She is on a path of (happy) destruction in the individuals; she's already past the round of 32, where she beat the Chinese archer (Jing Xu) in 3 straight with a 29/28/28.

I know what he said was stupid but how does that warrant an arrest?
Cause he took it further than what he said about his dad.

Link? Would like to judge for myself. Sounds fishy.
The message of the ads is basically Renner is Bourne 4.0. Bourne was just a simplistic chump while this new guy is the baddest mother fucker to ever mess with the CIA. So lame.
@Rileyy_69 - that's his account.
He's deleted a few aimed at Tom Daley where he said he'd kill him, he'd drown him etc and more. Probably screen grabs somewhere.

I'm calling a 9.29 for Bolt, paypal me, lol.
I'm well aware of that, I'm shocked so many people would leave when Team GB are on.
It's not just Earl's Court either, the Aquatics centre, Wimbledon, all the venues seem to have loads of empty seats, just adds more fuel to all the ticket sales controversy.
BBC iPlayer. Nothing better, everything live and everything on archive
Theyre mostly seats reserved for IOC members and sport governing bodies (eg FINA for swimming). In early rounds they often don't attend because of 'other duties' (I.e can't be arsed) but they'll be there for the finals. Seats are still block reserved regardless which is a bit silly. I think they are looking to release some now which is good
I am going to. Did some research and it seems like the Samick Sage is a great affordable recurve bow. Less than 130 US and made in Korea. Which seems to be a good thing with archery.

You sir are insane.
The conditions in London are about as bad as they could be for a record. Will not happen.
Go for it, it's a lot of fun. Don't spend a ton on equipment at first, and don't be in a rush to get high poundage limbs. My store has a limb exchange program which is really good - you buy a simple set of limbs (the arms of the bow) and can exchange them for free every 6 months, as you get more practice and need higher poundage, so you can work your way up. Then when you're stable you can just keep them or buy better limbs at your preferred weight.

It is a lot of fun to do. I did it for a few months. Stopped because the time of training wasn't good for me. Still miss it though. Might pick it up again one day.
So ONLY the chinese know how to mask?
Nah the French too.
If they get caught doping, they're doping and it's entirely unsurprising. If they don't, they're masking and it's entirely unsurprising...
I really hope a 16-year girl just starting her career is not doping... That would be a shame. For now I'll just choose to believe that she did a great job of swimming the last 50 meters, the comparisons to the men's time are unfair because Lochte had a good advantage at that time.

6 out of his 9 shots were 10's. He absolutely destroyed his opponent.
Today I have tickets to see Boxing and Table Tennis. After going to see boxing last night I kind of wish I had something else to see in the afternoon but I can't complain. Anyway, a few highlights from last night:
Like I said in my last post, it doesn't hit you just how global the Olympics is until you visit the host city during the games. Streets and transport stations are packed with people from all corners of the globe. At the event, there were teo big crowds from Kazakhstan at opposite ends of ringside making their presence felt throughout the show. There were also chunks of fans from France, Thailand, Cuba, Japan, Belgium and Nicaragua there to support their boxers while athletes and staff from places like Ireland and Jamaica also attended.
During Thailand's fight, there was one of their supporters in the crowd wearing a rudiculous costume. It was dark so at first I thought he was dressed as Captain America. Turns out he was wearing a sash and a helmet with mini Thai flags sticking out. In one hand he was holding a paper clapper and in the other a parasol, all in the Thai flag colours. In between rounds he was making a lot of noise with the clapper while twirling around the parasol. He got a few cheers when people noticed him and he even rallied them to support his boxer.
My favourite moment was the penultimate fight between Montenegro and Nicaragua. There was a bunch of Montenegro fans who sang to the tune of "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys (soccer fans might recognise the tune from when fans sing the lyrics "Stand up if you love/hate X"). They were all holding up a shoe while they were singing. The fight itself was one sided in the first round. Montenegro winning 5-2. Then in the 2nd round, Bravo (the Nicaragura boxer's name) fought back and began winning over the crowd. When the score became tied after 2 rounds the crowd came alive cheering for Bravo as he fought his best in the final round. The loudest cheer of the night was when he was announced as the winner.
There were times when the crowd didn't know anything about either boxer in a fight, so they supported the guy with the better name, like Duke from Ghana. The last fight was Germany Vs Cameroon. Obviously given the location, Cameroon got everyone's support but was beaten rather easily.
So yeah, one day in and it's already a fantastic experience. I wish it was easier to sort out tickets as I would love to enter the Olympic Park or trade this afternoon's boxing session for something else. I'll try and keep you lot updated if I find anything very interesting.
