Very impressive so far, up until the segment about today's youth and social media anyway. They managed to make social media look even more retarded then it really us. Now im actually bored. Dizzee Rascal is cool though.
Also; why are all announcement first made in french, then in english?
Official language of the IOC is French
women's beach volleyball is just a great sport
WEAPONS OF MASS lolstralia
4x100m men's was glorious. Perfect swim from the french. Why the US put Lochte last is beyond me, he's weak on the 100 free.
That's because the guy who brought back the Olympics was French, and also it's a tradition.Official language of the IOC is French
French is also the language of international diplomacy (otherwise known as surrender)
this is really fucking cool
Regarding the language question, the Olympics always does all announcements and stuff in up to three languages, English, French, and the home country's language. Usually (at least from what I've seen) the home country's is last, hence this year it's French then English.
Why French at all? That's above my pay grade.
It was only said like 3 times
Really loved that part, trying to find the full version shown on TV, but the closest thing I've found to it is the soundtrack (which I totally approve of):
haha they can't even fill all the seats so they are getting the military in to fill them to make it not look bad on the tv.

You know the nhs is free and could probably help you with all the sand that's stuck in your vagina m8
Your not the only one who thought it was shit, rumour is that several Tories had to throw a bit of a wobbler at Danny Boyle just to get him to put a three second clip mentioning Churchill into one of the scenes, otherwise the whole thing would have been even more left wing biased than it already was...

Just found this site via RTE News. http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/london2012/
Supposedly it's carrying a load of streams, where the independent European broadcasters have pooled their stuff together for one pan-European site. I'm going to see what it's like tomorrow.
I'm not too sure it works in Britain because ye have the BBC as official broadcaster.
Says EU (including Britain) only when I try access it.
http://coolsport.tv has been streaming the BBC stuff along with other sports.
Any others people are using?
This is the exact same problem that big events have faced recently. Big organisations such as FIFA and the IOC who "own" events such as these demand a certain percentage of seats are kept aside for their use basically to give away/sell to high profile individuals and sponsors. However these individuals don't want to see the morning swimming heats or dressage so the local organising commitee is blamed for a problem they have very little control over. It happened at Sydney, Athens and Beijing (although Beijing also had genuine issues getting ordinary Chinese to go see the Olympics).
Yes, it's for the EU. v0vSays EU (including Britain) only when I try access it.
