The Olympics

[CM]

Not long to go now

Looking foward to:
Athletics, Swimming, Boxing, Cycling, Rowing, Hockey,

Will cast an eye over
Archery, Badminton, Basketball, Canoe/kayak, Sailing, Football, Gymnastics, Handball, Tennis, Baseball, Shooting

Not for me: Softball, Table Tennis, Wrestling, Weightlifting, Equestrian, Fencing, Judo, Modern Pentathlon, Taekwondo, Triathlon, Volleyball

GB were tipped to finish 4th in one article I read but I'd be happy with a steady top 10 finish with 10 golds.

I'm particularly looking forward to the women's weight lifting.

Some of the snatches are amazing.

I'm with you on that except the posh sports of horses, hockey and any kind of shooting. I could get interested in shooting if John Woo was allowed to change the rules.

I love the Olympics, the best in the world at loads of different sports. Particularly looking forward to watching Usain Bolt hope he doubles up, the guy is unbelievable he ran 45.28 for the 400m last year as well possibly the most talented sprinter ever. If he gets a decent start in the 100m he is quicker than Gay and Powell through the line. Can he get near the near Johnson's 19.32.

Having done a bit of gymnastics and weightlifting in my time I'll be watching those as well.

 

[Jeff]

he is quicker than Gay

I thought Carl Lewis had retired.
