avelanch Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Watching trampoline now. I never thought someone could top Destinee Hooker as the most hilariously unfortunate name of the olympics, but Dong Dong just took the title away from her.

avelanch Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 yep, he's in 6th, a couple missteps by the top ranked guys (like Dong x 2) and we might medal... i'd still be surprised if we medal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustJokinen! Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The Federer - Del Potro match just broke the record for longest three set match in the open era. 18 -17 Federer in the third set right now. What are the chances of having two of these in the same tournament? Edit: To clarify, that's longest time-wise. Tsonga - Roanic was longer in games.

ckamo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Wait, did Dylan Armstrong not qualify? I'm looking at the results ad there's I line right above his name.

Down by the River Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'd really like to see some downhill mountain biking added to the Olympics. Of all bike sports, it is definitely the most exciting and could help address some of the attendance issues. Who wouldn't want to watch things like this: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/8458032/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I would have thought that would be more of a made-for-tv sport? Wouldn't all the spectators just be at the finish line to see who wins? Or can they be along the course as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 it says here http://www.london2012.com/cycling-track/event/women-team-pursuit/phase=ctw402800/index.html that in round one we're paired off with GB. Does this mean that we have to compete against GB or are the pairings arbitrary and all that matters is your final time compared to the other countries' times? b/c if we actually have to beat GB then we're screwed. they just set the WR.
