The Olympics
 

I can't see a thread about the Olympics, so f*ck it, I might aswell start one :))

Anyone see the Hungarian guy in weightlifting? Make sure you're not eating when you watch the clip.

YouTube Video

Pud :twisted:

Says the video is no longer available:(

Well that sucks, lets try with this one.

YouTube Video

Pud :twisted:

bloody hell :shock:

The removed that one too...can somebody give a brief description of that video? LOL...

Yea i can't see that one either, Anji i expect a description on the phone tomorrow;)LOL..

Nor me, both are unavailable !

not the same vid but the pictures give the same sort of effect
poor guy!

:shock: :shock: :shock: :barf: That has got to hurt !!!!!!!!!!!!

OWCH :shock::shock::shock::shock: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NBC is broadcasting the Olympics, and evidently someone posted the video on YouTube probably without permission. So I imagine when NBC found out, they had it taken off.
NBC is maintaining very tight control. Shortly after the Olympics started, I couldn't get videos off the NBC Olympics site any more because they refused to recognize the major Cablevision area from where I receive my cable connection.
I sure hope the wrestler is able to walk.
UPDATE: Looked this accident up in Google; turns out his back is fine; he had pulled his elbow out of the socket, and that was why he was screaming. His back is fine. He's no doublt 'out' for the rest of the year, so the news article goes, but he's fine now.

lol ok but it is gross ;)

Should I ask for a description in December? Nah...think I shall pass...pictures were enough...

Anyone else feel a bit bad for that Chinese girl who sang the opening ceremony song but because she had a face like it had been hit with a wok got substituted for a much prettier girl?

Pud :twisted:

yeah...that sucks. China's defence was that they wanted the opening to be PERFECT!!!
Did that girls parents not have a slight objection???

hence the digital addition of the fireworks to the broadcasted opening ceremony as well, they were worried the smog would obscure them.

imagine the sound of the weights coming down then his screams and you're pretty much there ;) only thing those pics dont show really is the force the weights came down on him and his body shaking quite disturbingly after on the floor :?

It's got to be pretty devastating to be told you've spawned an ugly kid :retard: On the plus side though she was a pretty good singer, so she could get a job as a studio singer...LOL

Pud :twisted:

I don't just feel bad...I feel scared...it took me 1/2 hour to get terrified during opening ceremonies...that many Chinese THAT synchronized is terrifying for somebody who grew up in Soviet Ukraine...

They probably didn't...girls are considered very inferior in China anyway...you can even get a special permission for a second child if you're a farmer and have a girl...

Oh my god...and I thought you're such a sweet person...LOL...I don't watch any scary movies with you!!!

Don't know if anyone watched the 100m mens qualifying, but Usain Bolt practically jogged the 100m in 9.92 :shock: that kinda boggles the mind as to how fast he can actually go.

Pud :twisted:

Yeah saw that this afternoon, be interesting to see how fast he runs when he really tries, had to feel sorry for the Brit drawn against him in the same heat who looked like he was going to burst a few veins trying.

Saw that too. I've never seen anyone make it look so easy. Can't wait to see what happens when he turns on the power.

:twisted: I must comment on how well done the opening ceremony was 8) .

Routines involving up to a thousand people at a time in perfect harmony with every one of their fellows.
Complex performances requiring split second timing by all concerned to make it work.

Only oppression has the power to get people working together like that.

That's why if you ever watch the opening ceremony in a democratic country, it's bound to be shit :shit: .

"Beat that drum in perfect time, or you'll never see the trainee factory again" :bleh: .

I saw this weight lifting thingy happen live, i just looked and I went, noooooo, what the h*ll. And then I shouted, "You have to come see this." How awfull am I.

i feel RJ is particularly unsuited to the 100m hurdles ;)

But he's very good at booking tickets lol

I think he would win gold given that everyine else will be running in the 110m hurdles lol

Surely even rj could win with 10m less to run :p

omg how easy was that final for him :shock: even had time for posing just before finish line, that is scary!!!!

:silence:

I was forced to watch female marathon yesterday...true...during that time I've watched King of Queens during commercials, ate dinner, went out for ice cream...and they were still running...but hey...i've seen the ending...that poor Roumanian was like energizer bunny...she kept on going and going...poor woman just couldn't stop anymore...

if there was an olympic event for booking tickets, i don't think i'd win

It's kinda funny that 84% of Great Britains medals so far have been won when they've been sat on their arse...LMAO :lmao:

Pud :twisted:

it's our favourite passtime :twisted:

:twisted: Is it true the Italian athlete tried to surrender when they heard the starting pistol fire? :shock:

If it wasn't for Phelps' haul, Great Britain would have the same amount of Golds as the Yanks.

Pud :twisted:

It's nice to see us doing well but unfortunatly as these events finish its unlikely we'll get much more :( hope i'm wrong though.

I think GB has got at least another 3 Golds to come.

Pud :twisted:

We've stiil got quite a few hopefuls left and with London being next its a great incentive!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...9642.stm#mon18

And quite a few sitting down medals there so we have hope lol!!

i think thats a fair estimation. We really need to produce better on the athletics side though.

Tim Brabant was very impressive in the fla~~~~er canoe this morning, think there's a real chance of a gold there.

It is nice to see us doing better for a change..good luck to all out there...

That looks good then:-)

ok why was flat water squiggled in my above post?? :?

:lmao: just got it...... doh!!!!

Do you think we're being over censored LOL!!

probably but for some reason that made me lmao lol

simple things eh ;)

i was forced to watch the womens beach volley ball yesterday with me pints.. life can be tough lol

Ah you poor thing!! Will you need counselling lol?!!

yes probably... spoons had no guinness... poor

Same reason you can't say S~~~~horpe without squiggles :))

Pud :twisted:

I tookover moderation of a board for work (in a previous job) and whoever had responsibility before it before me, had set it up to replace certain words with the word "thingy"... wow betide you if you were a flathingyer canoe-ist from sthingyhorpe :?

lol

Female windsurfing bronze medallist gets the gold for the best interview yet apparently including:

"I'm so f***ing happy!"

The mens 5000m starts today ... watch out for the French athelete who runs in sandals, Phillipe Fl'op.

*groan* :roll:

Ok how come the Mens Beach Volleyball competitors dont wear skimpy outfits?!! I'm going back to watching the male sprinters lol!!

And accidently caught some of the synchronised swimming :shock: OMG weirdest thing ever lol!!

Watching a 10Km marathon swim is like watching a double episode of crab fishing on Discovery Channel, you've no idea why you're watching it but for some reason you HAVE to watch it.

Who'd have thought Great Britain could swim? :wtf: GB women win silver & bronze and the men (well man) win silver...F'kin hell 10 kilometers is a long way to swim :shock:

Pud :twisted:

almost 2hrs :shock:

wont even mention how far i could get lol was quite interesting seeing how they had a drink while swimming lol

Just hope they clean the duck shit out of the Serpentine before the 2012 10km race :shock:

lmao i'm sure there's worse than that in there :barf:

Lets hope they don't do anything off the coast of Blackpool :barf: It's like swimming the gauntlet of dogshit there :shit:

Pud :twisted:
