London 2012 Summer Olympics
 

10 days or so away. Not planning on watching it, but I always get into it and get caught up in the frenzy.

Cheering for our Canadian athletes, of course.

I'm actually looking forward to rowing events and synchronized swimming :fullofwin:

whats THE sport for Summer games?

Hockey = winter

^grass hockey, LOL.

Basketball/100 meter

i love olympics time. theres always something to watch and theres a buzz in the air, it wont be like 2010 obviously but its still a fantastic time. its nice being about to turn the TV on and see coverage for a few weeks.

i still get a warm feeling thinking back to 2010 watching the 11pm news (or was it 10pm olympic news?) and seeing the results for the day. man that was a good time.

sucks how most events start in the middle of the night and are over by mid afternoon for us tho.

Bolt Phelps and soccer

for anyone wondering about the schedule.

^ Yeah, men's 100M is usually considered the premier event.

synchronized swimming ;)

I'm jk. But I am quite fond with the diving competitions.

can't wait to watch women's volleyball and beach volleyball

looking forward to sprint canoe and kayak myself

i enjoy the tae kwan do but it almost never airs on tv

and the boxing

beach volleyball, holy crap, how the hell did I forget about that? Tanned bodies stretching, diving, leaning over, legs apart with hands up in air, and..............

actually, it gets boring after a while.

Boxing used to be good, but officiating kind of killed it for me.

I was really hoping for the qwop event this year.. oh well

this is only the 2nd time i've read something about it (1st being the announcement of where they'll be). What fucking frenzy? lol

I used to love the olympics, but when you never watch live TV anymore, it's not quite the same.

I hope people rip more events and post them in full HD. I would really like to check them out. I love gymnastics, those people are amazing. Would like to watch more of the combat sports too, like judo and wrestling.

looking forward to both indoor and beach volleyball and weightlifting!

Other than the kick off event by Coca Cola at Canada Place last Fri/Sat,
does anyone know if theres any other London 2012 related events happening locally in Vancouver?

i loooove olympics

It's all about gymnastics baby!!!

I bet you're waiting for the hammer to fall. ;)

I only hope for the worst for London after they tried to rip Vancouver so hard during 2010

^ That's the British for you. They did the same thing at the Commonwealth games too. There was that one athlete who finished way back for Canada and his fans were cheering him on for putting in a good effort, and some ass clown British reporter was criticizing us for cheering someone who didn't even make the podium.

I'll probably be more into the Olympics than ever before because of 2010.

And yes, womens beach volleyball.

Bolt will be there, but he didn't win the Nationals.
