    Well everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

    I think South Africa has some of the best swimmers

    Damn you Japan you fell off in the team gymnastics, sent a inquiry, it was allowed and you stole britians silver medal. I'm so annoyed right now. Is anyone else looking forward to Oscar Pistorious of south Africa competing in the Olympics (if you don't know he's a double amputee)

    Searched randomly who was bidding for the 2024 Olympics it can be either Baku, azerbaijan or this place:

    Inverness, Great Britain
    After a local resident of Inverness won the Euromillions, he vowed to use his winnings to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to his hometown of Inverness. It is believed this bid is unlikely to be successful but the mayor of London, Boris Johnson claimed at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London that should he be mayor in 12 years time, he will use the financial resources of Great Britain to help this bid succeed.

    Missed the whole olympics, apart from a little Volleyball, Hockey and Ping pong. Ping Pong was epic.

    That went pretty well. Boris Johnson was the best part of the closing ceremony.

    It seems like every time I got on Yahoo I saw an article about someone getting stripped of their medal for cheating.

    That was a completely random closing ceremony.

    Eric Idle, Oasis (well, part of Oasis) playing Wonderwall, and Queen's guitarist were my favorites.

    The Spice Girls and the fashion segment weren't. :p

    Very enjoyable overall and Brazil's taste of Rio 2016 has me interested. Bring it on!

    I still need to watch the closing ceremony.
    Really good show from GB though, with 29 gold medals. I'm proud of ol' blighty.

    Well yeah.

    Although I don't get one thing:

    America dominates swimming events = Everyone is okay with it

    Britain dominates cycling events = HACKS, they're using witchcraft to go faster
