Seems like norway has a fencer, also he is good, this is a surprise.
Success, only minor issues
Every part will be cold, wet, expensive, late, embarrassing
International security incident
Something else

It's funny because it's really hideously uncomfortable. Looks like a light fall safety work harness without much padding around the leg straps (designed to keep you from falling off of stuff, not to sit in for prolonged periods of time) and those straps start to cut off blood circulation after a few minutes (it's actually seriously unhealthy if you hang in one for too long).Originally Posted by Sykes
Mayor of London gets stuck during some stupid Olympic (+self) promotional event. Still up there at the time of posting.

went to see spain play badly today, the security didn't seem as horrific as people were saying. had to put stuff in a clear plastic bag and a quick pat-down, but that was it. distinct lack of people giving a fuck about branding too.
Weightlifting is the best shit to watch on TV ever. 17 year old 4 foot 9 thai girls lifting 110 kilos over their heads lol.
Shut your commie mouth.To an american everyone who is not an american is a commie.France counts as commie?
Another silver to the UK - rowing this time.
Suck it Crim fags, how's it feel being behind the UK in medals?!
If it means they'll stop trying to make swimming a big deal all the time then I'm totally ok with it.
I just realised that in "Medals per head of population", the UK is FAR better at the Olympics than the USA.
Hah.
(Yes, this is silly, don't care).
Its alright. We make silly rationalizations to justify the costs of things all the time. Do what you need to do.
Medals per captia doesn't really work though since Barbados with its tiny population gets 1 or 2 and ends up on top. Still I guess it's just as fair as any other way of ranking the list.
China is literally hydra reloaded?the chinese womens double was so blatant about it
its literally worse than AT IX
I tried to be cool and all I got was a lousy warning about my sig being too big.
Slovenia won bronze in men's double sculls rowing, one dude is 40, the other 33, also kiwis won and the brits sucked dick. Gz Krans, Ben et al.

Of course it doesn't work, it's horribly skewed against big nations (sucks to be China, worst Olympic nation ever). But as you say, it's no liss silly than Gold count or Medal count really, which are just as biased in FAVOUR of big nations.
Had a chuckle at the medals per GDP here. http://www.medalspercapita.com/#medals-by-gdp:2012 Not sure if being on top is a good thing or notMedals per captia doesn't really work though since Barbados with its tiny population gets 1 or 2 and ends up on top.
