Speaking of the Paralympics, I'm liking the billboard adverts for Channel 4's coverage of them that simply say "Thanks for the warm-up" :D

Clearly we've let the LOSERS out today. They clearly haven't heard that we're winners now. BOOO losers, who do they think they are? The Australians?

Plenty of other channels with no mention of the O word and at least my redtop puts most of the coverage in a supplement that can be swiftly consigned to the recycle bin.

Whilst I'm pleased for the competitors that have done the country proud, those of us who have no interest in sport are not best served by that national broadcaster at the moment.

Well I can find plenty to watch..that isn't Olympics..So can my OH who is driving me crazy watching TMC's endless cowboy films..:banghead:

The British Olympic Association hopes millions will watch the parade from Mansion House to Buckingham Palace.
The event will take place on the day after the closing ceremony for the Paralympic Games.
BOA chief executive Andy Hunt said he hopes children are allowed out of school to join the celebrations

Assuming you have VM's TV service (I know some on here don't) and if you discount the 24 special channels there are exactly TWO channels showing the Olympics full time.

So not anywhere near "hardly a TV station without it" :rolleyes:

And if you mean that hardly any TV stations don't mention it at all then duh! It's only the biggest sporting event most of us will see in our lifetime. Of course it's going to be talked about.

Quite enjoyed the olympics, after spending the last year + moaning about getting indoor volleyball and greco Roman wrestling as well, the volleyball was ok and the wrestling really was something special, fantastic crowd and atmosphere, would go again without doubt to it.

Something that will probably slip under the radar but
MANY CONGRATULATIONS
to the Woman's Rhythmic Gynastics Team !!!!!
They had to finance themselves (at least £80,000) and fight a court case to get to appear at London 2012 on a Home Country place and, although they didn't get anywhere near the medal places, they did come 11th out of 12 (when everyone including, probably British Gymnastics, expected them to come last).

The team of Annie Bartlett, Georgina Cassar, Louisa Pouli, Francesca Fox, Jade Faulkner, Lynne Hutchison, Rachel Smith did themselves, and Team GB, proud (if you want proof watch their routine).

Best wishes to them and their coach and good luck for the future - there's much more to come.

If everyone took that view our Artistic Gymnastics team would never have got the funding a few years ago that brought us medals at London 2012 - if you've got a group of girls, coaches and parents like this (who are prepared to invest their own time and money) and they can achieve what they did (again look at their performance if you doubt me) then how much more is possible with the injection of funding and encouragement.
They deserve all the congratulations they get and I, for one, am looking forward to Rio 2016 to see what they can achieve there.

I went to the athletics last night. It was a fantastic experience, got to see some great athletes, unfortunately no British medals, but its still a night i will remember for a very long time. I am proud of the British athletes and how they have performed but now even more so of the volunteers working in the olympic park and stadium. They really are brilliant and deserve all the praise they have been given, i didn't see one without a smile on their face and they were all really helpful and happy.

We had great seats in the stadium, right next to the flame...

I always preferred watching these things on TV as thought that you would be able to see so much but actually, that's not a bad view :)

How far up were you, roughly? (I would imagine those at the very top of the stadium don't see too much!)

Yeah but they were offered a chance to qualify and failed to get to the standard required didn't they? This is why they had such a hard time getting into the Olympics because the British Gymnastic association didn't put them forward as a result. Their performance (2nd from last) suggests this wasn't a poor decision and they are unlikely to get much funding to come.

There will be a cull of certain sports after these games. We're no longer the home nation and won't have as large a team going into 2016, naturally investment will be focused on sports where we can make an impact. Basketball and Handball are likely losers as well.

That's not to say that I don't admire their drive but I don't think the sporting authorities have any question to answer over their non-selection.

1) No they didn't fail to get the qualifying standard as the court hearing established
2) Given they got no funding I'm sure "not much funding" would be greatly appreciated
3) Of course the team for 2016 will be smaller but as cycling and judo have proven investing in the right people with desire, determination and commitment is the important thing
4) There are no questions to answer as they were selected (eventually)

I was near the front of the second tier, about row 42 i think. It goes back to row 75 but i think you would still get a decent view from back there. The big screens help when the action is on the other side of the stadium.

And shooting which we always do well in but as the guy on the beeb said, its funding has been stopped and rightly so. Why rightly so, I'm no fan of the sport particularly but for years now I've been hearing.and seeing these people labelled gun nuts in rags and on the Telly and frankly I'm sick of it, God knows how people who enjoy or used to participate in it put up with it.

My only regret is that I couldn't volunteer to help :( Would have loved to do so.

I was a fan of the Olympics since before London put in the bid and after everything I've seen these last 7 years I'm still a fan.

Well done all of the Athletes from all of the World
