The Official 2012 London Olympics Backlash Thread

[Kajak]



Since I've read that my eyes have been opened to how asinine and stupid most of the questions (and answers) are during interviews like that.

Adam van Koeverden said in a pre-olympics media spot "I'm not going to say something dumb like I'm going for gold because I'm racing. Obviously the point of racing is to win."

Which he will

Got a little chill watching Oscar Pistorius advance. What a stud.

Just saw that - hell of a thing.

I'm sure NBC will cover it with a 30 minute mini-documentary on Carl Lewis.

I'm a Federer fan, but I'm kinda rooting for Murray tomorrow. His post-Wimbledon final speech was so heartfelt.

South Central Represent.

lol. She basically humiliated Sharapova in that match.

 

[Ambulance Chaser]

Maria looked like she was about to cry during the second set.

I chuckled when one of the commentators said something to the effect of this victory marking Serena as "one of the greatest." She already is the greatest female tennis player of all time, no question.

Did anyone see the 94 kg weightlifting finals? The Kazakh guy set a world record in the C & J and didn't even look like he was struggling. 512 lbs, Jesus Christ.

 

[munchausen]

Holy **** at the women's 100 meter finale.

I just caught the tail end of the indoor cycling, some sort of 1 on 1 duels, it was exciting as hell.

Hope they show more of that.

I spit my drink out at this. Well done sir.

I really hope he medals. ****, I think he might actually be able to win. He almost caught the Dominican kid.

 

[LawrenceMD]

I want to see Murray do the Crypt Walk/Dance if he wins the Gold Medal in Wimbeldon.

i hope i didn't jinx it..

 

[pseudonym]

I lol'd at Serena c-walking. Oh man, haha.

Rooting a bit for Murray. Hope he finally gets something on home turf.
