Olympic & Paralympic Games London 2012

[Lineker]

Oh shit this is sad

[Lineker]

Alright, we've started, and with the exception of Steven Hawking, this seems a bit like a bad Eurovision entry.

[Sam]

Good to see Lizzie made it there tonight.

[Lineker]

She didn't care enough to skydive in, though

[Sam]

Was that it?!

[Lineker]

There must be more after the athletes parade!

[Lineker]

C4 commentary is the absolute worst.

[Sam]

Oh god yeh I've switched off, Jon Snow telling me every country was war torn depressed me too much.

[Lineker]

ParalympicsGB, hooray for us!!

[Sam]

There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being...we all have the ability to create

That quote by Stephen Hawkins has made the ceremony for me, paralympians are even more inspiring than olympians, the things they have had to overcome are mindboogling.

[Lineker]

These adverts.... fuck these adverts!!

But we're off the mark for our golds tally!

[Lineker]

Jon Fox of Plymouth wins ParalympicsGB's second gold medal of the day in the men's S7 100m backstroke.

Seeing as apparently only I give a shit about the Para games, you'll all be pleased to know about the able-bodied athletics just starting on BBC2/BBC HD

[Cymbols]

I've been enjoying it so far. C4 have been shit at covering it though. I'm in awe of some of the athletes mind, can't imagine cycling with only 1 leg. Incredible.

[Lineker]

Yeah, C4 have been crap.

It's 66-66 between us and the Germans! Extra time about to start.

[Colly]

When did Steve Bruce get the GB blind footie coaching job?

[Lineker]

Poor Jody Cundy

[Colly]

Draw with Spain, can't knock that. Possibly. No idea.

[EddieG]

Dutch women beat Team GB at wheelchair basketball by 27 points. 62-35

[Sam]

It's a shame more people aren't following this as there have been some remarkable stories. I managed to get some tickets for Wednesday night in the stadium and can't wait to get into the Park.

[TCO]

Haha Golden Boy beaten in the 200m and then has a bitch fit in the interview afterwards, love it!
