So close for Dutch guy in Sailing, almost Gold with 300 to go and ending up 4th with no medal at the finish :(

Luckily our RS-X (wind-surfing) guy, van Rijsselberge, already won Gold with 2 race to go, to compensate the feeling ;)

Sailing sounds brutal as far as medals are concerned, our team were supposedly nailed on for gold and then ended up losing it in the last 100m.
 
Let's get this over with quickly so we can move on to the real final - mixed doubles.

F'real, though, I was so super psyched on Fed winning Wimbledon. Here, I'm ok with any result.
 
Wish our commentators wouldn't say stuff like "Federer isn't looking great" - because it's almost guaranteed he'll go on to prove them wrong once they start with those comments.
 
Beeb commentators are biased, but they dont focus solely on british athletes and give credit to any and all outstanding athletes. so it balances out. Unlike NBC, which is obnoxiously slanted.

It is when you are some what separated, one little bit of wind 100 meter further up on the course and there is absolutely nothing you can do but watch others go past you....does make it fun to watch.

To be fair, they said straight after that Fed still wins a lot even when looking shaky.
 
was it the same guy that started shouting about how ainslie had "transcended sailing" after he won because that was p. funny.
I have no idea because that was the first time I tuned in for the sailing event. Although it is nice for the BBC guy to recognise that winning gold ensures Ainslie transcends a mere mortal form and ascends to heavenly glory... or something.

Just like how GAF was saying Federer was going to walk out of the Olympics with nothing because of his semi...
