The Olympics thread

[pusbccfc]

So...
Who's going, what events.

Not fussed or very excited?

Got my tickets for the football on Thursday, not the most exciting Belarus v New Zealand! Excited though being part of the Olympics!

Don't really like the Olympics much.

Boring 'sports' that hold no interest for me:

Running fast.
Running fast over sticks.
Running long distances.
Jumping over the stick.
Jumping as far as you can (with optional 'skipping and hopping').
Throwing the spear/big marble/plate as far as you can.
Fighting with gloves on.
Swimming as fast as you can.
Shooting the arrows.
Lifting heavy things.

Though I did enjoy Brazil's performance against GB last night.

If it was up to me the Ricoh would have been renamed the "Jimmy Hill Stadium" for the duration of the games (and forever afterwards for that matter).

The Olympics is the epitome and possibly origin of real sport. Faster! Higher! Stronger! It's also a Daft Punk song.
