The London 2012 Olympics

[Milan 17,859]

The 'John Lennon thing' was beautiful, it gave me the shivers. Fantastic tribute to the legend.

And I can't even express my feelings towards Gary Barlow. The whole Britain should be proud of him.

The closing ceremony was brilliant apart from that annoying bitch Jessie J. The Freddy Mercury and John Lennon parts were wonderfully done. So many famous british bands on show, it was a true festival. Also was a message to the world to stop fighting and war etc. I know it won't ever stop but it was touching none the less. The Olympics was a huge success and it was nice to see the 204 countries as one big family. Now they can go back to killing eachother...

Thank you very much.

Gold medal winner of the women's shot put got tested positive for metenolone therefore got stripped of her medal, which means another gold for us!!

Bloody dopers, really kills sport

All in all a good show -after all the pre game cynicism it was enjoyable. The aussies need to improve if they want medals in Brazil

[Ollie 4,400]

Really pisses me off because they will never get away with it. The athletes are tested almost every day multiple times, i dunno why they do it. And then they will be banned for a long period. Stupidness.

Brits need to improve in just about everything

Anyways pretty great games. Not among the best though I would say.

I really don't understand why they do it. They're not going to get away with it, whole things just pointless then.

It's not the same without people getting thrown out for doping. I reckon that Aussie female cyclist will be done next, someone with an arse that big shouldn't be so quick on a bike. Come on gold number 30

It is a bit gutting to be 1 gold away from 30 but it's still been a great games, the best i've personally ever seen. Probably wasn't seen as being so good overseas, maybe you needed to be in the UK to feel the vibe and understand the opening/closing ceremonies in an emotional way but hopefully Brazil in 4 years will be just as good. I'll look forward to Brazil now with their samba atmosphere, watching it at 2am...

Got a while to go for that tho, i'll be coming up to my 30th birthday, oh god.

you might even see England win the W C or Scotland qualify for it OR EVEN Scumpool win the PL

[Ollie 4,400]

I might even see Australia win a football world cup by that time. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales qualify for one, Liverpool win the PL and Man Utd get liquidated. Could be an interesting next 50 years.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

well we finished with the most medals.........as expected hahahaha

now for brazil! hahaha

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

I might even see England get good at sports by that time.

Doubt it

I know you're joking but I take that quite seriously, because there's a pretty decent chance Meares is on something better than whatever Pendleton was on. The Australian Institute of Sport is one of the most notorious places for encouraging and then concealing/protecting dopers. And cyclists go through the AIS, typically; track cyclists certainly do, so I would say there's a reasonable chance Meares is doped.

Not that it means Pendleton is clean. I'm pretty sure we're in an era now where things like the Seoul '88 100 m mens final (where all eight competitors were doped to the eyeballs!) is commonplace across most Olympic sports.

I don't know what you're talking about. We're clearly going to win Brazil 2014

[capriccioso 2,545]

What's going to happen with the Olympic Stadium?

No way can any London club, except maybe Arsenal, sell out an 80k stadium regularly.
