I'm not sure I buy it Kev. Equestrian and weightlifting half empty too. Rich fellas not showing up at 16.00 on Saturday for medal events??

Watching streams with no commentary is missing something. Looks like a great contest in the women's weightlifting but without an understanding of the weights and backgrounds of the competitors im not getting as much out of it.
C'mon electric cruise anyway!
Edit to add: when I say weight I mean the competitors weight obv as they are placed ahead if they lift the same weights but are lighter then their competitor. So clearly that's a big advantage.
Ireland currently placed 4th in the team classifications for the 3 day eventing but an awful long way to go.Last edited by V for Vendetta; 28-07-12, 15:16.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis KhanComment

See above. Plus you need to know the number of attempts left and the running order of the competitors. Basically all the stuff that makes it more then just lifting a bar over your head.Originally posted by Zod View Post

Ok first of all you want to get a hard drive thats reasonably big but not too big as you wont use it. I use my xbox a lot and have a 250g hard drive. I think for most people 100g would be plenty. I download all my games onto the hard drive too so it saves on laser usage which can cause the Xbox to wear down sooner. but if it gets to a stage where the hard drive is getting full you can just delete stuffOriginally posted by Bubbleking View Post
Secondly I think Kinect is a waste of money. Despite Microsoft putting a lot of resources into it the interest just doesnt seem to be there. The game selection isnt great and I can see it being phased out over the next couple of years.
Thirdly dont get a themed xbox it just adds extra cost and you get nothing extra with it apart from it looking fancy.
To give you an idea 2 years ago I bought my xbox new in Smyths with 2 controllers, a 250gb hard drive, a new game worth €45 and a couple of game vouchers worth €20 all for 240 euro. SO if I was you Id be looking to spend in or around that.
It really is a fantastic piece of kit if you use it to its max potentialComment

Boxing would be high up there as with only one contestant per country you can get medals without being highly ranked within your division. e.g, there were times in the 90s when the top ten in a division were all Cuban, but only one Cuban can go to the Olympics. So by definition the competition is diluted come Olympic time.Originally posted by Rufio View Post
Semi finalists getting a bronze medal also means there is an extra medal available than in other sports.
And the final bonus is that such a high percentage of medallists don't defend their medals as they have have turned pro.Comment
