I guess they got jinxed by those throwback uniforms.



I do not know why there are two Olympic game threads, but I am going to hit a bong in honor of more goldby Micheal Phelps.  

Seriously though, I am really excited to see this man again and woman's gymnastics. 


Just found out that I have booked to do something on the 11th August and as a result will miss two of the events I am most looking forward to. The diving 10m individual and the men's football final. Dam.

At least that will encourage me to make the most of the other events.

This guy is going to be a force for a few more olympics in my opinion. He was just made for swimming. It is not really hard on your body to be a swimmer either, so he is not going to have to worry about age being a problem later on. Conegamer mentioned that he has more swimming medals than most countries do. I do not know if he can do anywhere near what he did last time around, but he should still pick up most of the medals. He has a lot to prove after his Pot situation, and a lot of sponsors to win back.

 

There is another one, because Conegamer things ( rightfully so) that a British user should be in charge of a British event. The Olympics being there brings a lot of pride to the U.K.


I bet considering his entire life is devoted to swimming and almost nothing else Phelps will be able to surge for a long time. I watched all his swimming events at the last summer games and it was just shocking to see him get gold in every event. So inspiring. They do say his body is perfectly shaped for swimming as a human. Oh the pot situation was good shows he is human.

Oh and I am more interested in your thread as it would be more American/ North American Centric for basketball and others. And after looking at the two threads this one seems more intersetin already. The other one had tons of Ninpie spamming.

Moutainbiking, BMX, some road cycling, watch some of the UK in HD.
Diving and some beach volleybal probably.



Spurg and I have discussed this, and we both have reached an agreement that the linked thread should be the main one. I'm still building it, they'll be more Us/other countries stuff included soon, so keep an eye out on that!

Any suggestions, just post them in that thread and I'll try and answer them, but yeah, please post in the linked thread!

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Shoot, I forget about a lot of events like BMX and Mountain biking. This year I bet I will have to stream a lot of events live to see them. HD is good and all, but I prefer freedom in choice in what I watch so streaming is a good option. I know the main olympic site streamed hockey for the winter so hopefully there are some good live streams even in HD.



Spain lose their first game in the football. Japan played a create counter attacking game which cut out Spain's possession tactics.



Hmm, pie.

lulz, Ryan you let aBrit kid get the gold Olympic gold thread. And yours barely qualified. Way to fail your country.
