I managed to get tickets for the Friday evening session (Athletics) - so I thought you guys might enjoy if I share a few of the photos I took. I have a 14.2 MP Camera so the quality is OK but I only have 5X zoom so some of them are a bit blurry.

The Olympic stadium before the start of the session:

The crowd begins to fill up:

Tomlinson of GBR in the long jump heats:

200m Final (heptathlon) start:

After the Womens' 10,000m final, the 3 Ethiopians doing a lap of honour:


P.S. My brother has a slightly better camera so I might add some of his photos if they're good.

Edit: I fucked up the images but if you got to the URL under each spoiler it will take you to the photo.

In the 800 that makes sense, it's a long distance event and the girl is extremely young. I actually swim, I know what I'm talking about, I speak from experience.

Another English footballer doesn't score a penalty..... who would of saw that coming

Best night of the Olympics so far. Ennis to Rutherford to Farah......6 Golds in one days is quite special for our small island. Ennis is fucking gorgeous while Mo Farah is just a fucking legend. Our cycling is just insane. 6 Successive World Records and made the Americans look useless. Also seeing the greatest Olympian of all time take his final bow. Truly inspiration.

The stadium was bloody amazing as well, the sound was incredible.

dam Australia won 6 medals over night and still no gold

Considering she used to only be eleventh in her nation (I believe), and China's history for doping, it would only be natural to at least be suspicious.
And the drug testing isn't always fool proof. Remember that female runner that many were claiming was actually a man? Officials said they were doing tests to determine her gender, and that the results would appear in a matter of weeks. The problem: a gender test only takes a matter of minutes, not weeks.
While not the same as drugs, it does go to show that even the anti-doping agencies can themselves "be doping."
Same with the Chinese female gymnast who was thought to be too young to enter the Beijing Olympics, and proof was found she was, but the Chinese either wiped or changed all her data.

And America has a very clean history there.



Anyway, YESTERDAY WAS AMAZING. Mo Farah, Rutherford and goregeous Jennis were all fantastically brilliant. And so were the cyclists. And the rowers. The moment of the Olympics so far, for me, was the two female lightweight scullers, after crossing the line, one was trying to tell the other they had won. And she finally hears and shouts "WE WON THE OLYMPICS!"

They're so powerful compared to the other female players. The way Serena destroyed Sharapova yesterday in the Women's Singles was really scary. Serena is past 30 now, Sharapova is supposed to be coming into her prime. Completely unplayable on grass.

I saw the last set and her last ace was at 123Mph. That's unreal. They announced they will be back for 2016 in Rio. Only tennis players with 4 gold medals.

Murray has a tennis gold now woo!

That's the only thing he will win at Wimbledon

Psh, only because Nadal wasn't there.

100m semifinals were a nice appetizers, very pumped for the final. We might even have a race where every single one of the eight runners get a time faster than 10s, maybe even a olympic record, who knows, who knows.

Can't wait for this 100m Final. It's gonna be such a close race. New world record for sure.

Yeah, he did great at Wimbledon this ye- oh.

Such a great race. So glad Bolt won, he's such a character and full of legend. If only he had a better start that World Record was his again. Such a close race for the rest, if Powell didn't pull up all the sprinters would have been sub 10 seconds which would have been a first. Pretty insane.

Just putting it out there; I don't think Murray has it in him to win a grand slam
He always shits himself when the pressure gets too much. He only could keep his cool somewhat in the Olympic final because he was already guaranteed a silver medal. Also Federer was knackered after beating Del Potro so that really helped Murray.

At the end of the day, a gold medal for GB is a gold medal for GB, so I can't take much away from that.

I'm not sure Murray will win a Grand Slam either, although this would've helped greatly. More so the victory over Djokovic than the win over Federer.

I don't think Federer was that tired, even after the Del Potro game. It was 4 hours or so on court, but they had two nights' rest. Murray had plenty of mixed doubles game too remember.

oh yeah australia's 2nd gold medal its a come back

this however is a complete joke

Wow. That's pretty poor. The nature of boxing means it usually gets into messes like this. Glad to see the decision was overturned.
