I think she's adorable, the lip-syncing bitch in the pig tails can fuck off back to the gymnastics team because she's just about the right age.

I love that of all things to take issue with in my statement, you've chosen the fact that I didn't pick a real event. That's awesome.

man - "this whole chinese thing is a disgrace."

man - "what do you mean?"

man - "they are so evil and are mean to other countries, and lie about stuff to get their way and don't want people to really have freedoms beyond what the government wants them to want."

man - "yeah . . . you want to go get some food."

man - "how bout chinese? i like how the duck doesn't come with the head like in the picture on the menu. and those chopsticks; they're so crazy."

neither has Ireland, although we came agonizingly close in the K1 slalom (4th) and our boxers are looking fairly good, iirc all 5 have made it through to the quarter finals

I felt both bad for the Irish bloke in the K1 and happy for the competitor from Togo who had the run of his life to take the bronze.

How's the Irish looking in track and field?

eh, I don't see any great prospects to be honest, we have decent 200m and 400m athletes (which is a big change for us - we've a much stonger middle distance heritage) and apparently the female 3000m steeplechaser is decent….but its a real stretch to think we can actually challenge for medals

boxers are probably the best bet…historically its by far our best event, having accounted for 9 of our 16 total Olympic medals (I'm not counting drug cheat Michelle Smiths 4 medals in 1996)

I think GB will do well in the track cycling events, that's our only hope of anymore medals I think. We've done well in the rowing events in the past but I don't know about this time round.

Don't the Irish do well in equestrian competitions too?

I am loving the tennis coverage online.

the Serena Williams / Elena Dementieva match is quite a good one right now.

perhaps its because i am secretly in love with Elena…

Vindication for manc and his accusations…I fucking hate cheats.
you mess with the chinese, and they release the red army and kill you. no reporters, no internet, no voice. they have cameras on every corner watching every citizen for buddha's sake. do not oppose them. they will fight for what they (the government) believe in and they will take you down if you don't let them believe that.

if these medals are taken away from the chinese, expect some serious shit to go down. goodbye tibet, goodbye exports that keep our economy afloat, goodbye sweet and sour chicken.

Sure thing Dorothy. Seriously though, I really did think that was funny. Not attacking at all…
