Lol, Brasil is actually topping the medal charts, if only because it starts with a B

Let's all enjoy that, it'll last not even 5 minutes!


Heh, I'm more impressed by the fact that Serbia has a medal already O.o

Korea out - great shooting for USA



Men's beach volleyball...eww



Opening ceremony was late, didn't even noticed those supposed "pixels". Very random jumps between kids, building the stage, industrial revolution (no kids here), NHS (wtf?), music (no Oasis?), mourning (for whom - everyone?), parade (yeah!!!) and very standard lighting of the Olympic flame that while nice feels too small (can it even be seen from the outside??).

The Mourning is for the people who died during the 7/7 bombings, which occured the day after London won the bid for the games. 

 

And the Olympic flame was awesome! Each petal representing a country, with strips of paper representing the 7billion in the world...it was nice!

 

The Maritians are getting a thrashing in the Women's Beach Volleyball...now clear your mind of that thought.

I would update the medals table, but I'll wait until after the swimming now I feel! Anyway, there's been 6 medal events, and 2 of them have gone to China. Brazil are not in the lead now, Vic!

So what tickets have you guys got?

I've got 4 sets: Shooting @ Woolwich tomorrow, Weightlifting @ ExCel on Tuesday, Football @ Wembley on Saturday and Paralympic Athletics @ Stratford in Early September. I'm also a volunteer at Heathrow Terminal 1 (where I won the shooting and weightlifting tickets as well).




Archery is surprisingly entertaining to watch!



I have tickets for the Men's Hocker perlims on wednesday and a day ticket for the paraOlympics



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Tell me about it, haven't switched since the cycling stopped.

Hope USA win
