What's PC about it?

That black people are good at athletics?

It's the truth, so why shy away from it?

My only issue is with the notion that a Kenyan shouldn't be allowed to compete for Antartica because he wasnt born there.

its all coming up again avey, we have a guy leading the long jump who jumped for jamaica a few years ago.


If you have represented another country already you should not be able to change

I just don't see why that is; if he's a citizen of a country he should be allowed to represent that country.

By all means, place some restrictions tho.

fair enough we will agree to disagree, his jamaican accent in the interview was hilarious.

Christine (no attempt at surname) was amazing in the 400m, I love it when they come back from behind like that

the only advantage they found in the white boxers is that they are better at maintaining maximum strength and endurance rather than bursts hence why whites are better at sports like weightlifting apparently.

Asians share that advantage

What sports are asians good at? Ping pong?

Is anyone actually watching the Olympics?
[/quote]

loving it, loads of people I know are in to it. REally enjoyed the cycling and track & field as usual.

Rowing was quite exciting as well, not a big fan of swimming

Gymnastics is always impressive

It is going to be huge in 2012, good I say

Be good if Great Britain won some medals in a sport anyone actually gave a fuck about.

I have been enjoying the olympics, the rowing and cycling this morning was amazing, table tennis is always good to watch and I am always impressed with the gymnastics.

It's a shame it had to come to this. I'm not saying the referee was wrong, but if he had just been a little more lenient (he was already getting up when the buzzer rang), it wouldn't have to come to this. If he wanted to be that strict, a simple warning at the start or sometime during the one minute interval would have prevented this as well.
 
Now that London 2012 Olympic tickets are officilaly on sale has anyone applied?

I've just applied for tickets to watch the womens beach volleyball and some football at Old Trafford but mainly the womens beach volleyball.
