I hope the male hockey team is gonna win the finals, Because that would look pretty nice. Hockey ladies and gents both gold :v:
So the Spice Girls are reuniting for the closing ceremony...
The Mayans tried to warn us, but we didn't listen. The apocolympics is nigh!

Who are these 'Spice Girls' and why are they named after the many seasonings used on the table of feasts?
Oasis said no

Noel said no. Liam was game for a one off performance of Wonderwall and maybe Don't Look Back in Anger with the old band.

Not really interested in any of those but I respect the Spice Girls massive continued success. And the fact they manage and write everything they do. And Wham was pretty good in the day.
I saw the Pet Shop Boys live, they were shite. Jessie J can get lost.
Medal events are done for the day.

dont take my word on this but it gets less coverage so its more likely for it to happen.

They want to go over the past 50 years of british music. There is less to do this time around, few official things like the flame extinguishing and official speeches and then rio's presentation. They got a few hours to fill.
[editline]12th August 2012[/editline]
Modern Pentathlon is still going strong, half way done and guess who is in third?
UK
I bet it would be nice to have that last victory ceremony with you on top.

4 has usually been good at those ads for big events (from what i have seen)
Goddammit it sucks that I have to miss most of it because its fucking 4am in singapore time
The last medal will be given out in ~1h 30m
So far the UK is just off the podium but it looks good so far.
I don't usually watch Basketball but shit this is tense
29 golds now. Awesome
The final event is about to start. After this event is over I am sure the BBC will start broadcasting from the stadium for the closing.
[editline]12th August 2012[/editline]

[QUOTE]The 40-year-old jewelry artist drew inspiration from Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, who has been depicted on the Olympic medal since 2004. The obverse side features an imagined close-up section of Nike’s outstretched wing, symbolizing “flight, power, and lightness.” The reverse side represents “the heart of victory,” with a mold taken from the chest of the The Nike of Paionios (not the fifth-century BC original, which is in Greece, but a plaster cast at the British Museum).[/QUOTE]

BUT HOW DO I WATCH THIS?
Most likely your country is extremely stupid and will not even mention this AT ALL
However the IPC has this all thought out!
Go to [url]www.paralympic.org[/url] and you will be able to watch the events LIVE for FREE along with replays of each event being posted after each event. It will also be on youtube (using their fancy live feature).
Italy its 8th. Meh olympics this year.
Grenada got the most medals per capita.
Congrats to them.
BBC is starting their coverage of the closing ceremony on one for those who are interested.
