2012 London Summer Olympics

[Rhyis.]

Always watch judo, rowing, women's volleyball, and track.

Daily Telegraph said that Michelle Jenneke didn't manage to qualify for the Olympics, so I'm kinda sad, means I've gotta find someone else to leer over.

I can't wait for the Olympics to be over, the hype and the waste of money is beyond belief. Although I was planning on seeing some of the events that my friend had tickets for, but he disappeared off the planet weeks ago, so no road trip down to London for me.

Swimming, Waterpolo, Fencing gogo '-'/

I know someone rather annoyed as her husband's landed a stint as a volunteer helping with the women's beach volleyball...

I'm sick to death of the bloody thing already - will probably have it on the TV as background noise only, while the local news goes into its usual degree of hysteria about any of Team GB who once visited the area yadda yadda.

Yeah I think those guys just stand on the side to help with wedgies and such

I'd like it more if it didn't have the weird chanting in the background overpowering Matthew Bellamy's vocals.

So while watching USA Vs Argentina, I found myself cheering for Argentina. At first I thought it was because of Manu(who was balling on Team USA), but now I want Spain to win. I think its because the douchebag factor is so high on Team USA, I just can't cheer for them.

[Chrius]

I'm taking a they're playing for America and not themselves route. Whether it's true or not is beyond my caring.

I blame Melo..just imagine how bad it would be if Wade was there also!

[TheDangerousDave]

I'm looking forward to the Martyr, Car Bomb and Chest Bomb events the most.

[tisiphone]

Need more riots like last year.

Was on espn3 also but yeah

Team USA looked good though, but Spain isn't really the same without Marc Gasol. I just wish Rubio was healthy too, that would be a heck of a matchup

Greece's triple-jump champion was expelled from the Olympics after posting a tasteless tweet about Africans and the West Nile virus.

Hellenic Olympic Committee officials announced Voula Papachristou wouldn't travel to London after she tweeted a joke about African immigrants.

On Monday, the track athlete posted a tweet reading, "with so many Africans in Greece, at least the West Nile mosquitos will be eating food from their own home." The comments created an uproar on Greek social media. Papachristou didn't address the criticism on Twitter for two days.
