London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics - General discussion

[Matty]

Did anyone hear of the American 4X400m relay runner who broke his leg 200m into his run and ran the rest mainly on 1 leg?

He said the first thought that came into his head when he felt it brake was to continue so not to let his team down. He ran a 46.XX too, they also qualified 2nd with a Season Best.

Loved that segment on genes. 82 people have run sub 10seconds in the 100m, 81 were black.

A lot is said of the "Olympic Spirit", that is the best display of it I would say, incredible.

200m prediction - Bolt first followed by Blake then Weir, all Jamaican podium.

 

[CAM]

What a goal by Lloyd, into the side netting.

 

[Matty]

Jamaica 1, 2, 3 in the 200m.

Tyrell should have put his life savings on it

 

[MUSC4EVER]

[Dennisch]

Hockey is now 5-1.

Excellent job by all three runners. Weir is only around 19, if I'm not mistaken. Great job by him.

[CAM]

Epic fail of a goal, nice pass by Sawa though..

 

[Dennisch]

Great Britain is getting their asses handed out to them.
That doesn't sound right.

Great Britain is being slapped around by the Netherlands.
That's better.

7-1.

If they win, Netherlands are in with a chance of finishing within a third of our total medals.

Oh yeah, the number of medals Britain got in the Velodrome compared to Holland.
