I think federer will be affected by the atmosphere this afternoon. it will be like nothing he has faced in his career.

Is there going to be anything to look forward to in the second week? They should have the 100m final near the end of the Olympics to end on a climax.

And what's happened to Idowu?

except 4 weeks ago at wimbledon

The atmosphere will be different today than at Wimbledon as most folk in today's crowd don't go to Wimbledon as its more closed off and middle class.

There will be loads of random working class people in the crowd today who will be fully behind Murray and completely unrestrained

You have to consider that the 200 mts is run by atheletes who compete in 100mts and 400mts, plus these two events have relays that close the games.

So that is why the 100mts is run early.

Things to look forward to. The 200mts, 400mts, and the relays, which for me are more exciting than the individual events.

everyone looking forward to the synchronised swimming? Qualification starts at 3pm

I like the solo synchronised swimming, although I think it is a bit of a cheat tbh.

===================

did you see the semi final ?

it was like a henman match. big step up from the usual murray crowd which is fantastic support but not the fanatical atsmosphere henman used to get.

federer will have never played in front of a crowd like this in his life. it will be complete fervour.

Just been informed that the solo synchronised swimming event was dropped from the 'pics years ago

the show jumping's quite good anyway lads. currently on the red button

Its show jumping a sport though??

No

What about if they set the jumps on fire?

i dont know why people have an issue with showjumping tbh. it's no less of a sport than horse racing and involves more skill from both horse and rider.

oh god not the what's a sport and what's not argument again. dont tell chronic

Might aswell put Crufts in the Olympics then

show jumping would pass the "chronic test".

========================

you are confusing show jumping with dressage.

Why don't they have Horse Racing at the Olympics?

I've just been watching the video clip of the presenters getting over exited watching Mo Farah win gold.

Don't know about anyone else, but i was transfixed on Denise Lewis jumping up and down and that her ar$e of her's shaking

The dogs run around jumping over poles, they go one better and run up ramps and go through tunners, it has more right to be in the Olympics then show jumping which is just there to please the snobs of this world.

Sheepdog trials - now there's a sport

You dirty seirrah!

*tunnels

It just gets better and better the more time i watch it. I need a lie down after watching it
