puerto Rico has not done very well at in the summer Olympics, but this year we have our hopes set on 400-meter hurdler Javier Culson, who hopefully can bring us our first gold medal at one of these games.

Regardless, I plan to thoroughly enjoy these games... and look forward to more than a few record performances and memorable moments.

I think Bolt will be beaten by his Jamaican colleague.

I look forward to the Boxing, maybe catch some of the Men's Gymnastics.
The rest is garbage.
100m final, but that is like 10 minutes including build-up ect, interviews
Roman-Wrestling might watch that see what it is about.

The amount of money they spent on the London Olympics they could of went to the Moon. (probably)

Will not be watching the GB football, team mens or womens
Horses- not racing
Judo- Nope
Basketball-nope
Shooting-What?
Archery, Canoeing Meh
Mountain biking and BMX- What
Weightlifting- Rather watch Strongman, or Snooker and Darts
Tennis- Did we not just have Wimbledon
Sailing, handball, synchronised swimming Snooze

I love watching the weightlifting. The tiny dudes especially, insane.

cant see any track records tumbling. Not in wellingtons anyway.

fucking shithole country with no climate.

[Mark TKO]

If you're not arsed about the Olympics then I hope you didn't watch our joke of a football team in the euros...

Not even boxing? weightlifting?

I heard a guy on the radio saying this the other day (I don't follow athletics just watch the championships).

Are you an athletics fan?

Do you think Blake could beat him in the 100 and 200? (betting oppotunities )

Apparently Bolt wasnt 100% for the Trials, yet now is Blake has the best chance of anyone to take Bolts crown in both events. The only person that can beat Bolt is himself. If he's on top of his game I dont see anyone beating him, but Blake will certainly run him close I have no doubts about that!

If anyone will beat Bolt it is Blake as he has beaten him over the 2 events for the trails. Bolt may have eased up and will try harder but an upset could happen. Even I was thinking of betting for Blake. What are the odds? And how much would I get if he does win on £50?

[Master]

What channel is the womens beach volleyball on?

[Beanz]

Who the hell would hold an Olympics in Greece?

Don't touch Blake Fenster. Unless you are banking on false starts. Bolt is highly likely to return to form.

You might find some value in Holly Bleasdale for Pole Vault.
And Greg Rutherford for a medal.
Robbie Grabarz to medal in High Jump.

If you lay, I would lay Ennis (hahaha, I mean it), and I would lay Mo Farah for the 10k.

Not sure where they will put the over/under winning time for the 100m (men) but I would back heavily the under all the way down to 0.05.

As mentioned previously, I would back Greene to beat Culson in 400m hurdles but that is likely to be very tight.

Thanks. I'll check some of these out.

@Master - he's generally around 6/4, so you'll get back £125 for your £50.

I got some Q/F boxing tickets today from the Spanish resellers.
60 Euros.
Still some available.
