Enjoy!

I read that the UK is expected to pick up 4th place in total medals! Even as the Host that would impress the hell out of me. :beer:
We finished 4th in the medals table at Beijing - it's a high target for our team to live up to.Quote:

Stupid branding rules: Wimbledon has got some excellent scoreboards but because they're IBM branded they're covered up and replaced with some tiny hopeless Omega substitutes.
Empty seats! :mad:
Apparently these are the free seats allocated to the various sports organisations in the competing countries (the "Olympic Family" in newsspeak) - enough said.
@OlympicSeat on twitter has plenty to say on the subject ;)

Wrong thread - shouldn't this have been in "TV coverage"?Quote:

I just noticed a flagrant flaunting of the olympic rings symbol(am I allowed to refer to it ?) !
Do they go after all these athletes who get rings tatooes ?
There's a revenue stream they don't seem to be taking advantage of properly .
Nearly at the end of the Olympics now and the traffic has been... non-existent. My commutes have been quicker than normal even allowing for the summer holidays.Quote:

Anyway as for the logistics and organisation everyone I know who's been to an Olympics event has been marvelling at how impressive they've all been, and its not even limited to the Olympics sites as there are volunteers helping out at all the major London tourist sites too. Time to recognise a job excellently done I think.
Don't look now, but y'all boyz are about to get spanked by France. Just one day to go......Governor!Quote:

Don't think we ever expected to beat France on their home turf in the Olympics.
The Paralympics are looking OK though!
