It does. Football is in the Olympics and Maradona has been known to play football and the English are known to get excited about footbal, which happens to be in the olympics.

And the Scott's always come across as bitter when talking about sport, as they've never been very good at it.

Apart from curling.

I think LRW was referring to people called Scott rather than teh people of Scotland.

This chap was pretty handy in an F1 car as well:

f***ing Hell. Who is living in the past now.....?

Stewart Grand Prix->Jaguar Racing->Red Bull Racing->2 WDC and 2 WCC in the last 2 years

Hats off to Tom Daley and his Bronze in the 10m dive.

Kept his cool. Good job for an 18yr old, especially after the year he's had.

Pic of the day for me......

I'm not much into the Olympics myself...but the best part for me was Bolt's speech after the 200m Gold.

"I'm a legend now...yea, yea I'm a legend now...I'm the best athlete alive...I'm a legend"...gotta love the guy.

^^Before that when they asked about being a legend he said:''I have one race to win left than I can call myself a legend.''

Yeah. A lot of people talk about him being an arrogant a*se and what not, well I say if you're really gifted/skilled as much as you talk, just go ahead and talk away.

Problem is there are many athletes/celebs who blow their trumpets when they don't really deserve to in the first place.

He has to act like that doesn't he? If he was sombre and serious about it, nerves would get to him.

[What's Burning?]

The sponsors love it and he will arrogantly walk all the way to the bank. Like Hammer said, the problem would be if he couldn't back up the trash talk but so far he's had no trouble at all backing it up.

Bolt is ACE. I love him. He's in the same mould as Ali, I loved him too.

Well I wouldn't go that far... Ali was a league of his own... practically invented ham and showmanship in sports.

But Bolt's like him. If other sportsmen tried some of those antics they just couldn't pull it off, but those to do/did. Very similar I think.

Can't wait for closing ceremony! Gonna have loads of MUSIC!! Get ready to DAAANNNCCE!!

[Jabberwocky]

if anyone is on my Facebook, I am sure my rant will annoy some people about the Olympics. I have preferred the opening ceremony to the closing one so far
