London Olympics 2012

South African-born England flanker Hendrie Fourie faces deportation having been forced to retire from professional rugby last week due to a shoulder injury, ironically sustained while playing for England. His club, S...

It was almost refreshing to hear that Rory McIlroy would consider not competing in the Olympics 2016 to avoid upsetting the national of either Ireland or the UK should he choose to represent the other nation. While o...

Yes Indeed, I have a Team USA shirt that I wear often that reminds me and keeps me inspired on runs and workouts.

I'm not difficult to motivate, so for me, it would be easy to simply say 'yes'.

Leading up to the Olympics (probably in early summer) I posted about how exciting it was and how excited I was getting. I was surprised by the complete lack of enthu...

I still feel really inspired by the games, there are so many great moments to think about when i am training or about to go out on a run.

The London Olympics has been referred to as one of those great events in Olympic history. We saw records tumble and some truly inspiring performances. Immediately after the games it was easy to be inspired by what we saw and witnessed. But it's be...

mo farrah for me - amazing race

Great question and one I have asked myself many times.

I’m sure there are many contributing factors but the chief factor is getting a large number of participants. The bigger the pool to pick from the greater the internal competition and the gr...

Yep! many a teary eye in my house Kirsten - and a mighty lot of screaming at the TV. The legacy from the games will hopefully be on many levels and provide economic benefits to the  people of Stratford and Newham as well as the whole country toget...

Nice of you to say that Jo and although I hate any form of discrimination I also feel that it is a shame people may have been denied the opertunity to witness the games. Because above all it was seriously hardcore sport. It is only by people wit...

you are the conscience of sport Nick - I love that you have are trying to draw attention to righting this wrong, and making people, especially people in this community,  aware of this disparity is the first step. 

There was little to no press coverage - Citibank did a decent job of posting on Facebook and that was about it besides the odd mention in the daily sports pages.  It's possible the NYTimes covered it - but I dont know for sure.  Certainly NBC who...

You're absolutely right Nick, the stories are inspiring and the accomplishments are remarkable, and every bit as deserving of attention and recognition as every other athlete on the worlds stage.  Thanks for posting this.

I had hoped to add this to existing discussions but it won't upload :(

The greatest summer of sport is over and I have enjoyed every minute of it. But I carried out a straw pole in the office to see how many were embracing the sporting spectacl...

Wow, wasn't Thursday night in the Stadium just awe-inspiring? Hurricane Hannah; WeirWolf and Peacock - we were shouting at the TV all the way through (you shout loud enough, they WILL hear you!). Was anyone lucky enough to be there in person? I wa...

wish i could of gone, was in germany

Totally inspiring!

Weightlifting, 2 events

I was lucky enough to get along to the Olympics - beach volleyball, gymnastics for a medal event, and an evening at the hockey. All awesome experiences. Pocket still hurting from the extravagence!

And then I spent Sunday in London also - was in the Stadium when Dave Weir got his 5,000m gold - nothing else to say other than 'Wow'.

I did! Best experiences of my life! The best two of the four events I went to were paralympic dressage (Natasha Baker's first gold) and last night at the Stadium - cheering Dave Weir on as he won his gold for the 5,0...

did anyone here go to the olympics and/or paralympics and if so, which sports?

Have spent today in London at various Paralympic events - absolutely amazing! I particularly loved seeing our Equestrian rider win GOLD for GB!!! :-)

I have just watched the men's and women's S6 400 meters finals - Ireland's Daragh McDonald wins gold for Ireland followed by Ellie Simmonds winning gold for GB. Two incredible performances with Ellie smashing the world record. If you are not watch...

I posted this http://tribesports.com/tribes/tir-na-nog/topics/the-fastest-paralympian-on-the-planet to the Tir na n’Og Tribe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l71iz94iGUAa while ago. Now really looking forward to seeing Jason run. He only just missed...

Yeah, she's won me over for sure. The analysis before the basketball re classification and points allowed on court was fascinating. Looking forward to watching some highlights of the athletics tonight
