Who's sick to death of the Olympics already?

The new streamlined body suits female swimmers wear have probably ruined the swimming. Especially if they are black, which means you can't see anything at all

it's all a bit of a freak show, really

I'm bored by the sports, I just watch it to be entertained in other ways. Like marathon runners taking a poop on the way, and so on. Full of tragedies.

I love The Olympics me, now I don't have to do it any more.

All those muscle-bound-tulip-for-brains-intellectually-deficient-failures-who-think-they're-winners-because-they-jumped-over-something-marginally-higher-or-moved-slightly-faster-over-some-distance-than-some-other-intellectually-deficient-failure-who-is-as-they-are-unfit-in-a-civilised-society-to-be-anything-more than-a-sports-teacher-and-who-in-such-a-rôle-would-then-demonstrate-their-sense-of-their-own-inadequacy-by-sadistically-tormenting-those-children-of-lesser-physical-adequacy-after-the-manner-of-those-who-trained-the-Hitler-Jugend-

Well, I must admit they're an inspiration to me.

Always embarrassing when you spill a chocolate milkshake over your crotch.

Agree with every word. I like a bit of sport - Exterminate The Thal is my favourite - but the opening ceremony and surrounding hype makes me sick. The BBC are even hosting non-sport programs from Beijing. WTF for?

I don't understand how sport at this level is worthwhile. These people train full time for years and years to compete with other people who have done the same and someone wins by running fastest or other meaningless feat. Why is that an achievement?

Plenty of people can spend their lives training for an event, of course they're going to be good at it compared to people who haven't. It's not impressive, they just have a tedious all encompassing hobby.

It's like people in the guinness book of records, I'm pretty sure we could all cram ping pong balls into our mouths if we really worked at it but really what's the point?


Sport is for having fun. At olympic level it's twisted into a 'who wasted the most of their life' competition.

One of my favourite things about Saturdays is switching over to BBC1 and spending a few happy moments belittling, slagging off, bitching about, and generally being thoroughly nasty about the cookery show that the Beeb has inflicted upon mankind. God, how I detest the whole crappy show and all those involved in it.

But today, my morning was ruined, because Adrian Chiles and some bird were presenting some sort of GMTV-like tulipe about the Olympics, instead. Chiles is just too easy a target for me to get any hate-filled satisfaction from.

Also, Adrian Chiles & the Olympics? He may have lost a few tonnes, but Olympic pundit he ain't! Bring back the tossers and their cookery programme!

I dunno, being best in the world at something is an acheivement, even if it's something a bit pointless.

But I agree that it's a little sad that nobody can realistically be a top sportsperson without having parents that pushed them into a rigorous training schedule at a very young age and denying them any kind of normal childhood.

At least they're not still pretending to be amateurs.

You nerdy, non-sporty, IT geeks that probably throw like girls and haven't broken a sweat in years other than on the bog do make me laugh.
