The Official XXIX Summer Olympics Thread

i know this has been said...but they 4X100 relay was amazing. never thought i'd be yelling at the tube for us to win in swimming.

btw, what did the French say about beating the US in this race? Heard they were talking smack?
 
whoever gets the first picture posted of the French with their hands in their face gets massive cool points from me

That was an incredible race. How do you think Michael Phelps feels rubbing it in? That picture of Phelps rubbing Frenchy's head is priceless along with the looks on the French's faces. :)

Just watched the women's polo match vs China. I can't believe I was actually getting into a water polo match.
 
I just watched the replay of that relay twice, it's still amazing. I can't imagine anything topping that in these games.
 
Just to put it in perspective, Lezak's split was 46.06, the world record for the individual 100m is more than a full second slower, I know there are some timing differences, but that is flat out in-credible.

The record was actually set earlier in the race.

i haven't watched anything yet, but the opening ceremonies........and they were spectacular.........
 
That 4x100 was just incredible.
Yes it was.

Isn't it funny how something like swimming is right up there with trick shot billiards for 4 years, but then the Olympics roll around and it will make you come off the couch?
The beauty of the olympics

i liked how the one dude jumped up in front of Phelps to make sure his mug got on TV.
Yeah, my wife and I laughed about that.

The look on the guy's face on the right is priceless. Sacrebleu!!
 
I couldn't believe I fell asleep before the mens 4x100 medley relay. I got to work this morning and my pal John told me it was a great finish. I jumped on youtube watched it, what a way to finish a race. I would have loved to have watched it live though. The frenchman should have kept their mouths shut.
