Olympic & Paralympic Games London 2012

[Lineker]

Elbow are good.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, we've picked some cracking musicians to play over the two ceremonies.

[Skummy]

Not a huge fan of Elbow, but they're absolutely killing it. Top form, and superb choice of song.

[Lineker]

Among the flagbearers are American 400m runner Bryshon Nellum, who was chosen in a vote of team members. He was part of the silver medal winning 4x400m relay team and just missed a place in the 400m final but that is only half the story.

Four years ago he was shot three times in the legs and was told he would never run again at the top level. But he defied medical predictions to earn an Olympic medal on Friday night.

[MJB]

Shot three times in the leg and still managed to come away with an Olympic Medal?

Incredible.

[DavidMarrio]

Sounds like they can't find CD2.

Also yeh simply amazing, coming back from something like that to winning a medal four years later.

[Jimmy]

That's really inspiring stuff.

[Sam]

There are too many amazing Olympic stories and that's what makes these guys so inspirational.

[The Future]

One directions song is going to be stuck in my head all night.

GB should be proud brilliant event all through out.

[Pesci]

So those Ukrainian girls are pretty hot.

[Lineker]

I don't understand why so many people are complaining about the commentary beingannoying. I'm barely noticing it :/

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Schedule for anybody that is interested, spoilered for anybody that doesn't want to know what's coming up.

Fantastic so far, loving it. And I'm not even going to lie, I am looking forward to seeing the Spice Girls

If it bothers anyone that much, you can turn it off, I think.

[Lineker]

Put it in a spoiler tag then you muppet

[King Ellis]

Why do you think they kept cutting to them at Euro 2012?

[Lineker]

Yeh you can via the red button. But I quite like it.

[Cymbols]

The Irish are pissed already!

[The Future]

Running up that hill with a dhol group, fuck yeah!
