Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) When is the mens fast running gonna be on ? looking foreward to Bolt H. Ugh, I can't stand that dude, but whatever floats yer boat, hehe. The Men's 100m heats are today, happening right now actually. Looks like they will be running just about every day from here on out. (I can't believe how easy on the eyes some of these female javelin throwers are, wow!) Edited August 4, 2012 by Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custard~SPARTA~ Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Had tickets for the Stadium today morning session Noise was incredible for the home athletes (and Bolt), they also gave roaring support to non Brits in particular the womens hep long jump and javelin Very dissapointed that Bolt and the other Jamacan eased up so much in there 100 heats, the Americans didn't which is why one of them went sub 10 sec I would have loved to have seen Bolt do that. I will never forget today, my hands are sore and I have only just got my voice back from screaming so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Don't usually watch sports, but I did today and what a day. France vs USA mens doubles Final UK vs Germany Mixed doubles Semi Final Womens Triathlon Womens Team Pursuit Mens Omnium Womens Heptathlon Mens 10,000 meters Mens Long Jump Mens Medley Relay For once I wish I was there, whilst I am disinterested in sport spectating, I loathe crowds. But still both the velodrome this morning and the olympic stadium this evening were memorable. Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I think team GB have done themselves proud, i'm pretty surprised at how well they've done! Alson been impressed by the magnitude of the Guam Judo entrant; the guy is a behemoth! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqtuM2-ijmc (I can't believe how easy on the eyes some of these female javelin throwers are, wow!)

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'll only believe you if you post some pictorial evidence... And here you are posting pics of sumo wrestlers? Ask and ye shall recieve... Latvia's Laura Ikauniece (Heptathlon) Switzerland's Ellen Sprunger (Heptathlon) Canada's Brianne Theisen (Heptathlon) Cze-howeveryouspellit Eliska Klucinova (Heptathlon) Well, I had images of all these, but apparently the board says I 'cant use that image extension on this board" so you'll have to look them up yourselves.

But still both the velodrome this morning and the olympic stadium this evening were memorable. Awesome I've always loved playing sports, but could never hold the attention to watch them. I'll sit down and watch some American college football, but the non-traditional sports like you see in the Olympics has always captured my attention like a mosquito to a bug zapper. I get very little sleep during these events, lol. My favorite track/field events are the long jump, pole vault, and discus. My last two years of high school I decided to try long jump after my attempts at baseball failed. My last (and best) jump was recorded at 17ft, 11in, which is about 5.48 meters, so I could probably compete against one or two women at London, lol. It's actually pretty good for a short white guy with a football player's build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There are some serious Abs in womens Heptathlon, Obviously Team GBs Ennis is a golden girl. Britain has not won the Long Jump in 50 years, correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I was trying desparately to get my sister-in-law (she works for Latvia's Olympic Committee) to get me an autographed photo of Ikauniece, but the wife wouldn't let me talk to her today. Ugh. Wives....always getting in the way lol. We got some cool stuff from Vancouver. Hopefully The summer guys will bring back more. This steeplechase race is pretty interesting so far....

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 30 minutes in and it's 1-0 to Canada. Cagey start with US dominating early exchanges but Canada settled and really deserve their lead. Will put some pics up when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 1-1, soft goal from a corner. Still an even game, could go either way. Canadian number 11 must be the smallest player out there but she's amazing, tremendous work rate. Oh, and their number 6 seems to have escaped from the Timotei ad, photos later. 2-1 to the Canucks, cracking header! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 3-2 Canada, this game is end to end excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 3-3 after 90, going to extra time. Undeserved IMO, should have been a Canada win at 3-2. Will wait to see some replays but bizarre decisions by the ref, almost a 12th player for the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 lol Didn't Scotland have a chance at independence this year and give it up? The Scottish National Party, the ruling local government party, have planned a referendum on independence in 2014. Our PM tried to force a referendum on them this year as he believed it would get a no vote. That failed & the 2014 plan is still on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
