2012 Olympics

[sharkboy18]

Who on here is looking forward to the Olympics? I know I cannot wait for the Olympics to start, i'll be watching the Swimming and the athletics with intent, the gymnastics aswell. I wish it would hurry up and start.

Which sport and athlete do you think is our biggest chance of getting a medal this year and do you think we will be within the top 5-10 medal count? Your opinions?

 

[josh11223344]

Can't wait, will be watching everything.

I'm currently in the middle of a 5 week tafe break and the olympics start when I go back so that's crap timing as i'd be up all night watching it if I could.

i know Usain Bolt lost last night but watching the Men's 100m final is something special.

 

[josh11223344]

Yeah that's the highlight for sure, hopefully pearson can go 1 better.

 

[sharkboy18]

I reckon Steve Hooker our Pole Vaulter has a good chance of getting a medal this year, Pearson aswell has a pretty good chance, we have a good record on the athletics and the swimming

great britan > australia

god I hope not.

Also looking forward to the bball, both men and woman. The men are really weakened without bogut but I look forward to watching patty mills and dellevedova. The women will go well as usual.

 

[Mr Wright]

If only Kyrie chose Aus and not USA. He and Bogut drove the team to pick up a bronze.

in the basketball, i think that the big men for spain will be a good battle against usa's front court, having no dwight and bynum

If I'm home and some swimming or 100m sprints are on I'll prob tune in. But the Olympics don't really grab me since the days of Kieran Perkans. Used to love seeing him swim the 1500.

That was awesome. Doesn't get much better than that

That is just scary!

Yeah wrighty if kyrie chose us it would make the team so much more exciting.

you reckon they will play Lebron in the 4 or play Durant in the Melo role?

 

[Mr Wright]

you reckon they will play Lebron in the 4 or play Durant in the Melo role?

You'd think they'd put LeBron at the 4. The way he played inside against the Pacers/Celtics/Thunder shows that he is godly when he plays extended minutes down low. Against Spain it might not work as well, but LeBron has done a number on Pau defensively this past year.

Durant should be used a pure spot up shooter or a bail out situation where theres 5 seconds left on the shot clock. His reach on his jumper means it will go virtually uncontested in the olympics.

 

[Tatus]

The Olympics snuck up on me. I didn't even realise it was this year until like a week ago!

 

[sharkboy18]

Theres only about 10m or so days until the Olympics... Cant wait!!!
