    lol, i am sure i am not the only one who has suspicions, but i will give him the benefit of the doubt.

    He had and MRI scan he's out for the season, torn up everyting and there was scar tissue from a previous injury.

    Looking forward to tomorrow now, Just need the girls to make it through to the finals now.

    Being a Jamaican is hard from Station to stadium its been shout outs, posing for pictures, even did an Interview for Norwegian TV mad! But got to see our runners at the big stage in the flesh. Not so happy with the results but it was a good day.

    Yeah it was the evening. The park is really nice, and clean! We were there for 4 hours before we went into the stadium and I don't think we saw all of it. Will do!

    Me too. It was fantastic....just to see Warren giving his all down that stretch to ensure that the sweep happened was great to see. Well done for first time Olympians in Weir and Blake.

    YES! Great race lastnight. So proud of all 3 boys especially Warren. Him making the final was enough for me but seeing him running his heart out to get that bronze means alot. Their coach must be over the moon right now. I can't get enough of Bolt! The guys just oozes charisma and the people just love him

    nice to hear. i really want to see the park. will definitely try to get a ticket for the paralympics. i do hope the paralympics get as much media coverage and is as popular as the olympics.

    Well done Jamaica for winning silver in the 4 x 100 relays! Great run by the Americans, well deserved gold medal. Let's hope the Jamaican women can bring us gold in the 4 x400 and the men in their 4 x 100.

    Bway, team GB bad luckid in the relay sah!

    lol I might go to the Commonwealth games it depends who is gonna turn up, but I'm really angling towards a Rio trip.
  • ackeebee
    ackeebee Posts: 1,042 Member
    Yea, commonwealth games is a good idea. I know the next one should be in Glasgow but what time of year is it?

    Rio is on my "to do" list as well but not sure I want to wait that long

    Ok cool. I might consider making a trip to Glasgow then. Been there before and wasn't keen on the place.

    Btw, what should I be looking out for in the Paralympics? I am still struggling to get tickets. It keeps showing that there tickets available but after you select them and entry the code to go to the next stage and it does it's search, it always comes back saying there are no tickets available. So far I have only been trying for athletics or swimming. Will keep trying.

    Enjoy the Paralympics. Even with their disabilities I am sure most, if not all, of them can do things I cant do.

    I can tell you who will most likely win the Gold in tennis (female) barring injury....Esther Vergeer. That girl is the best. She has not lost a match since 2003...and only once since 1999. Of the last 23 Grand Slam she has won 21...and didn't win the other 2 only because she wasn't there due to injury...lol...She is a beast in the wheelchair on the court. Go Esther/ Netherlands...that country sure knows how to produce great wheelchair tennis players.

    I almost got those ones the other day when they briefly had some more up, but by the time I checked again they were gone!

    I didn't get any park tickets but I told my mother to.

    You should try again Tony. I notice every afternoon they seem to put some tickets up but within about half hour they are all gone. Also if you use twitter, follow @2012TicketAlert and you will see all the tweets when tickets are available
