Off Topic The Official Olympic Thread- London 2012

Phenomenal destruction from Murray. When he won that epic game it was pretty much over. Now he's just got another two sets to play

 

Andy was unbelievable today, inspirational even. Federer wasn't good at all, but that was because Murray dominated. Maybe he'll have a bit of belief in himself. Always had the talent to do it... Hope he kicks on. Wasn't as impressed with him as everyone else, but recently he's taken it up a notch, just like Novak did.

Brilliant and deserved gold. Hope he gets another!

 

Amazing performance.
He'll be bits for the medal ceremony.

 

It'll probably be more comfortable if he wails away, than if he grimaces through an anthem which, let's face it, is quite offensive to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish.

Good luck to him, very happy he's won!

Now, let's catch China and USA shall we...

 

So SO SO close to a gold in the gymnastics there too. Got bronze and silver, but the silver medallist got exactly the same score as the gold medallist, lost out due to where the score came from or something.

 

Would be nice, watching Laura Robson and Andy Murray's mixed double matches and they are two breaks up after 3 games.

 

1-0 up already.
Robson is really pretty.

 

True but she's too young to fancy.

 

Saw her in one of her first tournaments, she hardly looked strong enough to hold a racquet never mind wield it. She's a great little player though.

 

She has pretty solid groundstrokes, and from my limited tennis knowledge she seems to fit the type of player being produced right now in women's tennis, counter-punchers. She doesn't really possess the power, but she can mix it in rallies with men because she can use pace well. When someone mixes up the pace, she gets destroyed.

Her serving is bloody woeful, and that was the downfall in the end. Still, the same was said of Murray at the beginning of his career, so she needs to set him as role-model and really up her game in that department.

Feel for Murray, he deserved 2 golds today with the way he played, but I think silver for both of them should be looked upon as a terrific success story! Amazing that Murray got Gold so quick then had the stamina to put in another great performance!

 

and now we switch to the track once more... here's hoping...

 

Women's Triple jump could be handy for us I think. 100m final set to be a CRACKER.

 

And hopefully after that I should be able to give you some make-up rep to complete your night

 

Can't see us getting as many golds as last night in the Athletics. Blake for the gold in the 100 metres.

 

yay!

I'm not good enough at spreading rep to give it out very often to people I generally want to

 

Not so convinced now after the semi's.

 

Wonder if we'll see an under 9:50 tonight. Gonna be something special regardless.

 

Depends on what form Bolt and Blake are in and how much they really put into their semi-finals.

 

Been some good performances on the track by both the men and the ladies.

 

Great performance by a great champion.
