The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread

I swear to god. Everyone needs to get over it. Seriously. The GD games are on the other side of the earth and the events all take place during the day (here). Get the eff over it people. NBC is damn if they do and damned if they don't. They cannot, no matter how much people would like, reverse the the static effects of the space-time-continuum nor can they stop everyone and their brother from reporting on results. They are a business that has to try and make money. If you didn't know that the women had already won then did it matter that they presented the event in a way to make it more exciting to the viewer? Why does anyone care? They didn't change the results.

I don't have a problem with them giving the results just give people a warning or make them click a box before doing so. Its much better to watch when you don't know the results and right now its near impossible to go all day without hearing them.

This seems to happen every year during the snatch portion of weightlifting. In 2008 a Hungarian lifter completely broke his arm. That was a scary video to watch.
