Olympics 2012

[Super Grover]

Super Byker Grover, have you got a bigger version of that? Looks cool.

It's quite a big image, I think it may be being suppressed from its hosting site?

I'll endeavour to pm you the image tonight.

I'll also try putting up the UBolt vid on here too.

So glad to finally get to see the BMXing in the olympics .
Real exciting to watch. I'd love to have a bash on that track it looks beautiful . Its amazing how fast you can go in 5th speed .

Its just a shame they picked that pr1ck who knows nothing about extreme sports to do the commentary just cos he's got a cool voice

OMG. I didn't realise they were clipped in now. So basically, if you have to dab a foot, you are screwed unless you are lucky enough to slap the clip back in first time.

The footage of the races and the slo mo stuff in the replays was immense.

His voice is super annoying. Was the same with the guy they had in with Cavendish at the track cycling. The same voice one of my mates has after living in America for 10 years. It seems to happen to most english people who move there...hurts my ears!!

BMX was good tho...shame our riders didnt do anything tho but it all coming down to one race at the end made it really tough!

Are you thinking of Ed Leigh?

I think he's pretty sound and has done loads of coverage of TEH XTREEEME sportz.

It's worth noting he's also won the Official UK Air Guitar Championships three times under the pseudonym
"Satan Whoppercock"...

Some say he's the new Alan Partridge:

In beach volleyball, a point is scored roughly every 10 seconds, so the commentator needs a big variety of exclamations with which to greet each tiny triumph. Thankfully, Leigh’s supply seems to be inexhaustible. To give just a few examples:
“He’s tenderising this court like a big T-bone steak!”
And: “The beast! Like a woolly mammoth at the net there!”
And: “The Dutch put the point to bed. Tucked up, night night!”
And: “Oh, a massive smash from Smedins! Burying that ball like a turtle burying its eggs!”

More like that twat Tim Westwood.

David Rushida, what a decent sounding bloke. Very humble, a class act.

The women's 1500m, very poor.

Mountain Biking is good to watch...the descents terrify me and I am sat on a sofa
Shame I have to go out...could happily watch this all day

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

Yeah the mountain biking is pretty mental I have to agree.

Was watching the Walking Race earlier & couldnt help but laugh, altho I'm sure its pretty gruelling & hard to walk in that kind of way (without feeling like a t1t)

[charlesr]

Walking race is daft. That is all.

[EvilBoris]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD

[Skull Commander]

\0/ LEGEND!

[nakamura]

That was magnificent.

[egparadigm]

Very impressive. I didn't see the 10k, but from the highlights it looks like he adopted completely the opposite strategy with this one, which makes it only more impressive. These longer distances are much more fun to watch, the tactics are really interesting.

Did anyone catch (pun intended) the handball? found it surprisingly entertaining. Watched Korea take on Spain which was a real close game - 10 seconds on the clock and Korea score to put the game into extra time!
