BBC has announced on twitter that all their Olympic footage wil be available to watch online till January 2013.
Wonder if that will include the 3D channel too? I'm thinking of upgrading my TV anyway this year, so being able to go back and see some highlights in 3D would be a great incentive.

Plus, I've heard the 3D effect on sports is actually really good.

And once again our Olympic campaign ends with a major flop at Men's Volleyball.

Disgraceful and embarassing. These guys are not worthy of wearing the same shirt as the girls.

Calm down man, our male team made history in the sport, lose in a transition of generation, is normal, most of this players is not coming back, the beaten hurt but calm down the wreak train! lol

They deserve more claps than boos.

So we repeated our shit Beijing performance + 1 Silver.

Hopefully some bizarre miracle happens between today and 2016 so that our "best" athletes stop sucking.

Yes, losing during a generational transition is normal. Getting wrecked for three sets in a row after two match points, on the other hand, isn't. Under any circumstances.

Thanks guys. And yeah I spent a long time adjusting the shape of the yellow/red, I really couldn't settle on anything, so I just settled on something... the yellow is of course meant to be the sun, and the red the kangaroo's body, and together they form the circle of the greater Brisbane area, the river body running through it... but it was hard to avoid it looking like a hamburger lol.

Anyone wanna make any attempts at any other Olympic logos (Tokyo, Madrid, Istanbul 2020?) (Paris 2024?) (Dubai 2028? etc etc).
It probably ends up looking too much like a single object, even though it's supposed to represent multiple objects. I don't know how much you can change it and still keep the entire Brisbane aesthetic, but there is probably some way to differentiate the sun from the rest of the kangaroo, either by repositioning it or redrawing it. (Maybe sun rays would help?) Unfortunately, I'm not much of an expert here, or even really a critic.

Sure. lol

With the government investment that we have there sure will be improvements.

LOL just saw an interview on BBC One with Nicola Adams that had some mad racist overtones.

They brought her into a really posh tea room with this old white guy and he said to her "You can eat whatever you like now!"

yeah I'm reading too much into it, but it was funny as fuck

I raised my eyebrow but she said she wanted to go to Nando to celebrate and they were saying think a bit bigger.

What is count back?
The main score only awards one point if three judges agree within one second that a punch should score. Countback awards one point for any time a judge states that a punch should score, so it counts the more marginal situations as well, and awards more points for the punches that impress more judges.

The most annoying thing about this whole situation is that the press will just go "Oh, but they did well, Silver or Bronze is good enough, we should be happy just to be there" like always and the people will nod their heads sheepishly, while the government and the COB keep doing absolutely nothing because they're not under pressure.

So Joshua was gifted two matches in this joke of a boxing tournament, those people should be ashamed. Joshua knew he didn't win the gold, look at his face.

Really? He seemed pretty convinced he won to me.

Was a very close fight though.

I don't know if you know that fighters of all types usually have to fast like hell to hit their target weight prior to a fight.

There was nothing to read into the comment.
Dude, I pulled one quote out of context and made a joke of it. I even acknowledged I was reading too much into it. Go unbunch your panties.

And yes, I'm fully aware of boxer's cutting techniques to meet their weigh in.
