CLOSED - London Olympics

Re: London Olympics

I didn't think that the closing ceremony lived up to all the hype before it, yes it was good but I could easily have turned over to watch something else, best part for me was Queen with Jessie J, I loved The Who also but still it didn't sort of do it for me, the athletes are what made the games so successful but just watch the politicians jump on the band wagon to take all the credit for it.

Re: London Olympics

I have made a thread because I believe that the Paralympians deserve the same recognition as the Olympians.

There are again many events and I too am looking forward to this just as much.

Me too PF and shall be watching and posting on your thread

Re: London Olympics

I thought it was a brilliant closing ceremony. I am really going to miss my sporting fix, though perhaps I can now get on with some of the work that I have to do!!!

Re: London Olympics

Unfortunately I think it is going to be on Channel 4, so the television coverage will not be as good.

Re: London Olympics

If Tom Daly had achieved the same score 4 years ago he would have easily won gold! Unfortunately the event was of a very high standard.

Re: London Olympics

Ugh my husband said the same "he lost" but really the only looser is 4th place!! I mean any medal is medal.. he is young and was out dived.

but considering he had a SHIT qualifying he's done well!!

TEAM GB!

Tom Daley didn't lose...he won a bronze medal and only missed out on the gold by 12 points....nothing when the scores were 550/560. He looked so happy to get the bronze...none of the prima donna stuff you get with some other competitors.

Mo Farah's face was a picture when he realised he'd won the 5000 metres.

Re: London Olympics

Let's home we can hang on to third place, doing soooooooo much better than Beijing's Olympics
