London 2012 Olympic Competition
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
Robert Grabarz wins bronze for GB. London 2012 with 48 (22 gold) officially more successful than Beijing with 47 (19 gold).
Felix is a joy to watch, it all looks so supremely effortless.
I haven't been on for about a week due to the computer having a nervous breakdown ,I did try on my phone but I have fat fingers and eyes like Morroco Mole.So anyway I bought a laptop today (on the knock ) .
I managed to get free tickets to last weeks' women's match in Cardiff between Japan and South Africa,not much of a game to be honest it finished 0-0 but the occasion was very special.As I said to the kids at the end you have now been to an Olympic Final........group stage game.

Fred Evans through the semi finals in the welterweight boxing, so guaranteed a bronze.
Thought he'd thrown it away then, boxed amazingly in the first round but completely took his foot off in the 3rd especially.

feckkkk, another dodgy decision in the boxing. Ukrainian Shelestyuk wins against Frances Vastine, awful decision IMO. Vastine boxed amazing in the last round and it was tied going into it.
What is going on with those Olympians from Cameroon who disappeared?
Jenn Suhr, local gal wins Gold for the US in the Women's pole vault. Well done.
Only if local means the Twilight Zone.
Paddy Barnes:
Come on Katie!! Bring it home girl!
This is good. Eeveryone in the office downed tools to watch the fight. C'mon Katy...
Im actually pretty nervous about this
Come on Katie! Our only real shot at gold in the whole olympics.
Nicola Adams wins and will fight for a gold medal.
Support for her is immense there.
She's just too quick for the other girl so far.
Peter is a fantastic coach for her too, what a team they make.
Yep, she is way too fast for her at the moment, faster hands and faster feet.
Our RTE Player is down. fecking typical
I dont know why she is trying to goad taylor into fighting, Taylor really bringing it to her now, landing some cracking punches.
feck I love Irish fans, that is epic!
I watched Katie Taylor the other day and she really is an exceptional boxer.
Yes, delighted with that
Yay, Ireland.
Pleased for the Caf

Not bad looking for a female Irish boxer
I fecking hate RTE.
They must have known half the country would log on at 2pm. But no their player crached on the button
Fecking annoying. I am in bray and most of the office went up to watch it on the big screen. I stayed to cover phones
feckers

Amir Khan making a complete fecking tit of himself. "Katie Taylor, erm, is now, erm, guaranteed an, erm, bronze medal."
No, you fecking retard, she's guaranteed a silver. She'll also win the gold, which is more than you ever did you overhyped piece of shit.

She's class. So slick and well balanced.
I remember watching my first female boxing match a few years ago through my fingers. It just seemed so wrong. Don't get that vibe at all now. Weird the way what seems strange can normalise so quickly.
You're in Bray? Heh, about 30km from me. She's from Bray, isn't she?
There's a video out there of her sparring with one of the male Irish boxers (Barnes, maybe?) and she's clearly a step up from him. I reckon she'd kick the shit out of most (if not all) of the male boxers in her weight class too.
We were watching it on a stream from the official olympics website (I think). Commentary was via RTE radio, with at least a 20 second lag between video and audio. Not ideal. Poor auld Jimmy Magee got completely overcome with emotion in the closing seconds.
Not as bad as the daily telegraph claiming she is british. What a blunder that was.
She is, I was actually taken aback by her skill and technique level.
After seeing Ann Wolfe fight I realised that these boxing women are made of some serious stuff.
Points refereeing in this other semi-final is very strange. I don't know that much, but it seems clear to me that the Brazilian is winning, yet they're scoring her worse?
Jimmy Magee's a babbling idiot.
Bmx is weird at the Olympics , keep expecting to see a ten year old when they remove the helmets.
That fall was brutal. Goodnight, ribs.
Yep that was a nasty crash.
