The worst opening ceremony in the history of the modern Olympics. A complete shambles and a disgrace. A waste of time and to be honest I dont know what they were thinking but it was crap. Lets hope the rest of it is better.

It had nothing on '36 http://youtu.be/_s_K3-FEwQA

The very first Olympic torch... built by one of hitlers major arms manufacturers
-
Stephanie Rice came 6th in the 400IM.
-
How good are the Kiwi hockey chicks. Punt and Harrison :whistle
-
Would like a night with big Cambage. big girl
-
Now we're talking :clapping
-
Successfully anti-chubbed.
-
Hewitt in some fine form in the first round :cheers
-
Not sure why our media is surprised by the lack of gold medals. We were always going to struggle at these Olympics with very few household names.
-
With China doing well in the pool I was hoping it would mean success for us at the ping pong table.
-
our team is a stuffing disgrace. Steph Rice is talking about retiring at age 16 FFS. Train harder you stuffwit and win at the next Olympics.
-
These sooks are making us look bad. Don't get out of the pool and cry.
-
Maybe there is too much chlorine in the pool?
I've pretty much been only watching the basketball and hockey. Stuff all those other brats.
-
Even NZ is now ahead of us on the medals table :facepalm
-
would people rather see Australia win the medal tally at the Olympics or a Richmond premiership?....For me the latter without even thinking.
ok ..what sporting event would rank higher for you than a Tigers flag?
-
Dressage.
-
Women's ping pong
-
The cry baby Olympics.
The team is as soft as butter.
Kazakhstan have more gold medals.
-
To be fair, it's mainly just our swim team that are rooted. The whole lot came in pretty hubris. In many other sports our guys and girls have been making it into finals left, right and center. :cheers

We would've won gold medals if all these non-swimming nations didn't turn up :doh ;D
I think the past few Olympics have raised people's and especially the media's expectations unrealistically for this squad. As you allude to dwaino this Olympics team had mostly done sweet stuff all prior to these Olympics. We were always going to come second to the Brits in the cycling. I remember the 70s and 80s and if we won even one gold medal it was almost time for a national holiday. We're probably returning to our norm without the individual freaks around this time to win a swag of gold medals themselves.
-
Boomers taking it right up to Russia at the moment. Hope they can keep it up for four quarters as the Russians proved against Spain that they won't relent. Mewly and Anderson on fire with the 3 pointers.
-
Ingles' confidence is flying and Mills is still being a gun. Need to keep the pressure on Russia and we could win this :pray
edit: down by a point, 4.1 seconds left and call a time out. NOOOOOOOOO Why did Mills try to seal it with a 3 instead of just 2 to make it a 3 point buffer :(
-
THREE ON THE SIREN TO MILLS!!!! Boomers win 82-80. First loss to the Russians :cheers
-
Gold to Slingsby :cheers (sailing)
You ripper
-
Gold to Slingsby :cheers (sailing)
You ripper
Great stuff :clapping :highclap :thumbsup
About time ;D
-
Did you see the race? Really gave the Cypriot nothing. I thought it was a great scene at the line when the Cypriot gave Slingsby a nod after that battle, and even the British bloke shook his hand. Congrats to Cyprus for winning their first ever medal too.
-
More gold. At this rate we're going to beat some old Soviet bloc countries :clapping
-
Think we have a chance at two more sailing gold medals, men's hockey, .........
anything else?
-
Steve Hooker, women's basketball beat the yanks and progress, men's basketball are up against the dream team in the semi so are probably stuffed but already upset the Russians and pushed Spain for almost four quarters, and has the BMX been yet? We got some snot nosed in that who was world champ prior to the games.
To think if the swimmers didnt choke we could hae cracked 10gold this Olympics.
-
Those sailing golds are a lock as long as we finish the race too. :cheers
-
How are we placed in the breakdancing, rollerblading, and skeeball?
-
OK but no where near as good as we are in tetherball, Dungeons & Dragons, and fetch - labrador.
-
Did the Opals win last night? I was watching on FTA in the weehours (too tired to slap on austar and watch on there) and the stuffers showed 2 minutes of it before putting the cycling on. Cycling is ass. fell asleep within seconds. whoa
-
Did the Opals win last night?
yes they did beat China by 15 points. And it seems Stephanie Rice took USA Dream Team star Kobe Bryant to watch the game ;D
And BTW Sally Pearson = YOU STAR :bow :bow :bow
-
I saw that. Surprised Rice didn't start crying about possibly retiring.
-

Excellent, as long as none of the budget to our Sheets team is cut as a result, can't afford to damage the national psyche by not coming home with a gold in our premier event
-

What about our Quidditch?
-
Officially gold in the 49ers sailing. Congrats to Outteridge and Jensen :highclap.
We need one more gold medal to jump above the mighty Kazakhstan lol and into the top 10 of the medal tally.
-
Gold in the K4 sprint. Never saw that coming :cheers

Great results
Shame about the commentary by Brayshaw & Tomkins = embarrassing
-
Between Brayshaw and the random pommy blokes on the stuff we don't have our own commentary for and the post event interviews, I'm not sure who dribbles the most.
-
Best commentator on Ch9 is Peter Donegan by a long long way :clapping
-
What about Ray Warren's attempts at pronouncing non-Anglo names? ;D
'Wildeboer' became 'Wild-boar' :lol

Not looking forward to the Rio Olympics for no other reason than they're quite possibly in the worst time zone they could be in regards to viewing at decent Australian hours.

Unbelievable place if you haven't been. Went with an ex in 2001. Havent decided between Rio 2014 world cup or Olympics
Most likely World cup. Last chance to experience a descent venue given i wont be going to Doha or Russia any time soon
-
Go to World Cup. Not much beats the atmosphere at huge soccer games. A Richmond grand final would be sweet though ;D
