TeamGB-Gaf - a bit lttp, but is it safe to say Rebecca Adlington is the biggest disappointment of the games so far?

hmm, a tough one. she genuinely did do really well to get bronze in the 400m. It's not her event and her winning gold in 2008 was quite the fluke even then.

The 800m was a disappointment no doubt, but at least she medalled unlike the other women swimmers.

The cycling DQ is the most disappointing for me overall though, that was totally GUTTING.

I think those of us like me who don't pay any attention to swimming outside of the Olympics might have had unrealistic expectations on Adlington.

I think Mark Cavendish being nowhere by the finish of the road race was the bigger disappointment, although I know it wasn't down to him, apparently.
 
Am i the only one who thinks Pendleton is hot, i've had a crush on her since beijing. i think it's the eyes...and the killer body too of course.

She's too nice to be dissapointed in.

Yeah, I was dejected after the women were DQ, as they looked in great form.
 
the USA Shot Put guy on the screen for track and field (in the NBC App)

He looks like Jorge Garcia (Hurley/Hugo on Lost)

Any high res copy of this cover?

Damn that's an amazing cover!

The road race wasn't our fault and I don't blame Vicky and Jess in the cycling, I think the rules are ridiculous and the fact you can't appeal, atrocious.

So yeah Adlington is my biggest disappointment but still, she worked her butt off and she got two bronze, can't sniff at that.
 
comcast raining in cash with the influx of commercial revenues with olympics beating expectations in viewership.

Its almost a forgone conclusion that MLB and NASCAR will be on the NBC Networks again. Comcast's Hands are all over MLB Network, Costas and Michels have contracts there etc, and now with the monetary success of the Olympics - its almost fati-complit.
 
People are confused, so to clear it up - BBC and CBC are simular because they pay a one dollar surcharge, PBS have public funddrives and several diffrent holding companies backed by the US Government and other enties that fund the rest of the money.
 
So I'm trying to find out when the Men's 100 m events start for someone in my timezone (Mountain Time) so I go to the official page :

http://www.london2012.com/athletics/event/men-100m/index.html

Who are these bums? I don't see Bolt, Gay, Powell etc. It looks like none of these guys have even gone under 10 seconds. I see a Pakistani and Bengali in there, lollerz.

So my question is - What day and time is the 100 m dash? I'm talkiing about even the first rounds.
 
I'm watching the Italy v Algeria volleyball game and I think I'm finally starting to get into the sport.

lol

long volley's and spikers are where it's at!


But this game is pretty much one sided!


The close ones will have you on the edge of your seat!

TUR vs S. KOR was great (although my girls didnt bring their A game)
 
Watching the end of the basketball. All this deliberate fouling is pretty irritating. The final minute of the game has lasted about five minutes. And the French keep fouling us, so we keep getting penalities, but no one's getting booked for it, which is odd.
