Did anyone watch the doco on Usain Bolt on SBS the other night? Apart from being a freak athlete he's quite a funny guy.

 

[Mr Wright]

Usian's been struggling of late, I hope he hits form and breaks his records in the 100/200m.

Good character.

 

[Beejay]

Bring on the table tennis!

 

[snowman]

DrunkDazz could rep Australia in Table Tennis, that i have no doubt about

Good character.

Yeah he came across very well. Has he been struggling with injury or just poor form?

 

[Mr Wright]

Poor form, was beaten in both the 100/200m at the Jamacian trials by his biggest threat. Makes it more interesting though.

 

[HaroldBishop]

True. Had a look at the schedule, actually works out quite well for us. Plenty of finals are an at around 6-7am in the morning.

 

[snapper]

Can't see any records being broken in the running unless the rain goes away.

 

[Gil]

Is it finished yet

 

[SF]

Love the opening ceremony so far... So much for them to pick from in terms of history, music, culture and stars, but have done a good job. Hope the rest of the Olympics is as good, and that the media stop whingeing about London now!

Australia's women's 4x100m freestyle relay team have won Australia's first gold medal of the London Olympics on Saturday.
Alicia Coutts, Cate Campbell, Britanny Elmslie and Melanie Schlanger finished ahead of the Netherlands with the US in third.

Party girl Rice surrendered her Olympic 400m individual medley title and had her world record shattered as Chinese teenager Ye Shiwen powered to a stunning victory in London on Saturday.
Rice was sixth as 16-year-old Shiwen produced a remarkable final 100m to blow the field away and clock four minutes 28.43 seconds, more than a second faster than the Australian's mark (4:29.45) set winning the event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
American Elizabeth Beisel (4:31.27) was second ahead of China's Li Xuanxu (4:32.91) in third.

bball's started well for the women, solid win.

We went decent in the early stages of the rowing aswell.

I hope to see Rickard and Sprenger do well in the final tonight, it will be good to see one of them come on the podium, definately both though

Why are the Aussie swimmers wearing different colour caps?

 

[slide rule]

Why are the Aussie swimmers wearing different colour caps?

It's fuggin annoying when they wear the white. Nearly every country is wearing white and it's near impossible to tell who's who.

 

[A.Snowden]

You can tell when the blimp is in the water. surprised she scored 3rd place.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Good on Liesel Jones for sticking it up the media. Finishing 5th in an Olympic final, awesome job.

@gando, the white caps are made with some new fancy material whilst the gold caps are the older fabric. Why Speedo couldn't make the new caps in gold is beyond me.

 

[josh11223344]

How good is the bball... loving both the womens and mens.

Bad luck to the boomers, fairly good result against a team with the majority of the starting team being NBA players. Next up spain...

Opals had a loss last night, absolute miracle shot to tie it up haha

 

[gando2230]

Thanks Harold yeah its not like Speedo didn't have time or money to make them they have had 4 years....

 

[jeebazz]

Boomers are doing it tough in the second half against Spain
