Yes! Australia just got a gold! Much needed!

 

[killer_clank]

Here's hoping Beth Tweddle can do it.

 

[Atrophis]

Lol Aussie just won gold in the Laser class sailing...then promptly capsized during his celebration.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Gold incoming for GB. Come on, Tweddle.

 

[Desmond]

C'mon Katie!!!

Algerian 1500m runner Taoufik Makhloufi thrown out of Olympics for not trying in the 800m heats

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19152117

Makhloufi, who won one of Sunday's 1500m semi-finals, was forced to race in the 800m after Algeria failed to withdraw him before Sunday's deadline.

The 24-year-old completed barely 200m of his heat before quitting.

The International Association of Athletics Federations said he had "not provided a bona fide effort" and would be "excluded from further events".

Aussies finally made it to 2 LOL. Guess this confirms GB is now the better sporting nation.

Just in from IOC: US judo player Delpopolo expelled from #London2012 for positive test for cannabis

I still can't get used to them being called judo players.

 

[Shorty11857]

5-2 to Katie Taylor, good first round

 

[Jamie OD]

Go on Katie!

With Great Britain having triple the population of Australia, there's no doubt they'd take lead...

 

[ColossalLazy]

Zanetti looking good with the gold medal.

 

[Psychotext]

Oh God, please let this day be the day we get our very first gold medal ever.
It's the team horse jumping competition, and for the first time, Saudi Arabia is currently in first place so far. If they don't F it up today, they will win the gold easily.
Our biggest competitor right now is team GB.

Hmm... as a Brit I'll allow it.

 

[mclem]

China lost a gold that was in their pocket. US choked away a sure silver medal. I sense a lot of choking to come today.

Please not from Beth, she *deserves* a medal.

Ouviram do Ipiranga às margens plácidas... ;_;

 

[Keyser Soze]

Screw you Team GB

(First time I said that this Olympics)

 

[Desmond]

5-5
10-7 to Katie so far.

 

[John Dunbar]

if those bars are just 1.8 meters apart and one is only 1.7 meters high, does that mean that height it not just a disadvantage in gymnastics, it actually makes it impossible to compete?

 

[navanman]

Come on Katie!!

 

[Atrophis]

Dont worry you still kick our arse at League.

 

[Psychotext]

Screw you Team GB

You'll have to be a little more descriptive than that.

 

[nny]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[mrklaw]

Hmm... as a Brit I'll allow it.

sorry, not allowed. I love show jumping and want the brits to win it, been a long time since the last win

 

[Keyser Soze]

We are going to win the Olympics!!

 

[mclem]

8 points up, Just stay out of trouble from here on.

Actually, I'm rooting for Jonas, just being normally pessimistic. Not that it's hard from this position!

It'd be unjust if Jonas won, really, but given how some of these boxing decisions have gone...

 

[Gareth Bale]

Who's the girl next to Matt Baker?

 

[Desmond]

Why is Jones getting counted?

 

[schuelma]

Man if China is now getting gold in sailing, there is truly no hope for the other countries.

 

[Keyser Soze]

[Jamie OD]
