[Sidhoni]

This thread is for all general news about the Olympics and discussion about the events. I'll start off with a shocking news - In football - Spain 0-1 Japan http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jul/26/london-2012-spain-japan-live-mbm

You want to make this a Non India event thread? Reply back and I can change the title of it. It can be a thread where we can discuss everything which is not related to India. Like MIchael Phelps etc.

[Sidhoni]

Yes. It is all about the general news and discussion. Maybe you can name it - Rest of the World at London 2012.

anybody watched the the womens fencing competition yesterday? that was one of the most intense sports moment this year,big comebacks in both medal games.the italians won all the medals.

[India-KXIP fan]

Maybe to early but Phelps just doesn't have the desire to do well anymore. He's underprepared. Swimming's a very boring sport and hard to train so hard and remain motivated for so long. Good news for them fecking Chinese I guess :mad:

[Cricketics]

He does have a desire to do well, it's just that he's not at that same level which he used to be. He started traingin hard just couple of years ago. While for the other 2 Olympics before, he had been trianing all 4 years leading up to the Olympics. Lochte still wanted to show that he can do better than Phelps, and hence he has prevailed in this year's Olympics(Well, so far) I hope Phelps win some individual medals here. THE GREATEST OLYMPIAN, REGARDLESS OF HOW HE FINISHES HERE.

[Cricketics]

Swimming medal rounds are starting now in 10 minutes. HERE WE GO AGAIN. COME ON USA.. PHUCK THE WHOLE WORLD.

[Cricketics]

And the golden boy Lochte phuks up the relay race in the end for USA or you can just simply say Hats off to the French last swimmer. Phelps eased the road for USA to win gold in 4*100 but the French swimmer in the end covered the distance gap and won. USA gets Silver, Russia bronze.. France GOLD.
