GOLD IN DRESSAGE

[tino]

Men's high bar is much better than women's beam.

 

[Ydahs]

Didn't the Korean get a 16.6 in the men's vault last night? Best thing I saw all Olympics.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Epke stuntin' on the rest of the world. Fuck yeah.

God of the high bars.

 

[elseanio]

[Hypnotoad]

Netherland guy completely destroyed the field, great perfomance!

 

[Nolan.]

Wow amazing that Dutch guy just raised the bar

 

[Bo-Locks]

This is interesting...

BBC News: Olympic success: How much does a gold medal cost?


I did not know we were that serious about hockey, but that swimming number needs to be seriously reconsidered...

50% of British medalists were privately educated. Sport in Britian receives most of its money from the National Lottery good causes. This has been described as a "stealth tax" and the national lottery is often said to be a tax on the working class. So essentially the working class is paying for the privately educated middle class to continue with their sporting endeavours.

Disgusting. And that is why I hope these dressage pounces fall off and break their necks.

I'm going to start lobbying my MP to make more people aware of this and change the way sport is funded.

 

[MIMIC]

16.5 for the Flying Dutchman!

 

[markao]

WOW Epke just WOW


entire final is madness

 

[GroundCombo]

Has anyone tried the official PS360 London 2012 game? Does anyone know if it's any good or just a typical cash-in?

We played it before the opening ceremony to get in the mood. I haven't tried single player at all, but it's a fun party game. The mechanics for most events feel pretty good, easy enough to pick up but olympic/world records still seem to require some real effort. I got the OR in shot put with my first throw though, so the difficulty is a bit uneven. Animation can be a bit clunky, but otherwise the presentation is fine.

The "party" mode doesn't really suit party play. The score limits to unlock more challenges are all over the place and we failed miserably on our first try at the third challenge. Better stick to event play and make your own playlists. One problem is that some events are a bit lengthy (for example, six attempts at triple jump), and with four players and limited attention spans that can be a bit annoying. Then again you can always quit and pick another event, so it's not a big deal.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Poor American dude having to follow all of this.

 

[McNei1y]

Men's high bar is much better than women's beam.

Whaaat? Watch Shawn Johnson's Beijing Beam... That thing is incredible.

[Steelrain]

Damn USA BEASTED TOO! Shame about that landing though.

 

[Juicy Bob]

REST OF THE WORLD'S HORSES, ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?

Velodrome is open.

 

[Koodo]

OMG, the High Bar final is REDEEMING EVERYTHING.

 

[Sealda]

Remember Danells fathers euphoria after his routine. Well, he is second to last now...this field is insane.

 

[D_prOdigy]

 

[Nolan.]

Leyva must be so sad, he started and thought he did good but everyone just went and performed, the men outdid the women today, beam was aweful

 

[justjohn]

REST OF THE WORLD'S HORSES, ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?

They're too busy doing real horsey stuff like racing to do this poncy shit.

 

[MIMIC]

This isn't even a final. This is an exhibition! ^_^

Yeah, the rest of the guys are going absolutely balls-out on difficulty. it's all or nothing.

sport for the rest of us is very well funded at school level too. Just that its focused on very few sports like football and rugby.

 

[Diprosalic]

[Steelrain]

Damn awesome Team Netherlands. Well deserved.

[numble]
