The London 2012 Olympic Games...

[KeithTalent]

AP Mobile sends out push notifications informing people of the olympics in real time.

Fuckers told me the Phelps results at 1pm, I won't be able to watch it until tonight at 11pm. It's not like there's any warning, phone vibrates, look at phone, oh look there's the update. At least put spoiler tags on it, fuckers.

Haha, wow, that's crazy.

If you're that concerned about spoilers, can't you just disable that app?

That's what I did after the first spoiler.

It's actually my GF's phone - I'm keeping her in the dark so she can be surprised tonight LOL. I've already given up - between ATOT and Drudge I already know everything that's going to happen tonight =X

You could always get hammered on listerine to the point that you have no idea of your surroundings; then all the events will seem new. But that's just stupid. Why would you even want to do that?

Because you'd have minty fresh breath and when you're vomiting it comes out minty fresh as well.

Pretty much the epitome of a "win win" type situation.

anyone have a link to a video of the opening ceremony? I missed it. Thanks

watch it from bbc?

you need expat shield

I can't believe no one was talking about the women's gymnastics team competition.

I know, the USA dominated.

This time delay thing, how does it work for live sports?

 

[benzylic]

HIMYM did it for the superbowl.

I failed to do it for the Olympics.

 

[Balt]

Yeah, and she still got robbed IMO. At least it seems like they're being harsh with everyone.

yeah, not sure where they think she messed up. to my untrained eye looked perfect, landing especially no little hop.

She still received the highest score, 16.233. Everyone else was below 16.

I'm Olympic ignorant, so forgive me if I don't understand...

But how everyone celebrating Michael Phelps being the most decorated Olympian ever (or is about to be) such a big deal? There are like 20 different swimming events. I understand that there are different types of swimming strokes...but it's not like Kobe Bryant gets to compete in dunk/free throw/3 point shooting contests and a zillion other basketball events.

19 so far over 4 years is a pretty big deal, even if they are all swimming. Of course not as impressive as say getting them from marathon, swimming soccer and fencing combined, but it is still impressive nonetheless.

I agree. What would be more impressive is if the athlete competed in totally unrelated events like archery and table tennis and won medals. that's a true olympian.

simply put, no one else has been able to match it, whether that was because of scheduling or personal performance.

 

[sdifox]

watching men's individual archery.

This is fucking insane. The arrow wobbles like crazy on the flightpath.

 

[SheHateMe]

USA Women's Gymnastics took home the Gold. Take that, China!

I agree, I don't really care about swimming for that reason. They make an event out of every combination of swimming strokes, then do it again for the women, then do it again as a relay.

Dressage? Isn't that where they just ride a horse around in a circle?
