London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

Re: Official London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

It's a joke my taxes helped pay to build the stadium and bring the games over. Yet to watch an event I'd have to pay another £40 to get a decent seat! Still because I'm north of London, we get like 8events....early stage events at that. So to watch I dunno the 100m final it would cost like £40 to get in plus the extra £100 travel and fuck knows how much with inflated hotel prices. I wish we never got them..

But hey I'm off to see Mexico v Korea then gabbon v someone later that afternoon and hopeful Spain v whoever they face.

Re: Official London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

I expect our swimming team to go great guns, with Steph Rice, Eamon Sullivan, james Magnussen etc alls wimming very well and our relay teams being in great form. Our athletics squad, lol, we'd only have a legit chance at long jump or the pole vault, and well that Sally Pearson (i think that's her name) chick might have a shot at bronze in the hurdles.

I'm looking forward to the football, hockey, swimming and track&field events, and I'll try to catch some of the basketball and other sports on offer.

Re: Official London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

Pretty pumped for Basketball. It'll probably be on at a bullshit hour over here, but it'll be worth it. At least it won't be like the Beijing Olympics where it was on at like 7 AM.

I loved the Olympics when it was here in Sydney. Saw a few games of basketball, and some track and field with my family and then we got to go see some paralympics with my school which was cool.

That would suck. Where did you heard this? But that is the only thing he has not won yet. It would be nice to see him win it.

Re: Official London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

He's won the gold in doubles, but singles is what e's after obviously.

I heard it a while ago from various sources but I think he changed his mind.

Re: Official London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

My girl Katie Taylor to do the business and bring home gold in the womens boxing. Great person, great story just in need now of a Hollywood-style ending.

Re: Official London 2012 Summer Olympics Thread

Men's Basketball will be interesting. A good opportunity for Greece to win Gold.

Got a ticket for the Semi-Finals of the men's football at Old Trafford on August 7'th, so going to make a day of that by going to the Football Museum that opens later this month

Did have 2 tickets to the Boxing aswell but they were in London and were on a Friday and a Sunday and I just couldn't afford the accomadation for it so I sold those tickets

But looking foward to all the events to be honest, really excited to see how the Olympic Stadium will look when it's compleltly packed out
