London Olympic Games 2012

Everyones favourite Korea needs to stop winning every single weighlifting class.
Their biggest perk seems to be the fact that they're all short. 62kg winner was like 1.50 or something

I wish they would televise the sailing regattas

Woo, woke up to NZ being off the bottom of the medal table. Bronze for the three day eventing team, Mark Todd unfortunately missing out in an individual medal. That guy's inspirational, he's at his seventh Olympics and he's still as competitive as he was in 1984 when he won his first gold at his first Olympics. He's 6 foot 2 so he's tall for a horseman and makes anything he rides look stocky.

My PT was telling me about a 50kg Thai girl who is 17, clean pressing 91kg. She came second in her heat, lol. That's impressive. Especially since I as a male can't do that

They're strong, no question, but the downside to the weightclasses in lifting is, is that a whole lot of it comes down to height as well. A short person has more room for muscle mass before they reach the limit of their class. That's why all the lifters in the sub 70-80kg classes are so damn short.
Every time i see one of these lifter i think to myself: 'They look twice my size, yet they weigh 25lbs less... Thats odd.' Then you see that they're also a good 20cm shorter than I am, and then it all makes sense again.
I don't like the limitless class either because it often feels like a race. Who can bulk the hardest before the olympics? The limit seems to add an extra challenge.
I'm most interested in the 69kg class and above. That's where the lifts become most impressive imo and the game the most interesting.

The Olympics are much more fun when you have low expectations.

Exceptional race by the GB coxless pair, deserved world champions. a great race from the Aussies, Kiwis and Americans in particular as well. Kiwis just pipped in the final metres for silver by Aus but securing bronze by an even smaller margin so I'm not complaining. Second medal for NZ and hopefully more to come.
