I♥Wellwood Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cant wait for the games to start ! Definitely looking forward to watching all of the Canadian athletes, especially Adam Van Koeverden. Hopefully he'll get his fourth olympic medal this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'll post this in the correct thread this time I've never really enjoyed the Olympics. I'm not really a big fan of any of the sports, other than football. And Olympic football is a joke anyway, so the Euros are the highlight of my Summer where sports are concerned.

I♥Wellwood Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 MADRID - Canadian diving veteran Alexandre Despatie suffered a large cut to his head in a diving mishap in Spain, making his status for the London Olympics uncertain. The 27-year-old from Laval, Que., was hurt while performing an inward triple flip and struck the board with full force. Mitch Geller of Diving Canada says Despatie lost his balance and his head hit the end of the springboard, just below the hairline. Despatie was pulled from the water by lifeguards and his coach, Arturo Miranda, but Geller says the diver did not appear to lose consciousness. Despatie required surgery to close the wound and is expected to remain in a Madrid hospital under observation for at least 24 hours. Despatie, who has won two silver medals in previous Olympics, is not expected to compete in the Madrid Grand Prix this weekend, nor an event in Italy next week. His mother, Christiane, says the cut is about 10 centimetres long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've got £15k worth of tickets stashed at work. Shame I can't sell them on, the commission would be huge I went on the cable car earlier too. Never again -I hate heights and it was windy enough for me to regret getting out of bed this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is the official song of the 2012 olympics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt__jKWoYH8&feature=player_embedded#! compared to 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I♥Wellwood Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That song is horrible in comparison =/ I'm still so annoyed at the way they handled the Beckham situation. Way to use the guy to land the games, sell tickets and then cut him off the team. Let's be real.. when you think of athletes from GB, Beckham is at the top of the list. He definitely was strung along by Pearce. I hope he at least gets to light the torch as a consolation prize ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdon Algur Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 As I said, hokum. What a load of tripe - the secret rulers of the planet? Fake alien invasion? It would have to be some fake - we've seen Independence Day. Signs. District 9. If these so-called elite are so smart, they'd come up with a better idea than a fake alien invasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Or is this a rumour started by aliens so that when the allien invasion happens we will all think its fake.Hmmmmm.....just kidding of course this is a load of crap but its made this thread more interesting if nothing else.

canuck champs Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I prefer ranking medals by golds as opposed to overall. Puts more value on a gold medal. In other news, the Beach Volleyball draws were held today. Canada has a team in both the men's and women's competitions, after having not qualified any teams in Beijing. The men are in a group with the 6th overall ranked Brazilian team, 17th ranked Norway, and host Great Britain. The Women are in a group with Italy (ranked 6th), Russia, and Great Britain.

hockeyville88 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 So Rafa pulled out. So does it leave Roger and Joker? Yup. I don't see Murray or Tsonga (or anyone else) beating the big 3 - now the big 2. Fed is a legend but I'm for Djok all the way here. Would be fantastic if he won gold for Serbia.
