Pretty sure it's all mind games. Bolt likes to get into competitors' heads hehe.

I voted no. if anything,I'll just watch the highlights on espn to see how many medals the U.S. won.

Really looking forward to the opening ceremony later! I've been lucky enough to walk around the Olympic park in several occasions and go to the world diving championships in the aquatic centre and it's looking excellent. I'm sure it will be a good show.

Boo! Watch the BBC's coverage or just come to the thread! The medals table will be in post 2, and the day's results in post 1!

Nice! Have you been in the Velodrome by any chance? Now that's a nice building!

And the Basketball centre as well. It's huge for a temporary building!

Hmm... that could be very interesting. Too bad many people don't have 3D TV's. >_>

hey! man i love olympic games! and i almost care about every freaking competiton except softball (is that a competition this time?) and heel-and-toe walking.

and what i always think: swim competitions are way too much (not for very long distance swimmers). as good swimmer you can win plenty of medals. as good tennis player,  jumper or boxer you can win not so much^^. they should take out one distance and maybe one stroke.

We're just 3 and a half hours away from the ceremony, but 90 minutes away from the start of celebrations!

Bloody hell chaps I am so excited. Ready for all the Gold, Silver and Bronze and the constant playing of the , "star spangled banner." My biggest hope is Russia and China flop. To the rest of you all good luck and enjoy.

We need a lot of women's volleyball talk because it is the hottest olympic sport Oh yeeaaahh!!!!!!!!!!!

You spelled God Save the Queen incorrectly.
