Congrats to Italy for winning gold

Spoiler

HETALIA!

 

[Good Job Bob]

Brazil won over the favored U.S. in Women's Volleyball 3 sets to 1?

How... Why... Hells naw!

US women had no momentum and the Brazilian chicks were playing brilliantly (after the first set).

 

[Zaph]

Olympic Tonight starting now on BBC One. Epic guest line up.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Gabby Yorath...yummy!

 

[Parch]

Based on per capita Canada does alright, especially if winter olympic events are included.

Somebody mentioned Australia's performance was disappointing. They've seen a drop since they've hosted but it's still an impressive total considering the population of their country. Aussie's are the real summer olympic studs.

 

[McNei1y]

Sorry dude, but you'd still be bound by federal law even in the UK.

I suppose you could watch him dick her?

:lol was that discussed in this topic or the relationship gap topic?

Anyway, yeah.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Congrats to Gabon for getting their first ever medal at the olympics. Should have been gold, but silver is a great accomplishment.

 

[Curufinwe]

If you go by population New Zealand did a lot better than Australia.

Aussies really choked in swimming.

 

[Brazil]

Aussies really choked in swimming.

To be fair, everyone that wasn't Team USA or Shiwen choked in swimming.

 

[Randdalf]

Looking ahead to the Winter Olympics in 2014... hopefully Team GB can top their medal total of 1 (gold) in Vancouver.

 

[Chumly]

USA was actually surprising because they outperformed across the board.

 

[Funky Papa]

This reminds me that I hope the football team makes it to the next WC. I loved their enthusiasm during the last one.

 

[justjohn]

Surprised Argentina and Spain aren't dominating in the diving. They do have a lot of talent.

 

[Linius]

To be fair, everyone that wasn't Team USA or Shiwen choked in swimming.

Our Dutch ladies did well.

 

[Live Free or Die]

What does win by superiority mean in Olympic Tae Kwon Do?

 

[Good Job Bob]

USA was actually surprising because they outperformed across the board.

I think Phelps accomplishments in '08 really set a fire to Swimming in the US, which was already quite strong.

That one gold was in woman's skeleton right? She was hot.

 

[Wes]

Gabby Logan in that dress.

 

[Kurtofan]

FAO GAF-GIF'ERS: The Mo/Bolt magic moment is back up on the BBC Olympic player. You know what to do.

Write a fanfic?

Yup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Williams

 

[Parch]

Jamaica

They've got one sport figured out.

And yes, New Zealand did great too.

I highly doubt we will.

It's insanely expensive to get into winter sports in the UK as most of your training has to be overseas. Very few people have access to the funds and there isn't anywhere near the support compared to the summer games.

Write a fanfic?

No - photoshop France's theoretical medals in, obviously.

 

[Chumly]

Must have. Considering competition is much fiercer in modern times and USA swimming still had one of their best olympics in the past 30 years.

 

[Linius]

Maybe you guys should go Ice skating

 

[justjohn]

I love David beckham but he's so hilariously inarticulate.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

What's this I've been hearing about Bolt and Mo being on the same podium and exchanging gestures? Missed it.

EDIT: Found it! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19229542

 

[Wes]

All we want from the Winter Olympics is uninterrupted Curling coverage.

 

[Randdalf]

I highly doubt we will.

Yeah, we still managed to send 52 athletes to the last one though.

The NZ football team managed to lose in the Oceania Cup to New Caledonia and won't be at the 2013 Confederations Cup, so it's not looking good right now.

 

[Nolan.]

Aren't most footballers?

 

[Kurtofan]

Only one gold medal hahahaha

We got TWO gold medals in Vancouver

 

[perfectchaos007]

Not nearly as bad as former boxers

 

[Linius]

So The Netherlands beat Team GB and France? How's that for population/medals count?

 

[Juicy Bob]

LOL! I've only just seen that just after Bolt crossed the line, he ran past one of the officials and dummied handing the baton over to her.

 

[Psychotext]

Anyone know where the footage of the Jamaican team playing with the mini remote control car is? They mentioned it on the radio but I can't find it on the player.

 

[Hoo-doo]

LOL! I've only just seen that just after Bolt crossed the line, he ran past one of the officials and dummied handing the baton over to her.

Yes, I noticed that as well. Great moment that deserves a gif.

"Nope!"

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Lol yeah I thought he missed her. But it was on purpose

 

[John Dunbar]

To be fair, everyone that wasn't Team USA or Shiwen choked in swimming.

Sun Yang and that Lithuanian girl did great as well.

 

[Sickboy007]

He had to relinquish it after an officer told him that he couldn't take it, they spoke for a while and the crowd booed the IOC guy.

 

[Fergie]

Then they gave it back and crowd cheered.

We beat you in total medal with 11 medals though, winter Olympics don't count anyway

except the ones in France, of course.

 

[Jamie OD]

Already posted earlier.

That was the baton moment, not the RC car.

If you don't win it doesn't count right?

The world better gets ready for Sven Kramer, he will come in full force at the next winter olympics.

 

[Fergie]

Didn't read the above quote my bad indeed.

 

[DemonNite]

according to some ESPN commentator...

Jamaica 4x100m split times:
Carter 10.1secs
Frater 9.0secs
Blake 9.0secs
Bolt 8.8secs

I'll wait for "official" times though

 

[Sickboy007]

Then they gave it back and crowd cheered.

Ha, i missed that!

Man, those female high jumpers were HOTTT

That was the baton moment, not the RC car.

Yeah i quoted the wrong guy.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Oh man, for a sport we are supposedly so good at, I fucking can't stand watching ice skating.
Maybe i'm not a true dutchman after all.
