Ref was a joke! Are there any good refs out there any more? It's farcical.

Kudos to Danny Boyle and everybody involved, they absolutely nailed it. Proud to be British, for a change.

They just DQed that South Korean swimmer for having one of the greatest starts I have ever seen. What bull****.

Edit: Apparently they over turned it.

She got a lot of tens in that competition - I remember watching that
I also remember the girl in my class I had a crush on contorting her body in gym class in a leotard, when gymnastics got really big after those games
She was one of those "interesting girls" who could put their feet behind their heads.

I saw a big article about swimmers taking water in their mouths and spitting it out.
People have been sending in a lot of e-mail about the grossness of that I guess.

I wonder how many people have peed in the Olympic pool?
