Good evening for the brits at the olympics

[Craig Tucker]

First Kelly Holmes does a brilliant double by cruising the 1500m to add to her 800m title and then we beat the yanks at the mens 4x100m relay. Unbelivable.

US didn't win so we won't hear about it over here.

Copy and pasting from politick.org again conquest?

Have you noticed that the coverage makes it look like the US has won the gold in every event except basketball?

Yes. They do tend to get caught up in the frenzy don't they? It's why I've watched very little of the olympics so far.

Yes. It seems to be emptier than other olympics. However, someone here a few days ago said that every olympics in recent years had many empty seats, but I don't ever remember noticing, so it must not have been as obvious as this year. A shame.

Did you guys know that Michael Johnson was commentating for the BBC. Just wondering why he chose to commentate for the BBC rather than a US network. What an awesome runner he was.

Sydney also had pretty empty stadiums until they started giving away tickets.

I also thought it was a shame the U.S. Basketball team is missing so much of its talent.

[Supreme2k]

I know. "Dream Team", indeed!

[Conquest10]

I hate this whole time delay thing. Right now on MSNBC they're showing the Argentina vs. Paraguay soccer game in the second half. On Telemundo, they got the same game in the first.

that's awesome

[ViRaL1]

Anyone remember the whole Dan and Dave fiasco? :P

[Capmaster]

Just watched part of the bronze medal basketball game between USA and Lithuania. USA blew. Lithuania was killing them with the 3-pointers from the next time zone, and the USA players were missing so many easy shots. Definitely not the Dream Team. Maybe the "Creamed Team" :P

Dont forget the Javelin finals! Norway rulezzz

[Conquest10]

Javelin?

[thor300]

Men's Javelin Throw. Throw that stick as far as you can

That was a close race. You guys just beat us by .01 sec.

[flaninacupboard]

tenth of a second is a long time in sport, look at Formula 1!

[Reaper88]

That is very ture but I thought .01 was a hunderth of a second. Not sure if i am right though. I suck at math.

[flaninacupboard]

yep, it turns out i can't tell where a decimal place is at 3 in the morning. a hundredth of second is a very short space of time

[Reaper88]

dont worry you had me questoning myslef about it when i read your post too.

Yes, but the Americans were such a huge favourite in that event, it was one hell of an acheivement to win, whatever the margin.

Yes it was, not trying to ake anything away from them. I just thought it was a good race. The close ones are always fun.
