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!

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

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

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.

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.

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
