wasn't the end of the races invented by a finn ?

you on crack?

The Olympics start about 10 days into it when the track and field starts. The rest is just rubbish stuff like ping pong, shooting, archery and equestrian events.

Wtf?? You've got boxing and Oly weightlifting, they both make athletics look boring and mundane

The wrestling event could have been great.

Kurt Angle was going to try out but sadly got injured. He's the greatest wrestler ever IMO and would have really got me interested.

Can't quite remember, but think it had something to do with his dodgy neck.

That's about 120kg's and she's a chick, ok a fat chick but still a chick, you couldn't do that ;-)

Finners is proper mental. I love him

 

[ricardobee]

they've managed to upset every musician I know by demanding that all music be provided free of charge. I expect that no muso in their right mind will agree and they'll be left with school orchestras to represent the british music scene to the world. Apparently we should be glad of the "exposure".

you can't eat exposure.

Pretty gutted there's no baseball this year. Would've definitely gone to a few games if it was on and would've been a great chance to increase exposure in the UK. Rubbish!

In better news found out I'll be seeing the GB men's handball team play which is pretty cool.

"I have to figure out what I did wrong..."

As if he cares.

As long as he is in his prime, Usain Bolt will never be beaten at a World Championships/Olympics (barring false starts).

 

[Elong]

He's having problems getting out of the blocks, which he has always been slow at.

One thing's for sure, there's a lot of competition in the 100m this year, it really could be an amazing final.

Yeh, i reckon he'l turn it on come the Games

 

[The T-Dex]

Interesting though, an upset would be great, especially for at Bolt's expense, he is very arrogant.
