2012 Summer Olympics Thread: London July 27 - August 12

[kdawg]

so softball and baseball got kicked out the olympics but they let this horse dance crap in? and why the **** is shooting a olympic "sport"?

They took a bunch of good cycling events out too - to add fairly stupid things.

I don't have so much of a problem with the shooting and eventing though - they're traditional Olympic sports.

It's when they talk about adding golf and tiddlywinks that I get irritated. There are way too many shooting and some other events too - you don't need so many permutations. Too many medals available which devalues them IMO.

Feels great to live in this era of the Olympics. No other Olympian has dominated like Phelps

Team USA Basketball is probably the most dominating Olympic team ever, besides their 04 collapse.

Swimming just has a lot of events you can enter to win multiple medals.

Not trying to take anything away from Phelps though, homie is the truth.

On another note, hes excellent at interviews, which a lot of athletes lack. He's pretty likeable.

Y'all dudes serious about horse dancing being an actual Olympic event?

 

[je ne sais quoi]

Have some class, toine.

It's called dressage.

It's when fine people, such as I, revel in fine wines and cheeses as we watch masterful riders command majestic beasts into c-walking.

 

[champcruthik]

Swimming Fans: Do you really believe Phelps' declaration that the 100m Fly was his last individual Olympic event ever? I don't.

 

[je ne sais quoi]

4 years is enough time to get that itch for competition, glory, and gold again.
