The Discussion thread for anything about London 2012.

Starting question, Who do you guys think are going to win the Olympics?​

Holy shit, Raonic and Tsonga are in a fucking classic right now. Tied in the third set at 18-18.

enjoyed the women's marathon this morning. Greatly enjoyed watching the Kenyan women perform, running that sort of distance clearly isn't the big deal for them that it is for a lot of people.

Roll on the men's next week. Hopefully Team GB has a bit more of a presence in that one.

Usian Bolt tonight!

Considering the size of our country and the lack of money we pump into the sports, I'd say we are doing quite well.

Lack of money? Dude, we've done nothing but pour money into sport these last 10 years :

Not compared to what America invest. They also spent a lot of school time doing sports which we don't really do at all.

Usain Bolt wins 200M earlier with Yohan Blake finishing 2nd.

You'll be hearing that again.

Usain Bolt is your fucking messiah.

Really interested in what the hell is going on in those Jamaican training camps right, cause holy shit they're destroying everyone at short distance.

Jamaica is like the size of CT yet they some how produce such quick runners, It's unbelievable.

Jamaica is a place where there's not much to do.... probably the only sports they have on the island are Soccer and every sport in Track and Field. Unlike Puerto Rico which has a lot of sports and still.... only 6 Olympic medals, none of gold and only one in a sport that isn't boxing....... But hey, at least Culson brought us a medal (first since 1996)
