Norway actually earned quite alot during and after the 94 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.

Hope your right there Brad. To answer the question of who would have predicted the recession, you make a fair point, and I know I don't stand on strong feet when saying iirc, but there was in fact someone who did predict it (if i can remember the name, i'll add it here), much like the way people predict the end of the world etc, but in that respect I can understand your point Wink

There probably were people who saw the outrageous risks the banks were taking, but they were not in a position to highlight it to the world/people did not take notice.

I just hope London 2012 is a big success now - it has started excellently, we will see how it continues! I do find myself glued to the screen, especially with all the red-button coverage. I was flicking between Beach Volleyball, Swimming and Badminton this morning Smile

Really enjoying the olympics so far. Havent watched much today, but really like the fact the red button allows you to watch whatever you like. Watched a bit of Womens Volleyball and the cycling this morning its all rather good.

Still cant beat Motorsport though Tongue

4x4 event today and a tarmac rally tomorrow. Perfect weekend. Tongue

I'm wondering what your answers would be to this question:
Should football, cycling (road), tennis and speedwalking really be Olympic sports?

Aus · 2012-07-31, 17:43

Speedwalking shouldn't lol. Tongue
