do it for gaf
This is exactly what I'm doing right now. lolProcrastinating to avoid going to bed, because when I wake up the Olympics really will be over.
At least this BBC Three talking heads Olympic thing is pretty funny.
But... but... that happened two weeks ago when the 2012 olympics were in its early stages...
...provided you don't get eliminated. You'd need to register a score in every event. Given that one decathlon event is the pole vault...

Might as well get the best / worst discussion started again...
Highlight of the Games
Ennis kicking for victory in the 800m leg of her heptathlon.
Lowpoint of the Games
The British girls (Varnish / Pendleton) getting disqualified in the pursuit.
Athlete(s) of the Games
Hard to go against Farah for me here.
Biggest Villian of the Games
The ref at the fencing, or the ref at the cycling. Probably the fencing though.
Funniest Moment of the Games
Probably Bolt posing with the mascot.
Sport you've most enjoyed watching
Weightlifting.
GAF Moment of the Games
Archer love-in.

Whoever watches the NBC coverage of the closing ceremony please let us know if they cut the "shit" part of "Always Look On The Bright Side..."
Let's finish this and wrap it up with three perfect, complete OTs.
Keep the thread going till Rio.

Wow, I really enjoyed watching the Olympics over the past two weeks.
It's been inspiring, sad, funny, happy - a real mix of emotions coming together to represent what high level competition should be.
London put on a great show, and really enjoyed the closing ceremony tonight - thought it got off to a bit of a slow start but the second half was fantastic.

Actually i like multples of 5 better.. but sure. Not good to dilute stuff with too many sequels that lose tthe spirit of the first parts.

Not sure how I feel about that...But I guess it's better than Lisa blowing Bart.
My Olympic Memories
1) Archery - Starting with the team competitions all the way through the individual events, a great event to watch for fast paced action and player nerves.
2) Fencing - Fast paced action counter-balanced by agonizingly drawn-out controversy. Epee > foil and sabre.
3) LOL NBC - Great schadenfreude when their gymnastics and swimming story-lines started blowing up in their face. I can proudly claim not to have watched any of their delayed TV coverage, unless I was in a sports bar with friends and already knew the result.

It's over only just finished watching the closing ceremony.
At least those of us with access to iplayer get to watch the archive until 2013. I'm going to watch everything i missed!
I never thought a home Olympics would affect me this much but it has been incredible *sniffle*

Ladies and gents, it has been an honour arguing with you. I hope you enjoyed the Olympics that I - a Brit - lay claim to despite having no involvement in any capacity.
It's great - so much better than our typographic abomination. Really like the full scale model during the closing ceremony too.
I like it. Much better than London's.
NBC hasn't even bothered to start broadcasting the show yet, but I can assure you with 1000% certainty that it has been cut.
Also, I <3 the BBC streams. The whole closing ceremony with NO commentary of any kind at all! How fantastic.

Such a contrast between him and Michael Johnson.

I'm really struggling to understand why Colin is getting so much hate. Sure, he's a bit dim, but he's a genuinely nice guy.
Deep down you know it's true.. admit it!
And maybe this is just me seeing things, but it spells "Rio" as well.

Rio holding their opening and closing ceremonies in a football stadium, and the athletics stadium is only 45,000 seater.
I'm already disappointed.
