The London Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games - General

Hahaha, he left his mic on. I can hear him during the adverts

We got swimming going on now or not its nbc and its another tape delay!

NBC tape delays almost everything for the Olympics

Watching the womens soccer game, Canada vs South Africa

I can't wait for Nintendo to put up 3d video snippets of the Olympics on the 3ds video app

The road race was brilliant, Vinokouroff(Kazakhstan) and Uran Uran(Columbia) we working together for the last 8km or so, then just near the finish Uran Uran decides to look back to see how far ahead of the chasing group he was, then Vinokouroff took it as his chance to attack and sprinted to the finish. Was such a good win, and race. what a legend

This Olympic Cycling race was so much more exciting than that dull Tour de France. The lack of lame team orders and in ear communication created a great race to watch. Vinokourov really deserved the win, especially since it's the last race of his career. Feel sad for Cancellara though who appears to have broken his collarbone once again. Means he can't participate in the time trials in which he was one of the favorites.

Lol all of the gold medals are gold plated silver medals (the silver medals are solid silver)

[QUOTE=rosthouse;36976018]Especially after Vinokurov retired last year, after his crash. Guy's a winner.[/QUOTE] He should have won the olympic race 12 years ago but due to shitty team orders they let Ulrich win it. Nice to see Vino finally getting what he deserves in the last race of his career.

[QUOTE=rosthouse;36976018] I hope they can fix him up for that again.[/QUOTE] I really hope that too but have you seen him cry in the arms of his coach after he finished the race? I think he knows he broke his collarbone again and can't participate on Wednesday.

anyone know why eurosport is still showing gymnastics, when it says it's weightlifting for women?

is nobody using the red button to watch things? it's the smoothest thing ever.

Just a question I wanna ask but did anyone remember seeing Michael Phelps win his 8th gold medal last Olympics live? Very historical moment and I was glad to have seen it on live tv.

can someone post stream>??

So uhhh, is the only way to watch the opening ceremony again from "third party" sources?

Federer won against Falla a few mins ago. I don't know if Federer really misses anymore or if it's intentional so that we can see an interesting match when he plays.

Can't wait for the swim heats to come on. I need to see the monster seamen.

are they streaming the events in hd? i want to watch track cycling but the indoor aerial i set up for the TDF is getting shit reception

Just got back from sitting on Box Hill watching the road race. If you saw a bunch of weirdos in union flag ponchos then I was one of them.

Godammit I fucking missed the opening ceremony. And somehow, it didn't had the hype of the Beijing Olympics. I'm not the only one to feel this way, am I right?

[QUOTE=meppers;36976039]Lol all of the gold medals are gold plated silver medals (the silver medals are solid silver)[/QUOTE] The probably spent too much money that they couldn't afford solid gold.

It doesn't need the hype of the Beijing Olympics. I don't think England has ever really been that flashy historically, it's more of a "Get down and just do shit" kind of country. The same cannot be said for modern day England though.

I feel so shitty that I missed the live video. Will the closing redeem my shitty feeling
