One more medal and we'll be tied for last years record. We're guaranteed a boxing Bronze so it's quite possible. I really wish we can make it 8/10 Golds in the Cycling.

Lololol.

I'm not sure what everyone seems to be moaning about today (not necessarily this forum) we got 2 golds today which again for our country's size is another remarkable feat! But on TV everyone seems to be disappointed that it wasn't as great as it was on 'super saturday'.

Is it just me, or have our expectations skyrocketed?!

OMG, That womens soccer game between usa and canada was amazing! 'Mericans won on a last second goal

Yes this is a re post, but the pictures are actually included this time
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.

Fixed that for you Apostle. You have hit image link, post the url where it asks you to, and then simply hit insert. Don't post the link in the normal post and then insert it via the Image Link button as well.

I can't view most of the pictures though, not sure why. Possibly because they're too big or something..

On-topic: Spain is doing horrendous, still only three medals..

EDIT: I lie, we got a Gold in Women's windsurf and a Silver in Men's Triathlon, 5 now, woop woop.

I must admit china have really impressed me in the olympics...they entered the same athlete in every event

SIR CHRIS HOY, GREATEST MAN ON EARTH.

All hail Alistair and Jonny Brownlee - Gold and Bronze in the Triathlon

One thing I want to address is the BBC , BBC is so biased and a disgrace to Britain claiming a Irish boxer as British and not only that calling Team GB Team England while Scotland and Northern Ireland have gotten medals for them aswell , also in the Mens synchronized diving as soon as they realized GB can't win it the commentators "Alright let's get it over with" .

Football season starts, but honestly i'm not too bothered about it. Rugby is still a way off before beginning.

Maybe we should take up some Olympic sports...

I'm actually super pumped for the start of the football season, about a week or so left!

Spain vs. USA Basketball final right now, everyone go watch it!

I'll take the 100m sprint, thats pretty easy.

im down for some Rhythmic Gymnastics...farting around with a ribbon seems like the sport for me

Spain is down by only one point at halftime, 59-58. Just sayin'

In the improbable situation that Spain ends up winning the game....we'd be better than the oh so amazing dream time? Interesting..

EDIT: End of the 3rd quarter and again, down by one, 83-82.

On paper, USA should be easily beating Span in the Basketball. They're just under performing and the forward for Spain is having a great game.
