  • 15 days before London Olympics! !!

     

    Athletes make last train before arrival in London.

     

    Write your favorite sports and athletes, your predictions on the winners or any facts about London Olympics 2012.

  • I'm going to watch tennis, obviously, but also my other favorite sports - swimming, athletics and gymnastics and I will try to follow all Serbian teams. I don't have high expectations, it's better like that. :)

  • The soccer tournament will also be quite exciting since there are quite a few stars taking part.

     

    As for me, I will surely be watching the gymnastics competitions, hoping that my fellow Romanians will get a few medals.

  • I love watching the diving and the gymnastics.

     

    I'm dreading the opening ceremony!  There was a report out a while ago about the opening ceremony saying it was sheep and cows in a "field" as such.  I know that is not all of the opening ceremony and there will be a lot more to it than that....I hope it is a lot more interesting than sheep and cows in a field.

  • Markotik, probably all Serbs will be watching tennis. :) Djokovic is one of the hopes for a gold medal in London for Serbia.

  • I can't wait for the opening ceremony, I always watch it, no matter what. Well Blue, I hope to see more than cows and sheep in the field. :)

     

    Yes Alex, we are hoping but many actually don't expect him to win a gold medal. I heard many people talking about his form and his tennis and it sounds like they would be surprised if he wins.

  • Here are the outright odds for the soccer tournament, courtesy of Intertops:

     

    London 2012: To Win Men's Soccer Gold Medal

     

    Brazil +175

    Spain +240

    Uruguay +700

    Great Britain +750

    Switzerland +1000

    Mexico +1400

    Japan +4000

    South Korea +4000

    Belarus +5000

    Egypt +5000

    Senegal +5000

    Gabon +6600

    Morocco +6600

    Honduras +15000

    New Zealand +20000

    United Arab Emirates +20000

     

    I'd bet on Uruguay, as they will have both Cavani and Forlan in the squad.

  • I think you are right Johnny; Uruguay has a very strong team and I'm thinking about making a few bets for these Olympic games. I know I won't bet on a basketball tournament, I need more excitement. :D

    It looks majestically!

  • If you stay in London besides watching sport you can see over 12000 art performances and events.

  • It seems they have a great program prepared and I expected nothing less but I'm afraid I'm going to watch these Olympic games from my home.

  • Sadly I'll be at home as well but I have a bigger TV now than during the 2008 Olympics :D

  • The same situation is happening to me. There are so many sporting events this summer, but unfortunately I don`t have a time to watch live that festival of sport.

  • Sadly I'll be at home as well but I have a bigger TV now than during the 2008 Olympics :D

     

    Now that I think about it, I have a bigger tv now, too. Woohoo  <:-P

  • I'm already euphoric about these games. I have a physical therapy for my lower back for over a month now, and I'm making jokes with another patient (has a injured knee) that we are actually getting ready for the Olympic games. My therapy ends on Friday, so, the timing is perfect. :D

  • I have to say the opening ceremony wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.  I actually quite enjoyed it.

     

    Most sad and  memorable moment:

     

    Mohammad Ali holding onto the Olympic flag - respect to the man.

  • I enjoyed the ceremony, it was quite creative and spectacular.

     

    The Muhammad Ali moment gave me goose bumps, the man is a legend and it's great that he made the effort to be on the stadium for the opening ceremony.

  • The ceremony was ok, I wasn't impressed. The music part of it was fantastic starting with Muse - Map of the Problematique and ending it with Hey Jude - that was mind-blowing. 

    I think that everything was a bit too slow and too sad for such an event. 

    Regarding Muhammad Ali, I have mixed feelings. He's an absolutely fantastic sportsman, but he is very sick and he didn't need this, so he deserves a huge respect for showing up.

  • Oh yes, I completely forgot, I really liked the scene with the Queen and Daniel Craig, that was really good and funny.  :)

  • I enjoyed the Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) bit with Chariots of Fire.

  • It was amazing! I like London show more than it was in Beijing. But tastes differ.

  • I enjoyed the Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) bit with Chariots of Fire.

     

    blue

     

    OMG that was great! LOL Probably the best part. Someone said the US uniforms made them look like flight attendants. LOL

  • As I said before, I really quite enjoyed it...some bits more than other bits but overall, I wasn't disappointed.  It really was Britain through the years. 

     

    So my favourite (and perhaps some sad bits thrown in too) were:

     

    The coming together of the 5 rings

    Mr Bean and the Chariots of Fire music and his film

    The James Bond bit

    The Olympic flag bit - Mohammad Ali (bless his heart)

    The music (heavenly singing and drums) when the 7 nominated "future" olympians ran round the stadium with the torch,

    The lighting of the olympic flame  - a touch of genius in my opinion.

  • Those pics are brilliant Alex, great find!

  • Just watched Michael Phelps (Men's Swimming Team USA) come in second and the world record for gold medals in three consecutive Olympic events slips through his fingers. So disappointing. They were saying he didn't train for these Olympic Games. Not sure it was such a smart idea. Bet he's kicking himself now. We will see if he becomes the most "decorated" Olympic athlete. For that, he still has a chance.

  • Gooooooooo Phelps and goooooooooooo Team USA. Phelps goes down as the best ever! Such an exciting relay. woohooo

  • Amazing photos from Alex. Please post more if you will find.

    Thanks

  • Phelps got 19 medals. Congrats! He has a chance for more - three events to go — the 200 individual medley, the 100 butterfly and the 4x100 medley relay.

    What a great performance on the trampoline.  Did anyone see it?

    Normally you can't watch the BBC online if you are outside the UK. But I've found a way around that ;) If anyone is interested I can share a link.

  • The Jessop House Games are amazing, thanks for sharing that!

     

    I remember that we used to have our own Olympics when I was a kid. I used to gather the kids from the neighbourhood and have competitions, setting records and so on. I remember I had a notebook in which I was writing down all the performances. We didn't have all the Olympic sports represented though, just running, long jump, high jump and a few others. 

     

    My grandma banned the boxing competition after my cousin punched another kid pretty hard in the stomach. It was a knock-out though :)

  • How wonderful.  Did you keep hold of that notebook with all the performances in?

     

    blue

  • LOL that's a really funny video. Thanks for sharing Blue. Javelin was my favorite one. :D

     

    I'm familiar with some links where I can watch Olympic games but even though I have a really good internet connection, the picture is not always great, and my eyes start to hurt quickly. I prefer to watch sports on TV.

  • Did you keep hold of that notebook with all the performances in?

     

    It should be somewhere in the attic at my parents' house but I doubt I'll go looking for it :)

  • Has anyone seen the women's boxing?  What do you think of it?

     

    Personally, I'm not so keen to see women boxing.

    I'm not a big fan of women's boxing either. Women are rather delicate creatures and seeing them punching one another does look kinda weird.

     

    However, I enjoyed watching "Million Dollar Baby" ;)
