Jamin4u Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Anyone in London going to the Games? Anyone worldwide just watching the Games? I like Track and Field and Gymnastics. Being from the USA, I'm looking forward to Lolo Jones redeeming herself from the 2008 Beijing stumble she had in the 100 meter hurdles. Go Lolo! Remember the time zone differences. No spoilers!

Fluffy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hey Guys Have you tried watching the Olympics from the BBC sports webpage ? many games are live..it`s free http://www.bbc.co.uk/2012/ and we don`t have "commercial breaks" !(or "we`ll be right back after these messages" Fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted August 1, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2012 Watching avidly, and even enjoying sports I've never really been a big fan of. Like the rowing over the last couple of days, and the amazing pairs Gold medal today. Having been a biker of sorts for more years than I care to remember (racing days finished some time ago), I've also loved the cycling, especially after the recent World Championships and the Tour De France. Amazing stuff, and I enjoyed the opening ceremony as well, although I think you really had to be British to get it all. EDIT: I've been using the new BBC video player quite a lot Fluff.

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2012 I must say the BBC coverage is outstanding. Being able to switch between so many sports is great. Yesterday was our best medal day... remember guys over the pond we are just a little spec of a country size wise so we won't get as many as you Phelps medal tally is amazing, overtaking the lady who has held the record for the most medals for decades. I believe she was pregnant at one Olympics and hid the fact so she could compete.

Moderators DennisD Posted August 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2012 The guys in the Velodrome were amazing today, and Chris Hoy (Sir) has surpassed Steve Redgrave's (Sir) medal record. And the world records were just tumbling. Shame about Victoria Pendleton and Jess Varnish. Disqualified by millimetres, but rules are rules unfortunately.

Moderators Nergal Posted August 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2012 nope not censorship. It's about exclusive regional sports broadcast licencing. NBC/Universal has American exclusivity 2020 (so 2 more Olympics after this). 64 nations can watch live on YouTube, but not the u.s. on a separate note, I did not know trampoline was an Olympic sport, but those guys sure can jump. things NBC has shown live on their various channels that I've seen: Fencing, Trampoline, Mitt Romney's Horse, and football (which I'm fine with watching. Things NBC failed to show live (thus far) Phelps losing, Phelps winning, Russian gymnast falling (which NBC failed to show at all, thus removing the real reason the USA team won), most other notable events, opening ceremony ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

login123 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just watched the race for the gold in the mens' cycle sprint. Remarkable race, decisive win. Not sure about the time differences, so no names. And the young man from Mongolia, Tuvshinbayar Naidan, who won the silver in Judo about 45 minutes after he tore his left ACL. Simply amazing. To even stand up on a torn ACL is amazing. The Olympians are all heroes. Shows us the best in ourselves in character, sportsmanship, and just plain grit. My hat is off to them all, and to London for hosting the games. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ...

Moderators DennisD Posted August 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 7, 2012 The place I would have loved to have been these Olympics is in the Velodrome. Another amazing day of racing. These guys look quick on the TV, but to sit trackside must be nothing short of inspiring. It's a shame Vicky Pendleton couldn't have bowed out with a Gold. A great Olympics all round, which even the British weather couldn't put a damper on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedrake Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The closing ceremony... I'm sorry if I offend some people... but I found it to be pretty bad... It seemed like many of the "singers" weren't actually singing and were just miming. One good thing I found about it was the way they had the piano keyboard playing on the seats of the stadium, that was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
