Post in here anything of note / interest.

The 100m Mens should be unreal with 4 of the fastest men ever all in - you could say 5 of you wanted to add a fella who was a drug cheat. I am thinking that a Jamaican quniella is on the cards - its paying $1.50 - get on board!!!

There is another reasonable bet in the cycling - Mark Cavendish to win the road race and Bradley Wiggins the time trial at $3.25 - both Poms though No doubt SP will be all over this one.

Lots of chatter about who will lead them out - chicks are all favourites

Leisel Jones
1.80
Lauren Jackson
3.75
Natalie Cook
5.00
Anna Meares
7.00

Not sure if Cook deserves it after her performance this week and lots of chat about Leisel (no I will not post the photo(s) as this will be her 4th Olympics (first female swimmer to do so) but I do not think her results / performances at the Olympics are up there to be considered.

Looking forward to the games - I had a ball during the Sydney event but did not watch the Greece event as I was on the road and saw only bits and pieces of the China games. The time zone will be good for us this year as in the morning you will get to see all the replays etc whilst having breakfast and not having heard the results. Not too mention a few live events as well.

Hope NZ gets a Gold early (or just any medal for that matter) on for a change so I do not cop too much of a bashing from you Aussies

The only thing I know about the Olympics right now is that I am dissapointed that Michelle Jenneke won't be dancing I mean running in the hurdles. A must see for anyone that has missed this so far.

I am indeed Ted..

Cancellara for the time trial. Wiggins will be top 3 but should get beaten by Cancellara and Martin is pretty good to, then id say chris froome and tj Van Garderen to round out the top5. but the difference will be less than .5 of a km/h between them all.

Cavendish for the road race or possibly Louis Leon Sanchez.
And. The mountain bike, Peraud, he is french rode the tour De France but is a mountain biker.


For the flag..

I reckon Anna Meares

well i think the olympics is as corrupt, if not more so than fifa. people that have moved to oz because we are **** at something are in the team. convicted wife basher(m.diamond,shooter) in the team...etc etc i loved the idea when it was all about being a amateur and you wanted to do your country proud,then if you were good enough you would turn pro. i hate greed and the scum that grow in it

i rank it with the WWF
good theatrics but you struggle to watch a whole one!
there doesn't appear to be too much of the original creed flowing so i am less than impressed by all those athletes crowing for gold in the 9 ad for the games
having said that you it will beat the sh8t out of the wen hair ad and the ab wave

THE OLYMPIC CREED
Pierre de Coubertin got the idea for this phrase from a speech given by Bishop Ethelbert Talbot at a service for Olympic champions during the 1908 Olympic Games. The Olympic Creed reads:

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

Can't they give her a farkin wild card or something ? Who cares if she isn't fast enough to qualify for the olympics. Didn't stop Anna Kournikova from playing terrible tennis.

One to watch for is Javelin thrower Kim Mickle. I'm fairly sure she qualified.

Not just good with a Javelin

If you noticed she is wearing a towel Pup, you aren't concentrating - focus on the melons.
