Somehow half-price won't be enough of a discount for the frenchies.  Personally, I was hoping Singapore would get it.  No offense to New Yorkers, but there was NO WAY that New York would get it because the IOC doesn't like having two consecutive Olympics on the same continent, and with Vancouver/Whistler getting the 2010 games, New York was effectively knocked out of the running 2 years ago.  The IOC just waited until this morning to make it official.

Yah, that's one reason I didn't want London to get it. I hated it when I wanted to watch Winbledon and found out that no game was on today because of the rain. They will need roofs everywhere. and Paris has such nice weather... :(

I watched some part of Brit's presentation vid today. It looked very cool. Anyone know where I can get a full vid?

Maybe this is it: http://www.webcast.ukcouncil.net/hosted/london2012/

It was a cool video with the construction worker doing the javeline. and the guy in the Iverson jersey.

completely feel sorry for Paris. It was like London just came in and mainpulated the votes with Beckham and Blair.

indeed! Blair is the master of the RETCHID POLITIK!!!

I don't think Madrid helped london too much. moscow would help madrid.
It was new york city supporters that really loaded votes into london's camp.
if it had been Madrid VS london in the final... thinks might have turned out differently. Paris were the masters of the ABSOLUTE NOT RETCHID POLITIKK!!!

After these terror attacks in London this morning, I think it's obvious that there should be thoughts of possible linkages to the announcement.  If the chosen had been France, I wonder if this tragedy could have been avoided all together.

I doubt it. If they are linked then logically Paris would have gotten hit instead. I think it has more to do with the G8 meeting honestly.

Like I said in "London terror" thread. I'm sure there's no connection between bombing and olympic games. This kind of act needs planning and preparations... and it takes more than a day.

Post by: Kobasew on July 08, 2005, 08:06:41 AM
Heh that's true...maybe not really linked with the olympics.
How about the whole Iraq situation?  I mean, it was no secret that France wanted no part in going into combat with the U.S. (which might have lowered the chances of France being hit in anyway)
Could that be a bit of motivation behind the attacks in London?  And yeah, G8 summit seems to be the most likely reason.

Absolutely. The Madrid bombings are a good example. They were well timed and achieved a direct political purpose (basically knocking Spain out as a US ally in the war on terror). Ditto here.

From what we've seen, part of the plan is to divide the opposition by only attacking countries that actively oppose them (at least for now).

Fucked up doesn't mean inefficient.


Fortunately the British people and law enforcement have been through this before and know how to handle it. They stood up to the IRA planting bombs around London for 20+ years after all...



And yes Junkie LONDON ROCKS! I've only been there for a couple short visits, but it's unquestionably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and the people in London (especially at Heathrow) and the most helpful and friendliest you'll find anywhere. I should start sharing some 'Nice Londoner' stories. :)

Alright gentlemen the games have begun, and pretty soon there will be a LOT of asses hanging out of leotards. :shakeit: I am endeavoring to collect as many pictures of Olympian ass, nipple prints, and fat camel toes as possible. Why, cause it gets a rise out of me. I think that athletes are overlooked as sexy women / fap material... Lets see if anyone else wishes to share pics they find of awesome shit.

Here are some images to start shit off, not all pertains to the 2012 Olympics, just it gets some images in this thread. :cow:

So far the opening was okay, but unfortunately the chinese set the bar kinda high... which I don't feel london reached. But it was still cool, and mr.bean was priceless. So I hope to come back and share more pics from swimming diving, rowing, volleyball, gymnastics, and track. Talk about  :hipheart: ass effect :drool:

I recorded the opening ceremony, but due to the delay it didn't record the finale. D'oh!

But yeah, definitely better than what I was expecting! It's full of British culture and the whole thing felt very lively and free. Quite the contrast to Beijing, which was typically Chinese and epic in its own way.

I don't have much of a problem with having to have a cable subscription in the US to watch events live online, but the televised events are on tape delay. Sure it would help for people's sleep schedule but personally I want that live. I'll figure out how to deal with a messed up sleep schedule.

Well sorry guys no great nipple prints, but there was a slight bit of ass and some kinda cute chicks. I hope you can enjoy... There will be many more days. Even if the first sucked. Diving should be good, and volleyball should have some more winners.

Man, Canadian Olympic coverage is being split between 4 separate TV channels.  All of them are owned/run by the same cable channel conglomerate, and each one is covering a different event at any one time.

Japan won the bronze medail (first ever medal in women's archery) with a bronze in the team event, coming from behind in the match with Russia to decide the bronze.

Japan had lost to South Korea earlier, and South Korea went on to defeat China for the gold medal, the seventh straight time for South Korea.

Japan team was Ren Hayakawa, 24,  Miki Kanie, 23,  and Kaori Kawanaka, 20.

Congratulations to all three teams!

Big congratulations to Japan's first gold medal winner of the London Games- Kaori Matsumoto in the 57 kilo weight division of women's Judo.
In the final match, Matsumoto won due to disqualification of her opponent, Corina Caprioriu of Romania, for an illegal attack from behind.
Kaori kept a stern fact throughout her matches, and finally broke into tears after knowing she had won, and then into a broad smile on the medal stand.

From the Yomiuri Shimbun: "I couldn't have won this medal by myself. The support I received gave me strength," said Matsumoto, 24.

Previous olympics they got a gold medal. This season they won from Belgium and Japan in the poule matches. I'm curious how this will continue.

Rosie MacLennan has captured Canada's first gold medal of the 2012 Olympic Games,  winning the women’s trampoline competition on Saturday.

But her dear friend and teammate Karen Cockburn finished just off the podium in fourth.

MacLennan of King City, Ont., beat 2008 defending Olympic gold medalist He Wenna of China, who appeared to be well on her way to repeating until she tumbled at the end of her routine and wound up with bronze behind her teammate Shanshan Huang, who took silver.

One of the nicest moments of this Olympics.....Japan womens table tennis team versus a very good Singapore team....The team that wins this match is guaranteed to win a medal..............(although China will go on to defeat Japan for the gold, the team silver medal was a huge success for Japan. Singapore went on to win the bronze).......
Japanese team is made up of Ai Fukuhara, who has been famous since being a child prodigy in Japan, but as a teenager, she moved to China to play in the table tennis league there to improve her game. A very good speaker of Chinese, she has been a great example of people to people diplomacy. Ai, now 23 years old, plays singles as does Kasumi Ishikawa (19). Ishikawa teams up with Sayaka Hirano (27) for doubles.

Congratulations China, Japan, and Singapore!

Ai Fukuhara, Kasumi Ishikawa, & Sayaka Hirano

It seems that despite the badminton controversy, China is still getting medals left and right.  Yeah, table tennis is like half the reason they have as many medals as they do.  I'm just hoping the U.S. can keep it really close at least.  I'd hate to see China just run away in the medal count.

Well done London you put on a great games. I'm always sad when the Olympics are over.

But I feel satisfied, US did well and "dream team 2" won the Gold. But I think my favorite moments were the men's and women's 4x100 relays blowing away the world records and that shooting display in the US-Nigeria basketball game. HOLY SHIT 50 points in the first quarter, Carmello 37 points in 12 minutes of playing time, 29 threes in only 10 min quarters (previous record was 13) 75% shooting. I was laughing at the absurdity. :shocked

There will never be anything close to that ever again.

Tunisian Olympians targeted by Islamist radicals
Associated Press | Aug 14, 2012 12:44 PM ET | Last Updated: Aug 15, 2012 11:32 AM ET

TUNIS, Tunisia — Islamist extremists have targeted two Tunisian Olympic medalists for behaviour and dress seen as un-Islamic, as debate grows over the role of religion and women in the country that unleashed the Arab Spring uprisings.

Radicals on social media networks called on the government to strip Habiba Ghribi, the first Tunisian woman to win an Olympic medal, of her nationality because her running gear was too revealing. She won the silver in the 3,000-metre steeplechase.

And a Facebook campaign by extremist group Ansar al Chariaa is targeting swimmer Oussama Mellouli for drinking juice before racing during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Mellouli won gold in the 10-kilometre marathon and bronze in the 1,500-metre freestyle.

Tunisia is run by a moderate Islamist-led government that is facing increasing challenges from religious extremists.

FFS, next thing you know, these extremists will be saying that the Olympics themselves are discriminating against Muslims because they held the games during Ramadan.
