London Olympics 2012

[Garson007]

Not looking good for our athletes. Is there one of them not out of form? Apart from Viljoen? Looking worse than four years ago.

Our swimmers probably have the best shot at winning medals. And obviously Viljoen.

Also hoping LJ van Zyl and Khotso Mokoena hits form before they make the trip to London. Both struggling at present.

I feel for the athletes because support and clarity from ASA are no-existent.

Anyone else enjoying the weightlifting?

Never took much notice of it before, but man, what some of these guys lift and the manner in which they do it -- one of my favourite new sports to watch. Great stuff.

The guy from Kazakhstan, Ilya Ilyin, who won the gold medal (yes they played the right anthem ), what an athlete, breaking the world record in the process and could've easily gone higher.

Really enjoyed watching the badminton, and the trampolines. Waiting for the rhythmic gymnastics.

 

[Creag]

Not enough coverage of the field events for me. Otherwise there have been aspects I have really enjoyed.

In places the commentary had been predictably biassed and clueless. Probably the greatest disappointment of the games so far.

Anyone watch the woman's 100m hurdles? Jamaican had a tantrum. Crying, rolling on floor because she lost.

Thought she fell? Or did the commentators get it wrong / cover for her?

She lost her balance when she hit a hurdle. After the race she threw a hissy fit.

There's a replay on the Supersport website. Quite funny.

 

[Azbubu]

Not seen that. Just saw Stambolova stumbling over.

Is there somewhere on the net where I can watch an event NOT LIVE?
Youtube doesn't seem to be very helpful, i can't find most of what I want, and what I can find is of an horrendous quality, aka videotaping the tv with a shakey, intermittant feed.
