This time of year, it is difficult watching tv Lots more things to do that are far more interesting. Some say to watch to support the athletes. Like if we dont watch them over the tv they wont be able to win

Del Potro sent him home in 2012 London as well, so I guess it was not all that surprising the second time... Some value might be find in the 200m Mens Butterfly swimming race before the semi-finals 2 be held a couple hours from now... Put your house/car/mother-in-law/lifesavings onto Phelps before it's not too late. None of the two hungarian guys swam with confidence and Phelps looked very comfy and laid back, i think this race is him to loose again. The odds does not says so, this is why I think he is value at this point.

dule - vu is not only djokovic , basketball player I was unpleasantly surprised last night , how could they play so poorly in key moments , I think it will not go well at the Olympic Basketball Tournament , as they have a positive result was good , when they started to lose not able to return to the match

Uzbekistan gymnast Oksana Chusovitina is competing in her seventh Olympics this year at the age of 41. She is the oldest woman to ever compete at the Olympics. I believe many of Oksana Chusovitina’s rivals in Rio were not even born when she appeared at 1992 summer Olympic in Barcelona.

not only Serbia , but also many other favorites on the summer Olympic Games are below their levels today handball players of Montenegro lost from Romania , I think they do not have a victory , yesterday I watched women's football usa against colombia , what to say colombian had 2 cross from free kick reached the 2 goals , goalkeeper from usa team is very beautiful girl, but as a goalie is a disaster , see what kind of goals received

Sitting in bed in a hotel room posting in this here forum and watching the men's all around gymnastics..... GB Hasn't won a medal in this for over 100 years.... We're in with a chance with two Brits who are giving it a good go, but it's not and tuck at the moment. Fingers crossed we can do it!

Considering all the money which started pouring into certain sports in Britain right when they knew London won the bid for the Olympics so they have to compete so many levels above their usual - it not really a surprise GB now has many capable sportsmen and women to compete 4 medals in areas they weren't really keen on participating before... Congrats 4 that bronze!

Despite the cynicism about pumping money into sport, one of things that the olympics has generated is a whole load of interst in sports of all kinds in UK. So much so that many lard arses have got their asses from in front of the sofa and have taken up a sport... Invarriably it's a sitting down sport, cycling, rowing etc but hey it's sport...... And being third on the medals table is right up there where we belong. Keep moving Britain.
Who do you guys think is gonna win the male tennis finals? Andy Murray or Juan Martin Del Potro?
Normally I would say Murray wins easily but Del Potro has been playing awesome tennis in this tournament. Taking out Djokovic and then Nadal was pretty impressive!!
But Murray is one tricky guy and has the perfect style to counter his... we'll see I guess ^^

Andy already has this title from 2012 so I think the game was more important for Del-Potro especially seeing that his country may not have this much of a shot for a gold on this olympic games again.

Did you see that game? 4 hours of awful and yet brilliant tennis from two guys who looked like they wanted to both win it and let the other guy win it at the same time. Full of action, great play and some amazing errors. It was hard to call a winner but the GB machine keeps rolling on! Second in the medals table!
