Each day I keep coming onto the Olympics 2012 section of the forum but there doesn't seem to be much banter on it. I think its because there's so many events on and noone knows who is watching or playing in what!
So thought I'd put up a daily thread and see if that works
My first Olympic bet of the day :
Tony Estanguet to win the Mens Canoe Slam @ 3.2
probably got suckered into a short price on this as not much liquidity but he was impressive enough in the qualifiers to tempt me in
Well done Michael Jung of germany in the eventing . Now World , European , and Olympic champion , some performance from horse and rider . Unlucky for the Swedish girl , nicked the last fence .

GB really seem to be under performing, only the mens gymnasts have stepped up and exceeded expectations
florence in c1 totally bombed for instance
fortunately as I said on several threads, I have backed all the unders that I could get on (24.4, 23.5, 26.5 golds)
but I still want them all to do their best if you see what I mean

yes but I was expecting EVERYONE to step up produce their best effort whether that produces a medal or not
unfortunately many have seemed overwhelmed or just not on their game

but it's mainly the swimming that has been sub par so far. it's the most high profile sport of the early days.
it's not a sport in which we do or should expect to win many medals. how many times games after games do you hear the pundits say so and so has a decent chance of a medal and often get nowehere near

I was just talking about the prospect of a 'home games' factor. No evidence that Team GB is experiencing an across the board boost in performance based on results so far. In fact many are failing short of expectation
