2012 Summer Olympics

Overall your post doesn't really qualify for discussion, sadly. But to speak about this particular quote above, out of your message.

If you want to compare this particular salute with a Nazi salute, than this is perfectly fine by me; I had my own qualms. But, and this is a big but(!) it was not the German president who did that! And last but not least, the "German Government" was not present at the Olympic Openings in London.

Should do your research before saying such things. hint: Walther Tröger

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.

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

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

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.

Mr. Bean doing a Zola Budd..
Queen skydiving was hilarious! A great ceremony overall. Proud to be British!

 

[Xosé Estrada]

Just wonder who payed the refree of the Spain - Honduras football match

 

[James Johnson]

[Chris Preston]

My God this tennis game JUST WON'T END! It's currently 24-23 -_-

now that's what i call a NIGHT for #TeamGB , 2 Golds within 20 minutes in the stadium, Jessica Ennis done a amazing job, the training paid off, well and truly!

Greg Rutherford in the long jump. Never seen anything like it. , what a performance from both of them.

 

[Peter]

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

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Tonight the 100m sprint. Usain Bolt or....?

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.

My prediction is Yohan Blake in 9.64

 

[Bradley Vanian]

I think Yohan Blake 9.73

Correct time. Wrong person.

 

[Ho3n3r]

Correct time. Wrong person.

LOL

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

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

 

[Scott Webber]
