London 2012 Olympics

[livvy145]

What a fight from Adams.

First women's Olympic boxing champion

 

[livvy145]

Katie Taylor won gold for Ireland in the boxing too, very close bout. Great atmosphere in the arena for both bouts.

 

[Jack D Rips]

Well done Katie

 

[Modo]

Come on Australia!!!!

 

[Athens]

They were about to show Katie Taylor being awarded her gold medal and they cut to synchronised swimming. Bloody Greeks!

 

[nealmac]

Delighted for Katie. Tough fight for her. Couldn't call it at the end.

I think the 3 lads are all in action tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Portly]

I had a tenner on the Russian girl at 11/2.

It was one of those bets that when you lose, you still think it wasn't a bad bet!

David Rudisha has just broken his own world record in the 800m final.

1.40.91

Absolutely astounding running.

He ran the first lap like a pace-maker on the Grand Prix circuit - 49 seconds !!!

[Athens]

Jamaica won more medals in one race than what most nations win in the entire Olympics.

An amazing run. Britain's Andrew Osagie came 8th & last but

• His time of 1:43.77 is a world record for the eighth-placed finisher in an Olympic 800m final
• It would have won him the gold medal at the last three Olympics
• Now fourth-fastest Briton over 800m behind Sebastian Coe, Steve Cram and Peter Elliott

 

[Ryan]

That Scouse lad was utterly robbed in the boxing last night.

I wouldn't worry, there'll be an e-petition asking the IOC to apologise soon enough.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This sailing on now is one of the most boring things I've ever seen in sport. Complete shite.

 

[Bradley]

Yeah, the Olympics is really winding down now.

I'll miss them.

 

[livvy145]

Barnes lost his semi, so close though.

Nevin wins his

 

[nealmac]

Horrible to lose it like that. Delighted for Nevin though. Conlon tonight should be a good fight too.

We also have a team in the womens 4x400m relay semi final tonight. Didn't even know about it until this morning.

 

[Rosco]

Didn't like Nevin's show boating in the last minute, but he's a talented little fucker.

Just like all John Joe's really

 

[Rosco]

I see Carl Lewis is stating the obvious re Jamaican sprinters.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Didn't like Nevin's show boating in the last minute, but he's a talented little fucker.

He'll have his medal melted down for cash before he gets home.

 

[nealmac]

Yeah, I didn't like that either. He swung a punch right after it and missed. Made a complete tit of himself. Then it was all forgotten when he won.

I still can't see how he won the last round.

 

[Modo]

Sweden made it to the final in handball!!! First time since 2002.

 

[nealmac]

No joy for Conlon. It was always gonna be a tough one, but fuck, he was well beaten in the end.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This women's mountain biking is boss.

I'm cheering this lass on. Didn't think that'd happen.

I think I like these events cos they're ones we can identify with, everyone's been on a bmx or mountain bike & most have done some small jumps on bmx (edge lane skatey park before they fucked it off, cunts) or those great mountain bike runs in Wales.

 

[Squiggles]

That and the fact that they crash quite a lot.

 

[Hyena]

Netherlands takes the Womens Hockey gold.

Germany v Netherlands Mens later. Should be good.
