2012 London Olympics

[Kaiso 2,764]

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/

[HarLea Quinn 26,501]

I want to see gymnastics ! My all time favorite summer olympic sport.. Go USA!!!!

[Kaiso 2,764]

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.

[Oishii 3,987]

I'm horrible during the Olympics. I end up cheering for every country

[Wolf on the Run 391]

i heard some use irish are already making ourselves the life of the party over there

causing trouble and the Olympics havent even officially started yet thats so like us

 

Also Irelands got the gold in boxing no doubt

[lizzie1238 538]

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.

Looking forward to Badminton. Sadly the star athlete of my country (Lee Chong Wei - Silver medal from badminton men singles beijing olympics 2008) is still recovering from injury, so hope he gets to the final without any problems.

Swimming has always been a favorite of mine to watch, I'm excited for that. Diving is interesting to watch, too. But my most favorite parts of any Olympic event, has to be the opening and closing ceremonies, lol.. ouo
