Now these are the montages I like. I forget the name of the guy doing the voice over but it's brilliant.

Ceremony is at 9pm.

Apparently the BBC aired an advert for Channel 4's coverage of the Paralymics earlier.

That's ridiculously awesome of them. Airing a commercial for their competition.

Both are funded by the TV license, though Channel 4 to a lesser extent. Might have been part of the deal. If its not part of a deal, the BBC are to be applauded. I grow tired of the whole 'this is ours and that is yours' aspect of modern TV, music, games etc.

The 'Olympic Stories' he did the voice over for were brilliant, disappointed that they aren't on the BBC the website.
 
People are mad at Gaitlin and Dwain, and don't want them to compete for doping in the past, but what about everyone's second favorite Jamaican sprinter and silver/gold medalist, Yohan Blake?

Should Yohan Blake fuck off?
 
Pretty funny how an error of judgement means a guy is an asshole for life, if someone fucks up they can always right themselves; maybe Gatlin did that after serving his ban, who knows. But all this talk about how he stole Tyson Gay's medal is idiotic, Gatlin finished before him in the race.

A bigger villain (aside from China) would be Rudy Fernandez who resorted to dirty tactics and literally tried to injure other players during basketball games

NBC's coverage was so bad, but their long piece on the Brits' refusal to fall to Hitler was amazing. Here in America every history class I ever took focused on how America bailed out Europe, but there would have been no Europe to bail out without the Brits. That was awesome work by Tom Brokaw and his crew.

Apparently Neogaf is full of people that never made a bad decision in their lives.

I've seen this mentioned, but I think it's referring to their advert for *their* coverage of the paralympics (on 5 Live) - but it's reasonable to point out that in doing so it's promoting the paralympics itself and everything relating to it - including, of course, *all* the coverage of it.

I've not seen an explicit reference to the paralympics being on Channel 4 in an advert on the BBC.
 
Athlete of the games is probably Ye Shiwen. Winning and with the time that would beat the men in the same discipline, that is incredible.
 
The bbc montage shows really are god like. The editing and production are SO GOOD! I wish the world could all tune in to witness the epicness. I've got hairs standing up watching this.
 
Man the montages on BBC are better than the CTV ones (which are kind of decent in their own way, but I like the BBC ones a little better).

I would seriously take a dive in qualifying if it meant I could be in the Village for the whole 2 weeks.

Did they need an emergency shipment of condoms this time, or did they have more than an average of 14-15 condoms per person now?

Compare their doping charges and the drugs they were caught with...it's not really comparable.

You are aware most people just steal them to take home right? People fuck at the village but it's not a porn shoot / orgy.
