What site are you using?
 
It's pretty crazy down here in Trinidad right now. People asking for a public holiday.
My mom was wondering if everyone's gonna get a holiday and fete for a few days, lol. I should email my aunt and uncle and ask what they're gonna do.

A few of my relatives are up here visiting, so I'm sure when they come back after going out they're gonna celebrate.

It's not necessarily about impeding the other runner. It's the measured distance. If you run out of your lane you haven't run the full 400m.
This too. Just a really shitty way to go out.
 
Well now it's almost over what the fuck am I supposed to watch next week??? Am I going to have to go and do .............. Work???

Sleeping dogs & Darksiders 2 release next week =) ... Though the guilt of just sitting inside playing video games might get you after watching the olympics lol
 
I was just pointing out that you should laugh when Gatlin gets nabbed as well. Don't be prejudiced in calling out drug cheats for one nation that ran 20+ years ago.

Wasnt calling him out, just naming the last notable Canadian sprinting news story.....and conveniently picking at a clealry still sore wound!

I don't even watch TV outside of sporting events and the news. D:

Guess it's back to having LPs and retrospectives in the background while I study or going out whenever I'm bored.

buh at the guy that took Bolts baton away :(
LOL, CTV didn't catch all of that so I have to watch the American broadcast later. What did Bolt want it for? A souvenir?
 
Stadium singing along to Wonderwall.

Oh, and the PA just asked us to give our appreciation to the volunteers. Massive cheer.

There's audible disappointment for every ceremony announcement that's not Mo's!
 
Yeah pretty poor of them to do that. As if they only have 8 batons.

The IOC is not about to let an athlete wander away with any memorabilia unless they absolutely have to, that could be worth a few $$ some day. And I'm sure some 78 year old minor European nobility/IOC governor wants to display it at his office. ;P
 
I thought the Beijing games wouldn't be topped but London has been amazing. Well Done to everyone involved.

I have to say as well, and this is not a dig on the other sports but athletics for me really makes the olympics. I can't imagine what it would be like if there was no athletics involved.
 
Anyone else notice during the race how Bolt received the baton in his left hand and passed it to his right hand?

That's a very risky move.
 
You speak of Ben Johnson, when the US has a drug cheat (Gatlin) on the 4x1 team. Don't be too blind in your accusations.

This is unfair. I know Eznark well enough to know he would never overlook the presence of a confirmed cheater just because the athlete's accomplishments benefit his favorite team.
 
Interesting jawlines for the men's field hockey. Perhaps their women counterparts can adopt it for greater effect.

Condolences for the Dutch team vs the Germans. The Incumbent's Curse/Blessing seems to be present for this Olympics
 
Hahaha, now I know why I stay mostly on Gaming Side. Good grief.

I thought he was almost gonna drop it in between his hand passes. But man, Bolt is impressive.
 
Congratulations on the hockey gold Germany. We both didn't play our best games but you guys were terrible effective with the chances you've created. Well deserved medal.

Still proud of our guys who did way better then expected.

he got it back! :D The BBC athletics stream showed it, Bolt tried to take it as a souvenir but some judge said 'no, you cant keep it, we need it" and the whole stadium booed. Thankfully they reconsidered and gave it back to him (with a cheering crowd).
