Tommy G Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Anyone looking forward to watching this? I don't have a massive interest in Olympic sports but usually become fascinated when it comes around. Shame we don't have any real medal contenders. In my opinion i would have liked to have seen Chambers go, he would have given us a sniff at least. Have to say my favourite event to watch is 4 x 100m relay. Hopefully the smog of Beijing won't hinder it all

Father Ted Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 I'm not a keen fan but really looking forward to it. Phillips Idowu And Mark Foster will be carrying the flag. Mark Foster is my hero.
bigneville Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 I will get up and watch the Hockey at whatever hours of the morning its on at. Other than that, when at home, the Olympics will be on in some form on my TV. I love watching all the sports that don't get TV coverage normally.

Head Honcho Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Thought we had quite a few? We do! I predict 42 medals in all with 12 being gold.

isaidno Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 I think were going to do really well this year. The cycling team should do really well, we usually do well in sailing and show jumping. Sotherton, Idowu & Ohorougu have a chance in track & field
Father Ted Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Let's hope he doesn't pick this one up by mistakeFlag He's gay???
Head Honcho Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 He's gay??? Well he had a smile on his face on TV a minute a go!
purpleronnie Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 All this build up for people like Phillips Idowu, I can see him choking it. Hope I'm wrong. I read online GB team are predicting us to do better than the last one, which will be some achievement because we did pretty well. 10th overall I think. Lets hope our sailors and shooters are up for it. edit:That last bit reads a bit weirdly.....you know what I mean.
Lovejoy Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 The beach volleyball is obviously the highlight of the Olympics !

It's pathetic really. I think I'm right in saying that his record jump for 2008 wouldn't have beaten the world record in 1975.
Scaramanga! Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Possibly the filthiest football headline of the summer. http://www.olympic.org/uk/index_uk.asp At the top.
The Reverend Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 I have never took any interest in any Olympics in the past (strange, because i love watching sport). I might watch some of this.
purpleronnie Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 It's pathetic really. I think I'm right in saying that his record jump for 2008 wouldn't have beaten the world record in 1975. Really? Thats pretty amazing.
lildave3 Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Yeah i'm looking forward to watching it. Doesn't it start today (unofficially) ?
Joinesy77 Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Can't wait to see Michael Phelps in the pool. He is the best athlete at the games by far and will be the story of 2008! Would be amazing if he could get 8 golds in 1 olympic games!
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 7 August 2008 Posted 7 August 2008 The football starts tonight Olyroos v Serbia ..........go boooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssss
ozleicester Posted 7 August 2008 Posted 7 August 2008 Olympics... cough drugs cough cough cheats cough Waste of time, not to mention appalling that the money laundering greedy b*stards that are the IOC selected the country with the worlds worst human rights record as the location to hold this dismal example of all that is wrong with professional sport.
Manwell Pablo Posted 7 August 2008 Posted 7 August 2008 Watching Brazil Belgium at work, can't beat watching football at work.
purpleronnie Posted 7 August 2008 Posted 7 August 2008 I read a british boxer has been sent back home after failing to make the weight.
Fox You Forest Posted 7 August 2008 Posted 7 August 2008 Watching Brazil Belgium at work, can't beat watching football at work. What channel?
