2012 London Olympic Games

[Rodzilla]

so this is the thread to discuss the upcoming games

i personally think everyone should put a $100+ bet on the Australian gold medal market (that they will beat the line, which is around 13.5 gold medals), its a great way to assist with the enthusiasm in my opinion

so now im looking around for potential australian gold medal winners, a few in the pool etc

also foxtel is going to have a great supplimentary coverage for sports subscribers, because i suspect that channel 9 will suck

Only care about the bball and football. Everything else is gay.

- James Magnusson in the 50m/100m pool events : He looks like he's good for a couple.

- That Sally hurdler girl ... she's a $1.50 favourite.

- We got a good shot in the long jump for mens.

- The ladies basketball team.

- Sailing .... we'll get about 4/5 there.

- Hockey : Mens/Womens ... we're good for one maybe both.

- Stay away from betting on the pole vault guy though ... he's got the yips bad !

A financial interest is always good, In anything.

Just hoping Maccas bring out some more collector glasses, 3 of my Beijing ones smashed.

il be betting on tyson gay and asafa powell in the 100

 

[Rodzilla]

i think everyone had my idea, the line betting for over 11.5 gold medals is very short

you could get good value by betting under 11.5 now but its unpatriotic stuff

anyways wtf is wrong with steve hooker, i have a weird feeling he is faking these problems to appear more successful when he overcomes it

i understand that it is dangerous etc but i see he has already made documentaries and media appearances to make sure his problems are well known

Got a couple of good shooters too.
Should get a couple in the velodrome.
Were always competitive at rowing and should be a chance.
And the girl on the Coles ad is the world champion floor gymnast (don't ask me how maybe the USA and china didn't compete?).
Also (and I know it's gay) equestrian.

Australia will struggle for Gold at these games.

 

[UmoGus]

[Weak Gutted Dog]

Track cycling we should win a couple and female triathlon a good chance

Womens beach volleyball hasn't started yet mate.

Big crash in the cycling before. Took out quite a few riders. Just watched the kiwis smash the world record in rowing. They beat it by 6 seconds!!! Apparently undefeated since Beijing. 15 races straight or something. Aussies about to start now

yes it had, there was china v russia and czech v some other country

 

[vietorious]

Want to watch the 100m. Waiting around so long just to watch a race that will end is less than 10sec.

 

[El_Magic]

Pretty sure that was normal volleyball. There was no beach on any of the foxtel channels

 

[Shanked]

they were beach on london4 i think check the schedule

 

[Rodzilla]

yeah Australia vs Brazil in basketball tonight at 8, important game

Aus v NZ in the hockey shortly

 

[the_crusader]

the judo was pretty awesome

a russian dude won a gold medal with one move it was awesome

 

[Dex]

Not good signs for Australia. Lost the Brazil in BAsketball and missed out in the 4x100m relay..

On a side note, farken the dream team look unstoppable..i think Spain will be the only country who have a chance against them..
