Nearly had to pick my jaw off the floor seeing a Team GB boxer winning a match, the judging in this Olympics has been fucking terrible.

I haven't the faintest idea what's going on at the Olympics, for the most part, but I'm getting a real kick out of reading this thread each day. (It's Eurovision all over again!)

I just love the Olympics. It's like the staying in the world's best all-inclusive. Just sample everything and it's all great.

Avoid the baskét-ball, all one hears is the squeaking of foot mice

Pretty much zero chance that the Chinese swimming gold wasn’t bent there. Although somehow I missed the Jade Jones scandal / story which doesn’t look good at all.

It was only when they showed a reverse angle that I fully appreciated how difficult it actually is. Same here, that must be a 100m range and they need to arc the shot. Crazy It's not that hard. Bloke at Centre Parcs said I should turn professional. |

And he didn’t mean selling blow jobs? Also blowjobs. And foxy boxing for some reason. |

Nearly had to pick my jaw off the floor seeing a Team GB boxer winning a match, the judging in this Olympics has been fucking terrible. And yet maybe an improvement over recent years. |

Anyone who missed the BMX go watch it on iPlayer. Worth 15mins of anyone’s times! Incredible!

You guys have been missing out, you should have been watching www.xgames.com/ for the past 15 years  Ooo. There's one in Chiba in September. Didn't know that. Bet it's sold out already... |

Today was the first time I realised that they are kneeling inside the canoe not sitting. Kneel in a canoe (one-ended paddle), sit in a kayak (double-ended paddle).

Have we discussed Yusuf Dikec in the 10m air pistol?
Everyone else with fancy eye gear and ear protection, Dikec, 51 years old with grey hair, just turns up in a slightly crumpled shirt and no fancy eye/ear wear, shoots with one hand in his pocket and wins silver for Turkey.

Amazing result for them. Had to settle with watching the 500m split times update on my phone which isn't quite the same as watching the race. Mind you, waiting for those times to update is exciting in its own way. A new crew to achieve that sort of synchronicity and balance requried to row at that level, in such a short time, is incredibly impressive.

Just fell short there. Seemed to go a bit too soon.
As for updates via phone, no different to watching football matches via ceefax! Did that loads.
