2012 Olympics

[Master]

I think Bolt will be beaten by his Jamaican colleague.

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?

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.

Javier Culson is great. But I think recent form and home advantage will get Dai Greene home in that one.

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.

Hopefully they'll both be in the final heat. If Javier makes it, I'm pretty sure the final will be watched very intently here in P.R. I haven't heard much about our boxing team, and neither of the basketball teams (men's or ladies') qualified for the Games.... so Javier will be our best bet for a medal.

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.

On virgin noticed they have another 20 channels devoted to the Olympics on HD.

I think the red lanes purely for olympic traffic would piss me right off... there are some postcodes that will not be able to get any mail during the whole length of the games.

They always sell it bigtime stating how great it is for the economy of the host country... where was it last time errm oh yeah, Greece nuff said.

Who the hell would hold an Olympics in Greece?

The last time I watched the Olympics seriously was the time of Nadia Comaneci; yup, when most of you kids here were still lovely angels somehwere out there. Very choppy coverage of Olympics here so can't watch much of it, exept boxing and basketball, the favorites here.
