Olympics 2012

[IrishJedi]

We're not as good at playing the underhanded politics with the IOC, which is absolutely one of the most corrupt organizations on Earth.

(We should, though, our politicians are as bad as anywhere )

Man, I could tell you some IOC stories from the 96 games, which were here in Atlanta. Seriously, they're like a supervillain group.

 

[The Josh]

I can imagine just from the stuff I've read and seen they're not above board at all.

 

[carbo-fation]

Really liking the closing ceremony so far.

Alfred + Batman and Robin

 

[intothevoid]

Well it's only been 4 games since it was in the USA last

It's a big world out there you know

But yes the IOC is completely corrupt of that there's no doubt

Batman gig was funny.

 

[greygoose]

One Direction, why?!

 

[meth head]

We won the Olympics.

Actually when you consider how much bigger the USA is compared with GB and the population difference, I would say GB won

Yeah that has been said a lot by TV presenters and athletes

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I would too...if they'd give the olympics to an american city again

Why wait?? I'm planning on going to Brazil for the next Olympics. I have some Brazilian friends that have family down there that are already planning on going, and I've been invited to stay with them.

ELO

THIS IS A CLASS SONG

 

[VS1976]

Me too.

Spice Girls

They sounded bad Jesse J sounded great and did she looked great....

I'm really surprise they didn't have Sarah Brightman singing at the closing ceremony. She is after all a Brit too. One of my favorite singers of all time.

 

[Platty]

Wonderwall Liam sounded great

 

[VS1976]

Did you guys see Brazilian Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio (silver dress) in the Rio bit? She is so beautiful Need a statue of her

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Didn't China pull this BS after they didn't win the medal count in Beijing?

It's official, in the last 3 Olympics, Vancouver has the worst opening & closing ceremony. We were very frugal compared to London & especially Beijing. Congrats to all the nation that participated in the London games. There were some memorable sporting events. Love the Jamaican race team, the GBR track athletes, Canada's Women Soccer Team, and surprisingly the Rhythmic Gymnastic women's athletes.....they were very entertaining to watch

It's very fitting the last song goes to The Who.

 

[DarkShadow]

Not that strange, Vancouver had winter games.. they are on a much smaller scale and ususally much more forgettable in my opinion. Can't compare that to London or Beijing.

Wonderwall Liam sounded great

Sounded great but still looks like a smack head.
