Kaiso 2,764 Posted July 25, 2012 Since the Women's Football/Soccer kicked off today to start things off I thought why not make an official thread where we talk about all of the games? I know there are at least some of you that wouldn't mind talking about it. If you do not like or care for the Olympic games we do not need posts in here explaining that. If you do not want to be part of the discussion then please by all means keep out. This is solely a thread for discussing about the teams you root for, the games, the athletes, and keeping track of the overall games. If your posts to don't contribute they will be removed. The official website for everything is here: http://www.olympic.org/ and here http://www.london2012.com/ Full list of all the sports in the 2012 London Olympics: http://www.olympic.org/sports Aquatics Diving Swimming Synchronized Swimming Water polo Archery Athletics Badminton Basketball Boxing Canoe kayak Slalom Sprint Cycling Cycling BMX Cycling Road Cycling Track Mountain Bike Equestrian Dressage Eventing Jumping Fencing Football Golf Gymnastics Artistic Gymnastics Rhythmic Gymnastics Trampoline Handball Hockey Judo Modern pentathlon Rowing Rugby Sailing Shooting Table tennis Taekwondo Tennis Triathlon Volleyball Beach volleyball Volleyball Weightlifting Wrestling Greco-Roman Freestyle Here is also the list of the Paralympics sports: Archery Athletics Boccia Track Cycling Road Cycling Equestrianism Football 5-a-side Football 7-a-side Goalball Judo Powerlifting Rowing Sailing Shooting Swimming Table Tennis Sitting Volleyball Wheelchair Basketball Wheelchair Fencing Wheelchair Rugby Wheelchair Tennis So to kick things off which teams to do support? Which events are your favorites? Which athletes are you going to pay more attention to? Also since the Women's Soccer scores for the first day are the only ones that I know are being put up (Sorry if you call it Football, I call it soccer) I'll put them up here: These are the qualifiers they have to go through to the next round Great Britain vs New Zealand: 1-0 Japan vs Canada: 2-1 United States vs France: 4-2 Cameroon vs Brazil: 0-5 Sweden vs South Africa: 4-1 Colombia vs Korea DPR: 0-2 The opening ceremony/official opening of the games does not start until the 27th! A leaked list of the music has been released and you can also see the overview of the dome! http://www.digitalsp...r-playlist.html The official song of the olympics has also been released for quite some time, the song is "Survival" by Muse. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=68mw8AE9l_g 6 Deadshot, Oishii, Master Aqua and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaiso 2,764 Posted July 25, 2012 I'm one of those losers that tries to watch and keep track of everything. I'd be keeping a closer eye on equestrian, archery, soccer, gymnastics and swimming the most, but I just love watching everythinggggg. Of course I'd go for team USA, but I'm also rooting for Canada in a few sports, but pretty much I just want someone to beat Japan in women's soccer and I want someone to beat out China in gymnastics and diving. 1 TheApprenticeofKingMickey reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lizzie1238 538 Posted July 25, 2012 Everyone's all "USA! USA!" and I'm just here in the corner quietly cheering on Canada. But no worries, as long as no one beats the record we set in Vancouver for most gold medals. I'm also cheering on Jamaica in the track/running section, specifically Usain Bolt. I hope he sets some more world records! You would never guess because of how pale I am, but I'm actually half Jamaican. Yes, there are white Jamaicans. 2 Kaiso and TheApprenticeofKingMickey reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
