00000-The Definitive London 2012 Olympics Thread-00000

[Zeeshan]

Mad respect to Oscar even after not making to the finals.

And echoing turbo-da regarding Nadia.



Btw, I am tired of non-neutral, All-American bandwagonish of broadcast where they edit out "irrelevant" parts. Shame.

Lame...but I laughed all the same...

Horse walks into a bar.

Barman: 'Why the long face?'
Horse: 'I came first in the Olympics and they gave the medal to the twat on my back"

Suddenly 18 gold medals for the hosts. Good going GB! Great 400m win from Kirani James as Grenada wins a gold.

I saw that Kirani James's 400M run he is only 19. Current WR holder Michael Johnson was at BBC studio and thinks this kid will break his record.

[Sohel]

^He is quite something for sure. Definitely has the potential to dominate the event for years to come MashAllah.

Gold # 21 - Well done Laura Trott in the Velodrome. Team GB rocks!!

[AsifTheManRahman]

FAIL: Australia

[Roni_uk]

[Roni_uk]

GOLD # 22 - Sir Chris Hoye's 6th Gold Medal

[AsifTheManRahman]

Can GB topple the US? Far shot I daresay!

[Zeeshan]

Y'all...stop saying GB. Makes it look like you are expecting something big from GopalB. Keep your expectations low. :p

[Roni_uk]

^^ we already have by population: GB # 12'; USA # 40

For the official tally - not possibly. GB has 4 boxers in the semis, both men and women hockey team in the semi, Tom Daley in diving final, Mo Farah in the 5K and thats about it. Including Tom D, Mo, we will possibly get 3/4 more golds.... not enough to topple USA. In fact the difference will become larger, given that they have beach volleyball, basketball, volleyball etc to win medals in.

Its a shame, we lost few easy golds in few events, including Victoria Pendleton in cycling but its never easy, is it!

What a knock by Jamaica......

[Maysun]

Jamaica 1-2-3.

No doubting about Usain Bolt's talent. But I feel this Olympic has revealed Yohan Blake to the world. What a great sprinter, playing at the wrong time.

[Roni_uk]

Bolt is so predictable :P

25 GOLD for Team GB - 3 today; hopefully at least 2 more to come - Tom Daley - Diving; Mo Farah - 5K.

LONDON — Pointing the baton at the clock showing the world-record time of 40.82 seconds, Carmelita Jeter anchored the United States on Friday night to its first Olympic gold medal in the women's 4x100-meter relay since 1996.

Tianna Madison, 200-meter champion Allyson Felix and Bianca Knight gave the U.S. a big lead heading into the anchor leg by Jeter, who already owned a silver medal from the 100 and a bronze from the 200 in London.

Their final time cut more than a half-second off the old record of 41.37 run by East Germany in 1985.
