Otherwise all the sports are pretty cool to watch, personally I don't get into sailing and the horse stuff.

Neither do I but I find the moment it comes on during Olympic times, I am hooked! The commentators have a way of telling stories to make it seem exciting.

I'm enjoying the atmosphere and sense of anticipation in the build up to the games, and will make the most of the TV coverage when the games begin. Its hard not to get caught up in it, which is why I've got a bit of the promotional sportswear and I will cheering on my favourite athletes in my favourites sports (the top two of which are both olympic events) in addition to others I generally don't see on other occasions.

Also have tickets to one event, so I'm really looking forward to that. 

Come on Daley, Giggs, Murray, Watson, Robson, Bellamy, Ramsey, Hoy, Wiggins and all the others who haven't been in the media spotlight.

Still find unusually that a country as relatively small geogrphical and population-wise in comparison to other countries has managed to send the most atheltes of any team. And that Great Britain doesn't compete as the United Kingdom. Almost sounds like they're deliberately excluding Northern Ireland.



Oh, I forgot to mention: The BBC has 24 HD channels for the Olympics (crazy!), and I'm looking forward to the cycling the most, if you couldn't tell in the OP!

Hopefully they'll be more issues with the security...I doubt it.

I'm assuming thats on the red button, unless they decided to create 20 new channels just for the games. 

And I hope not. I watched Spooks: Code 9 a few years ago. I do not want the games turning out anything like that.



@SecondWar- I'd imagine so, but does that include BBC 3D? BBC News? Online? I dunno. I'd imagine they'd be a few which pop up, though. And yeah, hopefully there won't be anything which goes wrong, but looking at ZombiU and Doctor Who as well, things seem to be pointing towards something ;)

And they have some cray cray HD cables that output cray cray resolution picture. London is really going all out.



Ah cool the illuminati games ;)



 

Cray Cray? YOU Cray Cray NinPie

And I've just checked. Anyone here with Sky, head to 450. All the way up to 497 are olympic channels O.o

And yes, London IS going all out, but I'm still holding on for an opening ceremony which is just Boris Johnson monolouging

Hey! Cray Cray is a good thing this time!



Seriously? It's CRAZY, I want to smack Kanye West for popularising that bullshit!

on topic, Sky has given the BBC access to 24 extra digital channels. I'm hoping the BBC will be streaming said channels on its Sports App so I can watch it on my ps3.
