Of course men 100m will be one of the most exciting events. Even though Bolt will win it by miles.

But I would like to see this guy there.

Then I suggest you to watch the indoor women volleyball too, there are really nice girls there too.

I usually do but they're not as dominate as Walsh and Mae!!

Is it Friday yet? Let's get these Olympics started!

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

The Olympics are such a non-event for me and lost their luster a couple decades ago imo with the IOC being no different than elitist NCAA hacks.

It seems women's soccer is starting today, in spite of the opening ceremonies not being until Friday. Intersting.

Good match. I kinda got worried when France scored twice within the first 20 minutes, but I'm not sure why. We're too damn good. Our ladies kick ***.

Mary Poppins vs. Lord Voldemort? I'm definitely tuning in to the opening ceremony now. Gotta love the Brits!

Well that should be epic.

We won't get to see her at the Olympics because of a Tweet

The North Korean women soccer team has been offended: https://sports.yahoo.com/news/olymp...elays-match-after-south-korea-flag-error.html

She's not in the Olympics.

Are you serious? I demand a recount!

I think that race was the Jr Olympics or something.

Well, her performance was worthy of the gold medal (if not for hurdles at least for pre-race routine). The Olympic Committee should call her up and demand that she appear in London to resume her warmup. I look forward to tuning in to watch her run the hurdles, shoot archery, play beach volleyball, swim the breaststroke, do the clean and jerk, and compete in any other sport.

I bet a lot of people agree with this post. Deservedly rep'd.

Huh, the only Iranian athlete that may have had to face an Israeli withdrew from the games citing "stomach concerns." What a cowardly country.

Watching the opening ceremonies... I'm curious to see what the Brits do.
