People Still don't realise this will be the biggest Olympics by far EVER. Not only have we got the biggest athletic event in history the men's 100(Bolt,Gay,Gatlin,Blake) where the world record could be broken by 5 different peeps we also have the Phelps Vs Lochte Battle in the pool

Any one else a Games Maker volunteer? I'm based at North Greenwich Arena, on the IT team delivering the results. My first shift is on 28th July. Also going to Technical Rehearsal for the opening ceremony on 25th July at Olympic Park. The uniform, however, is horrendous!

Nigeria beat Greece 80-79 to qualify for the Olympics Basketball

YES!!

Cisse left out the Senegal team for the Olympics :pipe:

So annoyed, I wont be here when the opening ceremony is on :bored:

First gold medal goes to Yi Siling from China in the 10m rifle

Crazy scenes at the Aquatics Centre some guy got disqualified after winning his heat and our guy qualified :love:

I'm glad the BBC coverage went over to the Women's 10m Rifle earlier, else I would have never seen that event.

British men doing well in the gymnastics heats :suspect:

Equestrian should not be an olympic game

Agreed

what about the poor horses that enjoy it?

We all know that the horses would rather play in a field eating grass, Andy :nono:

In other news I've had to change my sig + avatar as my internet hated the idea of loading a gif every time I post, and the red button is amazing, so glad it's all in HD.

There is ''artistic gymnastics'', ''syncronised swimming'', and equestrian, yet there is no darts

piss take

Equestrian is so boring. :bored:

Artistic gymnastics is fantastic, Nathan.

+ I've never understood why there is no Rugby in the Olympics. I think it's going to be in Rio 2016, though.

Gymnastics is just fabulous
always my favourite event

Archery

Why is that an Olympic event?

Might as well put extreme ironing in there.

Don't think there is any netball either which seems like a typical olympic sport

Are you supposed to still get all the red button stuff on freeview? Can get it on my tv which has sky but the one that doesn't it doesn't seem available :suspect:

please don't compare a bunch of fat drunk idiots throwing sharp metal at a cork board to the the most physically demanding of all athletic disciplines artistic gymnastics.

How dare you speak that way of the great Andy Fordham

Can't beleive we don't have a table tennis thread. Poor Ding Ning getting red carded by the crazy umpire.

GB could grab a gold in the Equestrian team jumping :amazed: [no thread for that sport :p]
