Anyway, Bleacher Report is jumping the shark. Someone is predicting a silver finish for USA Basketball.

Indonesia won the mens double in the last Olympics thru Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan. but they missed the cut in the criteria for 2012 Olympics..and with it.

Anyway, Bleacher Report is jumping the shark. Someone is predicting a silver finish for USA Basketball.

somehow, at the back of my mind, there is a possibility that will happened if Spain will play their cards right.

[faaip_de_oiad]

To be fair, Brazil only lost by 6 against the States a. Hmmmm...

Isa lang boxer nagqualify para satin? This is the lowest we've had in a while - in 1996, we had five Olympian boxers.

Lugi yung mga Muslim athletes sa Olympics. Ramadan pa naman.

[blakedaddy]

Isa lang boxer nagqualify para satin? This is the lowest we've had in a while - in 1996, we had five Olympian boxers.

5 in 96 4 in 2000 and 04 one in 08. But then again, the 92 and 96 batch of olympian boxers were a lot better than any succeeding batches IMHO

[ceedee]

Lugi yung mga Muslim athletes sa Olympics. Ramadan pa naman.

Saudi Arabia, Algeria, UAE and Egypt has so far exempt their Olympic athletes from fasting during Ramadan because they are traveling to other nations. but they have to make up those days of fastings after Ramadan.

I wonder what happened to Suntok Ginto. It's an NGO that was meant to garner support for Filipino Boxers. They were quite in the news back in 2010-2011 but they haven't been that visible during the lead up to the games.

I believe may live telecast yung opening ceremony sa Solar. Sana naman this time walang OA na ads na sobrang dami like what happened in 2008 Beijing Olympics. It was sooo frustrating to watch. Hindi mo ma enjoy yung opening ceremony dahil in 1 minute commercial na agad at ang haba pa.

more fearless prediction

Fencing - as in the past, Italy are expected to take at least 5 of 10 golds at stake in this event. Russia and Romania will share the remaining golds.

Gymnastics in artistic gymnastics, China, USA and Russia figures to dominate the women's competition while China, Japan and USA for the men's competiton. Russia and China are poise to sweep the rhythmic and trampoline events respectively.

Handball - World champions France and Norway will have familiar rivals of Denmark, Iceland, Spain and Sweden in men and women competition.

Modern Pentathlon - Andrey Moiseyev of Russia is seeking to win his 3rd straight gold medal in men division. while Germany's Lena Schöneborn will defend her title agaisnt world champion Victoria Tereshuk of Ukraine, who won the bronze in 2008.

Judo - Japan looks to dominate this event again in London as 12 of their 14 judokas are rated among the top 3 in the world and 5 of them are top ranked in their division. But basing on the result of the recent world championship in Paris, Brazil and France could spoil their party. China, South Korea, Russia, Mongolia, Greece and Uzbekistan could get a gold in this event.

[JeFFSTaR]

Usually the drawing of lots happens on the eve of competition after the weight-in of the participants.

good for you, you can watch the Games live. Inggit ako.

Salamat pare, I'll regulary check the London 2012 site and the AIBA site na rin for any announcement para makakuha agad ng ticket. Just got lucky I was deployed by my company here in London at the right time. I hope you'll get your chance as well to witness the Olympic Games live.

usually, walang TV advertisements kung live telecast kasi tuloy-tuloy ang ceremonies. babawi na lang ang TV network pag replay na at dun sila tatambak ng commercials ng sponsors nila. lets see kung gagawin ito ng AKTV.

Pwede naman yung advertisement sa gilid or bottom ng screen

Very much excited for women's gymnastics. I just love the drama last time. I predict USA to dominate but Russia is just right behind them. It all boils down on how the girls control their nerves.

For volleyball, I expect USA to sweep this time both indoor and beach. Last time their women's indoor team didn't get the gold.

Tennis, USA all the way except men's singles. Federer will do everything to get that elusive singles gold medal.

[jammerakwaii10]

May live telecast din yung Star Sports sa opening ceremony at 3:30 am Phil time.
