    I wasn't being too serious. It was mostly a joke.

    Most Germans (and I'm not saying I'm completely different) are pretty sensitive when it comes to WW2 stuff, as you might understand. :)
  1. Obviously he wasn't doing that, but it looked like the neonazis do it at least here in Spain... If you look at it 100% humor perspective was akwarrdly fun :D

    Regarding the comic, it happens also in Spain, if somebody shouts something Spain (if its "arriba" there is no doubt) out of a sports context I would think is an old Franco regime nostalgic, and in 90% of cases I will be right... of course a lot of people says that is not necessarily right but in practice it is :D

    It's the price to pay for history, due to the civil war half of Spain is not fully comfortable with Spanish symbols.

    Regarding the ceremony, except for the musical part, was a bit dull I think, nothing that I will remember.

    Jessica Ennis ran a great race, she's the smallest but a hot piece of dynamite.

    Of course Bolt and to bad he knows it. But I hope somebody else wins.
    In Jamaica all they do all day is nothing exept smocking joints and drinking Rum. How can they run so fast.
    Don't tell me it's because of the grass and rum. :roflmao:

    LOL
  4. Incredible race. As always it looks like Usain looses it until the last meters when he puts the turbo on and runs to the finish with giant steps.

    100 meters in 41 steps = insane
