17-year old swimmer Missy Franklin wears shoes size 13.

Mutant?

Sounds like genetic engineering to me!

I think our commentary is very knowledgable and unbiased compared to other countries.

No doubt some countries are extremely biased. And they only bother showing sports they compete in.

Theyre both dogs anyway

May as well show some leg while they're at it

Cavendish told the BBC man to fudge off asking stupid questions

 

[P.D.]

Nothing wrong with a bit of biasedness, not as though its being held in our own country or anything


Mental that events are still going on now, volleyball is just never ending.

This 19-year old from Kazakhstan set a new world record lifting 131 kg.

Because he was crying like a little bitch about losing.

The BBC commentators are decent. Gymnastics point in case today.

The US literally only show highlights of their medals.

If you watched the winter games over there you wouldn't think much of them. The only events would be figure skating, alpine skiing and ice hockey.

Just got tickets for rowing on Wednesday. Couple of medal hopes in the finals. £50. Looks like a right pain in the arse getting there mind!!!

**** REPORTER: “So what happened out there?” ATHLETE: “The other athletes finished the sporting event faster than me.”

The guy asked "if the Tour de France last week would have affected his performance today?"
Consider the majority of the other riders in the race just did the Tour de France too.
Cavendish walked off having to put up with such ridiculous questions and then came back with "do you know anything about cycling"

I honestly couldn't believe how the US show the Olympics when I first became aware of it in 2008.
They cover it like I imagine North Korea would.

Considering Team GB's tactics, does Cavendish?

How about that 15-year old Lithuanian swimmer girl taking gold last night?

What a pefrormance!


On a side note - how many of you saw the men's beach volleyball game between Switzerland and Russia - how did the umpire over-turn that last point on the line? Hawk-eye?
