Olympic & Paralympic Games London 2012

[Liam]

My v-box is playing up now during the swimming. Bah!

[MDK]

Anyone watching the weightlifting? It was awesome just now

[Dingle]

I gave up trying to follow judges scoring after a few Boxing and MMA fights. Sometimes it's just plain bizarre.

but he didn't dismount. he fell as he started the dismount. they should have lost points from it, tbh.

He did, didn't he? Didn't get the difficulty points or whatever, just the basic award for landing on your feet during the dismount.

i thought they said that'd be worth .3 as opposed to .5 and he got the .5, didn't he?

I'm not sure, but the main BBC commentator said that giving them the .5 was the correct decision, I'm guessing because he actually landed quite well - didn't stumble or go outside the area etc.

[Summers]

time for the swimming now. we have a three chances of medals.

[Pesci]

Yannick Agnel is a fucking beast.

That wasn't a final. That was a marine animal against mere humans.

[Summers]

jeeze.

[Liam]

Yannick Agnel is a fucking beast.

He was insane in the 4x100m, but that was even better.

Surely the dismount is more than just landing well, he was all over the place in mid-air (obviously, because he fell).

[Guest mr. potato head]

Agnel's crazy good.

Also lol, Lochte. Nice to see USA! USA! getting stymied at every turn.

It is more than that, but I'm assuming he was already penalised points wise for that aspect.

[Katsuya]

Agnel is all kinds of awesome.

[IAceI]

Come on Gemma!

[Cymbols]

It would appear that the guy on twitter has given up on being apologetic and has gone back to insulting Tom Daley

[Adam]

Spofforth holds the WR in this event, hopefully she can get a medal.

[Berober]

Fencing commentators have figured out exactly when the incident happened on the website

[Liam]

Spofforth is doing well at the moment.

4th I think.

Ah, 5th.

[Pesci]

Swimming is probably becoming one of my favourite sports at the Olympics so far. So many beasts in the swimming finals.

[Adam]

Nope. Great achievement by Missy Franklin there, she's just done a semi-final minutes ago and has come out and won this gold medal.
