Sport (fuck) The Olympics

[ECA]

Murray basically won the gold already, 85%+, only reason it isnt 98% is because he's playing fed.

 

[Overdriven]

Cracking game between murray and federer. Both playing some awesome shots.

Just turned it on, not the result I was expecting at all.

 

[Overdriven]

Going to take a miracle for Federer to come back.

 

[MYstIC G]

National pride -v- Prize money... I think personally Federer got it the right way round.

 

[Overdriven]

Grats Murray.

 

[Edmond]

Cant believe i just watched a game of tennis, its a first for me, but it was great. Well done Murray

Am I the only person in the country that thinks Roger didn't care too much?

 

[Ch3tan]

Am I the only person in the country that thinks Roger didn't care too much?

He does, he's just always been gracious in defeat. He's said how much he wants Olympic gold before.

He cared but he looked knackered after his previous 19-17 match and combined with Murray actually playing well in a final ...

 

[Calaen]

Chuffed for Murray, hopefully this will show him he can do it on the biggest stage. He was so dominant on his own serve.

 

[soze]

This Robson is a looker.

 

[Sydrik]

I nearly spat my dinner out earlier when the commentator said "Laura has spent most of the afternoon in Andy Murray's box" That's gonna be a tough one to explain to his bird

 

[Edmond]

Murray must be fucked, how can they expect him to perform his best after nearly a 2 hour match against Federer?

It's doubles, he has to run around a lot less + 2hrs isnt that long a tennis game, obv some impact but not a 4-5hr killer.

 

[Edmond]

.....and yes, Laura Robson is very hot

If he can't, he will never win a grandslam if he can't handle being 4hrs on court in 1 day.
So he should be fine, aside from the fact that (mixed) doubles isn't nearly as physcially intense as a singles match.

 

[Edmond]

Whats with the Belarus girl keep going 'Oooo' everytime she hits the ball?

 

[Ch3tan]

Plus, it's only best of 3 sets. He'll be fine.

You've never watched women's tennis before have you Edmond? Considering what else you watch regularly, I'm surprised.

 

[Edmond]

Ok, i see. I'll let them off....just this once mind!!

I've never watched tennis b4, this and the beach volleyball....well lets say, its been quite a week

Her and a few others were taught that it helps putting power into the shots, that it also helps mask the sound of the racket hitting the ball so the opponent can't hear if there's a lot of extra force or curve being put into the shot is nice little extra bonus. The first is not really proven, but the second is.
Try watching an Azarenka vs Sharapova match, it is a match best enjoyed with the court sound turned way down.

 

[Edmond]

Poor Laura, lot of pressure for her at only 18

 

[caLLous]

Um, she has been on the senior circuit for 2 (if not more, I think?) years? She was pushed through from the juniors far too early and hasn't really achieved anything yet. She had pressure at 14 when she was playing juniors at Wimbledon 3 years ago, I would imagine that she's used to it.

Oh, well fuck her then, useless bint !!

*joke*

 

[Turamber]

She did well and she'll only get better. You can't expect to win everything, and if you do you're either a greedy pillock or an American*


*possibly both

And yet apparently they are currently looking at (or decided to) bring in decibel meters, and if you make to much noise you will be penalised because most people think it is an absolute joke.
I cant watch womens tennis due to the stupid noises, they could at least pretend they in a porno or something

 

[megadave]

100m woop

 

[Overdriven]

9.64s - Bloody hell.

EDIT: With a cocked up start. Would have WR'd it if he'd set off at 100%

 

[Shagrat]

9.64!

against Blake etc he can start badly and still win.
