That 4x400 is going to be close. I think GB could pull an upset with that crowd cheering it on. US will struggle to keep it's crown since their best 400 runner injured himself.

Not a chance we will win, I seriously doubt we would even get a medal.


Dont doubt GB ! I've heard you have secret McLaren shoes for your runners

I heard it was longbows.


I was surprised GB didn't do well in archery. What happened to the Welsh tradition of longbowmen?

Only thing that matters is the most recent championship. It's no good being the best a while ago, the only thing that matters is being the best now.

How long has this been in the Olympics?

Looks like a terrible sport only doe for crashing


It's more interesting than some Olympic sports around, not to mention that it does take technique, skill and power to pull off, so it's just as 'Olympic' as anything else.

And this is the first time BMX has been in the Olympics.


Everything at a high level requires skill and technique and power

Pokemon battling requires high levels of skill and technique

The Aussie world BMX champ hasn't had great results here so far. I haven't seen any of it though so not sure if he's been unimpressive or whether it means anything.

The GIRL world #2 looking the goods though. A token gold is required in one of these two events!!

God fucking damn I hate the dressage. I think it's the dumbest sport in the olympics. Nothing sums up the most embarrassing aspects of white people more than that event. The fact that that can win a gold medal of equal weight to the 100m sprint or the weightlifting is both horrifying and ludicrous. You're just riding a horse while it hops around out of time to some music for 5 minutes and everyone orgasms over it.

I was gonna respond to you in a logical way but then I read the word weightlifting. ROFL

PS : Dressage is a very difficult sport which rewards long term relationship between men and animal. The only sad thing is that you need to be rich to practice it.

where's my olympics for starcraft that shows the intricate relationship between man and mouse T.T

but in all seriousness though look at that horse I can't imagine how fucking hard it would be to teach that horse how to do that shit and then have the horse understand when it ends and when it can stop
