THE LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 --> OFFICIAL THREAD !!!

West Africa has 0 medals

interesting development... I wonder outside Nigeria how
many medals been won by other west Africans. And what sports
in the olympics?

Ghana and Senegal have won a few, Togo won the canoe medal last time, but in the main West Africans go to the Olympics for jolly-jolly....

Shame catch me small. My 85-year old neighbour caught me as I was attempting to sneak back into the house after checking the mail under the cover of darkness.

He wanted to know If I saw " the basket ball" game at the Olympics. His facial expression was a mixture of "WTF" and polite embarrasement for me. He was looking to makes sense, a sort of rational explanation for what he saw in the game between his country and mine. I wanted to swear to God Almighty and Hakeem Olajuwon that we really do know how to play basketball, but quickly realized that I would be clutching at straws.

I replied that I was aware of the final score, making sure that I maintained eye contact while trying to conceal my shame. I then quickly changed the subject by asking him about the results of his recent diagnostic exams and his 52-year old son. He paused, thought for a couple of seconds and decided against kicking a man who was already down. "The second kidney is working fine...," he replied.

At least you are honest about your experience after Thursday's tragedy.

Now imagine how 1 billion other Africans felt

Not as bad as our African champions saying "I do" while wearing a Kimono. Naughty Egypt you.

I watched the 400 m hurdle semis. No sign of the much bally-hooed Amaechi Morton. Whatever happened to him


Cheers.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

the olympic coverage in the US has been pathetic sha, same as the last olympics, you would think technology or commonsense would have caught up, i am sure they will timedelay the 100m final and expect people to pretend it hasnt happened

It has been that way ever since NBC got the hosting rights. They just show you what they want


Cheers.

Meanwhile, 7 Cameroonian athletes have absconded from the olympic village and are at large in the capital. Rumours abound they're hoping to avoid repatriation at the end of competition.

Africa's shame knows no boundaries.
