London 2012 - The Olympics !!!

[Smellmett]

Bolt just posting the 4th fastest 200m in history, pulled up before the line again, then dropping down for 5 press-ups. Appeared to be chatting up one of the race stewards seconds before getting down on the blocks too. The word 'Legend' is overused, but not on this dude, pure class...

Bolt was amazing again.
And Katie Taylor of course

Think we are closer to China in the medals table than Russia is to us! Also like how the German, French and Aussie totals combined would still be behind!

"We love you Kaaatie, we do, ohhhhh Katie we love youuu". What a diamond! Suck on your shitty silver medal Ivanka Draaaaaago

But you're in this thread so you know it's happening.

When my other half went to work on Monday he spoke to the woman he's working for about all the medals we'd won on Saturday and she hadn't got a clue about any of it

 

[parttime crackhead]

I think everyone in the UK knows it's happening Val, watching it is a different matter.

I'm waiting for there to be a good sport in it.

She obviously knew the Olympics was on, whether we have some medals or not...meh.

 

[dhcdavid]

So I heard that Team Geebee won 60 medals in total.

Considering the games cost us £9 Billion that equates to an outlay of

£150 Million per medal. Has it really been worth it?

 

[Albion]

Add on top of that how many cuddly mascots we sold to tourists and we're probably somewhere near the mark.

I've loved it, deficit or not. Olympics isn't really about the money.

 

[done juan]

gonna inspire a future generation apparently

 

[Mr Smokes Blunts.]

We do get most of that money back, we would make a profit if we didn't also host the paraolympics which we make a large loss on.

Put dynamos in their wheelchairs & recoup electricity costs

why is that?

 

[Mr Smokes Blunts.]

why is that?

I assume that the paraolympics costs a fair amount, but there is less interest from sponsors and the public at large? I know the TV rights and the tickets don't cost anywhere near the same amount.
