With the Olympics starting today, with football, thought we should have a place to discuss ths stuff here.

And to get things started, why not post the event you are most looking forward to seeing and the ones you are not that bothered about seeing?...

Mine is the obvious, 100 metre Mens final, though i also like the relays, and any event which is a race, cycling, athletics and swimming included. Not particularly that bothered about events that require the opinions of random people to decide the winner. I.E. gymanstics...

agree that many events have interest to only a small group of followers ... in the 1948 London Olympics ...our gold medal was earned by FOXHUNTER.

can't say I find the football of great interest but might be better this time with Brazil and Spain ....Bale obvously not bothered ...cried off with injury

but playing pre season ,...still he is a Spud and we know how trustworthy they are .... FINALLY WILL BECKHAM PLEASE FUCK OFF

My mother lives 3 houses away from Gareth Bale`s grandmother. her house is painted Blue.:) i used to work with his uncle,. whose a Man U fan. i watched a Spurs v Man U game with him a few years back. his nephew was playing but he still supported Man U in the game. :D

anyway, i don`t know what it is about the olympics.it`s mostly sports that i wouldnt normally watch but i love them. always have. it doesn`t matter if GB do well or not i`ve always loved watching them. my favorite non british athlete was Ed Moses. he was incredible.

i`ve always loved the show jumping,love horses in general but exciting stuff too..i met David Broome when i was a kid he was friends with my auntie and uncle.

and the rowing is always good. Steve Redgrave 5 consecutive Olympics 5 gold medals.. not bad for a diabetic. LEGEND!!!

this thread should be fun. if we aren`t subjected to tedious trolling over shit nobody else gives a fook about.

Surprised there wasn't a thread sooner. Should be a very interesting event where i can see all our brits shit themselves due to the pressure and fail miserably at everything lol. Of course i don't want that to happen but they must be so nervous. Gareth Bale is a cunt, injured for the Olympics yet scores for Tottenham... ok mate. Looking forward to seeing all Chelsea players shine in the football anyway.

I don't get overly hyped for the Olympics but i am looking forward to it and really hope we do well. London is so over crowded tho and it has dramatically made my work hours change. It's interesting tho.

I don't get this Team GB bollocks. every country has their country like normal, the womens football showed New Zealand vs Team GB, France vs USA etc i mean wtf? Why not just use Great Britain as amazingly that's what GB stands for and that's the name of the country/ies. Maybe New Zealand should be 'Team NZ'. Annoying lol.

TBH, i would rather see, just countries, like england scotland etc, than GB, but thats a different matter... On another note, why does the olympics start before the opening ceremony, either have he opening ceremony earlier or start it later... Also you guys seen the bbc has 24 olympics channels... Really trying to cover everything. :)

Post of the year. Truly fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing! Fascinating story.

Thank you, perhaps it should have been my 5000th post.

To elaborate on why I don't like the Olympics, it is a haven for doping (every 100 metre sprint since 1988 or even earlier is an example).
