I sadly missed out on tickets I wanted. And events left are all ones I don't want to goto (although football bronze might be an option if I had anyone to go with, alas I do not).

I am relegated to watching on TV but I will enjoy every minute of it, love me a bit of sport watching.



Hmm, pie.

I love the Olympics so much, however I'm more of a winter Olympic kinda person.

Anyone in the South East of England planning on going to see the free events, like road cycling and road races?

I plan to see the road cycling race on Sat or Monday? (I think it is on Saturday and Monday, need to check)


they said they expect a million people lining the streets for the road race for cavendish and stuff,especially after wiggins win in the tour de france,that i can believe,if i still lived in london i'd defo go out and see that sort of stuff


1m people is a lot if the forecast turn out to be true. Just found out one of my friend's flat overlook part of the road race course (or so he says), so a few of us friends are currently negotiating terms (probably depends on his wife saying it's OK for us to turn up, though he makes out it's his call) to spend some time there to see the race. 

Actually just found out it's on so happy days.

that sounds good,i expect alot of people will be doing this kind of thing having a few drinks,something to eat etc,the olympics is a festival of sport after all and if its rolling past your flat all the better,the brits do like sport after all and i think thats what will be great about it,peopel will go and watch the events live,

yeah 1million,lol the media do liek to exaggerate things but cycling is pretty fashionable at the mo and those brit riders are pretty good,it won't be far off



It's a lot, but Wiggins won the Tour, and cycling's never been bigger, and it's the first medal event... TBH I think it's too low...

Gotta love the BBC for things like this, uninterrupted coverage and nearly all sports on TV or internet.

Yes, this is what the BBC does best, Sky can shove their shit up their arse.

I quite like the Sky F1 coverage, but the BBC really nails this stuff...

Anyway, it's half time in the first event, and so far it's been all Team GB. They've had the chances, but have yet to capitalise. Will they do more in the second half?

@MBP- It's not the most exciting thing ever, and it's certainly no beach volleyball

I dunno. They don't sprint as much as the men, and don't seem as confident. But is it just first game nerves? And that stadium is absolutely empty. Behind the net, there's just no-one there at all...
