What do they say when they want it to be released? I always thought it was "pull" but most of them seem to say something closer to "yaw". Or is it any grunt you want. :P

And if there are some that have used doping in these games they're North Korean weightlifters. Try to send anti doping tester to North Korea during their training season....

Women's Team Gymnastics, we've got an outside chance at a Bronze. Outside.

Women's 200m Freestyle, I think there's an outside chance at a Bronze.

Women's 200m Ind Med, We have a good chance at a medal, but it's "I'm just happy to be here" Miley in that race. She has the ability but I question her mindset.

Men's 4x200m Freestyle relay, I don't fancy our chances.

Individual Jumping Equestrian, We've got a good chance at some medals

Women's Syncro Final, Outside chance at a bronze

I reckon we'll pick up 2 silvers, one in jumping and one in the 200m ind med.

A few chances afterall then, I do hope we get something from that batch. Yeah Miley needs to step it up a gear.

Some people are sour grape when they loose a game by another country. This is more often if it's from China. You see it quite often. When Michael Phelps won the 8 medals in Beijing, the people around the world praise him for his ability and people in the US make him a person you try to be if you go into sport.

When this Chinese girl manage to do the impossible, everyone question her like she take illegal drugs and that no one can able to do that. Talk about sour grapes people.

Truth be told regardless of race beating a record like she did anyone would be suspicious this isn't about racism or "sour grapes".

Look like her win is real and not some form of drug usage like some people are talking about after the surprise win.

If you are doping you wouldn't be very good at it if you still had banned substances in your body when you arrived at the olympics. These tests mean almost nothing. Look at cycling where athletes have passed many tests and admitted later that they were doping.

If you want to catch cheaters you have to do regular surprise visits during training
 
added times for GB medal chances:

Individual Jumping Equestrian - now

Women's Syncro Final - 3pm

Women's Team Gymnastics - 4.30pm

Women's 200m Freestyle - 7.41pm

Women's 200m Ind Med - 8.43pm

Men's 4x200m Freestyle relay - 8.51pm

I'll try and do these everyday so that GB fans can know when to watch. Also because that will mean I add to the thread beyond lamenting GB athletes failing all the time.

Seriously it will be a while if they ever find out she was doping.

Thats right people. Pack it up. Everyone are doped until proven innocent.
 
Um, what is the post limit on threads again? We're almost at 20k.


Yay, gold in shooting! Still probably not gonna catch China. =/


And, as far as Ye is concerned, if she's doping she'll eventually get caught, until then she is an amazing freak of nature.
 
ctvolympics.ca finally crapped out for me. None of the feeds work just a grey box :( Doesn't matter what browser I use either.

Might have to go BBC.
 
can I recommend that people download the official olympics iPad app, it's the best resource I've found for finding event times, participants etc.
