[Novo]

We just finished equal 4th with Sweden in the relay

Females finished 7th in theirs

Think we'd qualified anyway though so doesn't matter

[Novo]

Phelps v Lochte

[MTVN]

[Novo]

**** Lochte gets gold and phelps finishes 4th

[Roy Mars III]

[Saph]

Hannah (montana)
Miley (cyrus)

[Saph]

[GypsyGoth]

I bet she takes drugs.

[Munchkins]

Wow that chinese girl was insane!

[Shaun]

she's only 16 :o

[Saph]

Is this the official race?

[Shaun]

Yeah that was the final of the 400m individual medley (what Lochte won the male version of)

[Black Dagger]

N'aww poor Hannah =(.

And my Granddad was all 'SHE'S ON DRUGS' lmao.

[GypsyGoth]

I don't think pints of milk are popular in japan.

[Shaun]

-is perpetually confused by claudia-

[Novo]

2 chances to be in the final here

[Shaun]

two Brits :amazed: -squeals support-

[GypsyGoth]

-is perpetually confused by claudia-

Oh :laugh: Clare Balding said about some japanese guy that he is too famous to go to a store and buy a pint of milk.

[Saph]

ew that guy is spitting in the water D; I would refuse to swim if I was there..

[Saph]

I saw Clare Balding in Pets At Home once with her girlfriend

[GypsyGoth]

ew that guy is spitting in the water D; I would refuse to swim if I was there..

:laugh2:

[Black Dagger]

GB are never really that amazing in Swimming anyway, I don't even think our Rebecca will do as well as people expect.

But ooh a 3rd place.

[Saph]

sexy guy on the left :love:

[Shaun]

I saw Clare Balding in Pets At Home once with her girlfriend

I'm jealous :( I love her an irrational amount.

[GypsyGoth]

These team races are the best.

[Saph]

I'm jealous :( I love her an irrational amount.

If I ever see her there again i'll get you an autograph :hugesmile:

[Shaun]

[Black Dagger]

Bloody hell. :idc:

[Shaun]

[Saph]

They all have such nice skin

[GypsyGoth]

They all have such nice skin

I think it's cause swimming is like having a long wash.

[Saph]

ooh yeah, I never thought of that :shocked: ..jealous :hmph:

[Shaun]

well tbf GB qualified in 8th so 5th is good :amazed:

[Saph]

Does this guy not know you have to wash one layer of tan off before applying another :conf:

[Jayson]

aw I missed it all :(

[nicole_burks]

Phelps didn't even place :bored:

[Novo]

Siobhan Marie O'Connor here

[Novo]

Rebecca Adlington easily through

[GypsyGoth]

The butterfly looks amazing, I wish I could swim properly.

[Shaun]

wut race is this

[Jayson]

The butterfly looks like what you do when you discover a floater in the pool

[GypsyGoth]

wut race is this

There was a 100 meters womens butterfly, an american won it with a world record. I don't think the gb did that well, but apparently it wasn't her main event, so she seemed happy just to have made the final.

[Shaun]

I meant this one with Renwick and Biedermann :laugh: is it a final or semi? Renwick is third :amazed:

[Shaun]

Oooh a semi, equal third. Pretty good race.

[Jayson]

Semi

Equal third for Renwick

[Shaun]

-hopes for some very slow second semifinalists-

[GypsyGoth]

Sun will win.

[Jayson]

Randomly decided to support Monk in this

[Shaun]

supporting the Korean because his name has Wang in it

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh:

[Jayson]

You always have liked a bit of Wang

[Jayson]

Claudia wins

[Shaun]

Renwick makes it :amazed:

[Jayson]

[Jayson]

Suzuki to win as I used to own a Suzuki

[Novo]

That Lithunian one is going to win

[Jayson]

Suzuki came third

Never were the fastest make

[GypsyGoth]

She was only doing it for 3 years :shocked:

[Jayson]

Jones to win

[GypsyGoth]

Not sure about those duvet type coat they wear.

[GypsyGoth]

That Lithunian one is going to win

She's amazing.

[Jayson]

-the football was boring-

[Jayson]

[Jayson]

wtf is this for?

[Jayson]

ah the flutterby, must have missed it.

[Shaun]

only got HD tv a fortnight ago... I can see every wrinkle this guy has (Mark Hunter is it? the one with Clare Balding)

[Jayson]

How did you last so long without HD, Shaun? You must have been crying yourself to sleep every night

[Black Dagger]

Isn't he called Mark Foster? Shaun, ha.

[Shaun]

[Jayson]

Could be a new WR

[Black Dagger]

-leaves sobbing-

[Shaun]

jesus @ van der Burgh D:

[Jayson]

History. Made.

Although no one really cares.

[GypsyGoth]

I bet he's a racist.

[Shaun]

poor Kitajima didn't even get on the podium :(

[Shaun]

I love seeing their families in the crowds being all THAT'S MY SON XXXX ish

[Jayson]

Kinda glad that someone other than China, Russia, USA or Italy has a gold

[Jayson]

Adlington up next :amazed:

[Shaun]

2 Gold and a Bronze in total :3

[Jayson]

She'll get the gold in the 800m

[Shaun]

she's stronger in 800m apparently, so that'll be the one to watch

[Jayson]

Tanned cock up next :joker:

[Munchkins]

800 is the Event for Rebecca :D
400 isn't her best, so to get Bronze is fantastic

[Shaun]

she's so lovely, I want to hug her :lovedup:

[GypsyGoth]

They should dive in backwards.

[Shaun]

Tancock 2nd :amazed:

[Munchkins]

This is such a furious swim :O

[Jayson]

Wildeboar Farber or whatever his name is to win

[Shaun]

it's amazing how much influence the crowd noise makes on the atmosphere :laugh: -sips tea with this race-

[Munchkins]

So wish i could swim well :(

[Shaun]

Tancock qualifies third :amazed:

[Jayson]

Yeah Shaun, Adlington's race had me on the edge of my seat because of the crowd.

[Novo]

Is Tancock in the final now?

[Jayson]

Every time I hear Chariots of Fire now I think of Mr. Bean :joker:

[GypsyGoth]

Is Tancock in the final now?

Yep, he's the 4th fastest in it I think.

[Munchkins]

Gary Linecker really annoys me, and i can't pin point why ><

[Shaun]

3rd claudia :p

[GypsyGoth]

3rd claudia :p

I was close :laugh:

[Novo]

this should be an interesting race

[Novo]

Missy Franklin.. one of the most American sounding names ever

[GypsyGoth]

Gary Linecker really annoys me, and i can't pin point why ><

He seems a bit out of his depth.

[Jayson]

2 Brits in this one

[Jayson]

Spofforth third, hopefully the next SF is slow

[Shaun]

no point in Georgia Davies trying tbh
bitch

[Novo]

If she would have started better they would have won that

[Shaun]

She has heroin eyes as well :suspect:

-stops bitching about Davies-

[Novo]

Hope this Chinese girl doesn't qualify.. i am sick of seeing them win things lately

[Munchkins]

Aw well done to Spofforth :D

[Shaun]

Coventry with 7 medals :o

[Jayson]

Spofforth through

[GypsyGoth]

Relays :worship:

[Munchkins]

[Munchkins]

Awww Rebecca getting her medal, she is so lovely :)

[Jayson]

[Shaun]

[Novo]

Always a good chance of a shockers in Relays

[GypsyGoth]

Missy Franklin got a gold :worship:

[Jayson]

[Marc]

[GypsyGoth]

[Shaun]

:laugh: I had to take a break earlier, all this sport was stressing me out

[GypsyGoth]

I hope Phelps does well.

[Jayson]

I think making the final was an achievement. And she didn't come last.

[GypsyGoth]

I really want Phelps to win.

[Shaun]

I don't like Phelps, he seems really smug. Matsuda ftw :pipe:

[Jayson]

My internet is a bigger flop than Tom Daley

omg

[GypsyGoth]

I don't like Phelps, he seems really smug. Matsuda ftw :pipe:

I do like his tear like birthmark.

[Jayson]

Phelps when he breathes out underwater looks like Gandalf

[Shaun]

:o Le Clos

[GypsyGoth]

Awww, that was a great race.

[Jayson]

Silver for Phelps lololol

[GypsyGoth]

I love the underwater shots.

[GypsyGoth]

:worship:

[Munchkins]

Michael Phelps is actually so cute, and an inspiration :)

[lostalex]

Such a great day of swimming. The south African guy brought me to tears and phelps was so humble in defeat, and then Phelps getting his 19th record breaking medal brought me to tears too. I love the OLympics!!! SO awesome!

[Shaun]

Michael Jamieson in the 200m breast stroke final at 7:30, he got the fastest time in the semi-finals :amazed:

[Novo]

Yeah and the other british guy was 3rd quickest, as long one of them wins a medal that should be alright if they both win a medal then that will be amazing if one of them win gold though = :worship: that Hungarian is favourite i think... he should go quicker in the final :(

[Marc]

Finals and semi finals tonight :D Jamieson racing in the butterfly final

[Marc]

Techncally 1st and 3rd with the Japanese fella sandwiched between. Obviously some were holding back but 1/4 chance at some sort of medal is good!

[GypsyGoth]

It should be good :D

[Marc]

If we come 4th and 5th I'll kill Claudia. You heard it here first

[Shaun]

R.I.P. Claudia x
