I must say some events are relatively entertaining.  Really enjoying the indoor and beach volleyball, water polo, field hockey, handball, and swimming events.  I don't think guys play field hockey or hand ball, but holy Sh*t if there was a men's team for those I wouldn't' think twice before joining.  They look fun as hell.

Medal Counts, and all that don't matter to me any more.  I just want to see the woman who wins gold in the "Snatch" category.

I won't celebrate Rafa going........ but I will be over the moon if Dalglish comes in. League within 2 years if he gets the job, AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT.

But there are competitions for men in handball and field hockey. I think they're in the Olympics as well.

Benny whats with the Chess comments mate?

I'm a bit sad tonight... to see Phelps go but at least he is going out on a high with another gold medal. I don't think any athlete will ever come close to achieving what he has done.  :buttrock

Don't know about field hockey, but Hungary and Spain are playing a handball match right now.

Anybody else thing Ramsey has been trash this tournament?  He plays like he's above everybody else, and he makes so many stupid mistakes from holding the ball too long.

Boom !!!! Mo with the gold - 3 in one night , 6 in a day !

Still no chess gold

Bav - Kharhaz was bleating on about sports at Olympics and chess should be in it because he is good. So in just updating him on the current Olympic chess situation.

Incredible performances on the track from Ennis and Mo tonight.  Your athletes are doing you all proud, my British mates.  Canada finally grabbed it's first gold today (FFS) on the trampoline.  Ahh well, we're slightly better at the winter sports. :D
