And predictably the English fans grab on to like Murray is one of there own, yet they are the first to point out he is actually Scottish when he usually loses.

its team gb and scotland is in great britain, why would we not celebrate his gold medal victory?

I think he meant more with regards to Murray losing in other tourneys that they're willing to disown him since he's a Scot, but when he wins it's an "English" victory.

That Maroney chick didn't get Gold on the vault.. was not expecting that.

Judges weren't going to let her win anyways. CONSPIRACYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[SGV]

100m was crazy today. 7 out of 8 guys under ten. The top 3 finishers were all in the bottom half in reaction time if I remember correctly.

You know the whole 'british when he wins, Scottish when he loses' thing is just a joke anyway, right? He was revered after his Wimbledon loss to Federer, I can't see how you'd think he was disowned.

That buzzer beater......what a shot Patty Mills! Representing my high school, my city and my country with pride! Taking down the previously unbeaten Russians is a big step for Australia!

 

[phalanx]

Murry reverted back to scottish in the doubles anyway :P
Australia did something?

We did belt your lot by 30 points in the basketball so there's that.

 

[phalanx]

Basketball doesnt matter, we dont play that

 

[zorbees]

Wow, that USA-CAN women's soccer match was wild. So stressful watching it.

 

[phalanx]

i still want to know how your knee can do that... then you can still move :O

 

[Phadunk]

[DM]

Murry reverted back to scottish in the doubles anyway :P

oh please, Robson was a fucking terrible, over-pressured 18yo mess and singlehandedly lost them that match

My girl Aliya Mustafina got it done on the bars tonight. <3

Also in diving it looks like China may not sweep if they can't pull their act together in the men's springboard...

 

[Magik]

Bolt needs some kind of bad-ass title like Ali now that he is also a legend.

Any suggestions?

 

[zorbees]

Didn't post earlier because I was too excited but:

CARLI LLOYD LEGEND

[Phadunk]

Anybody else going to be watching the TKD 80+kg finals at 10:30 PM London time?

 

[Mylo Xyloto]

So Jamaica just won men 4x100m relay and broke World Record.

 

[Zacchaeus]

Late: Hooray for Gabby winning something, she's a local

Current: I didn't know that Olympic Diving allowed mulligans but thankfully USA > Britain and for once USA > China. Hoorah

So, thoughts on the closing ceremonies? A lot of the music was kinda hit or miss, and I know here in the states NBC just insisted on showing athletes from the Netherlands repeatedly which was strange but overall I thought it was a jolly good show!
