I need to stop reading this thread.
It seems about 90% of the people posting in it see every event 2-3 hours before it airs on the west coast.

Is there a site (preferably based in the UK that will let you watch all the events of the Olympics on demand? Or is this the sort of thing to expect after the Olypics? Oh and pls....no "youtube it faggit"....)

Apparently in the US NBC has an On demand service.

BBC iPlayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer) has the Olympics on Demand for the UK, woo...

Anyone see the Women's 10000m? Holy shite those Africans can run, out of the top 6 for most of the race, 5 were Africans, and the Kenyan who won sprinted the entire last lap like a 200m runner; incredible.

In other news, i'm looking forwards to seeing who wins out of the 2 Jamaicans in the 100m final, whoever wins out of them will win.

I put £50k on Usain Bolt.

didureli?

At least its a safe bet I suppose....

Anyway, Team GB edge ahead in the Coxless (*giggles*) 4 to pick up a Gold, the third Olympics Mens Coxless 4 Gold in a row for team GB...

And now we're kicking ass at the velodrome, with at least one guaranteed Gold I believe in the Womens individual Pursuit and Chris Hoy dominating the mens kieren....

winRAR....

EDIT: Also the Swede who threw down his medal has been stripped of it....O_O

Seriously he smashed the record and at the end he was showboating, during the race.

He had the perfect opportunity to really make a really really quick time and he should have taken it. I suppose he'll beat this time easily down the road. Nobody has beaten Johnson's 200m record since 1996, If this guy can do 200m as good as he's done 100m then he should be able to beat that '96 record.

Why is it called GB and not UK. That's kind of a piss take for anyone from Northern Ireland.

Meh, Spain got raped by the US in basketball. At least they are the only team who can actually beat them.
