    :D interestingly its the first time for a while that the mascots haven't been prominent on the tv screens, I quite liked them as long as they were good ones , they added fun to proceedings,however the Lion and his years effort are rubbish and im glad they weren't featured too heavily on the tv

    Why do so many forum members want to punch people - disturbing.

    Daft bleedin thing, couldn't we just have Olympics branded Teddies instead of inventing this oddness, that's before you get a children's entertainer to do 'skinwork' in a daft suit.

    Anyone who's willing to do mascot work isn't righted IMO.

    I wish I could find the link to that video clip where Wenlock is tearing along the track to reach Usain after one of his victories. The way he runs is hilarious.

    Bugger me, It's a knockout, that's going back a bit.
    Well a Giant would have about as much connection to London as a One eyed invented creature.

    Given that the crowd is off their heads already, the don't need geeing up with that thing.

    Why not do a Taekwondo and kick him in the head (obviously while wearing regulation head and body guards)

    If we have the giant we can have Stuart Hall on commentary, Belgians throwing sponges and women dressed up as medieval damsels with megaphones shouting 'left, left' to the giant - comedy gold :)

    Danny Boyle could have worked that into the closing ceremony.
    Olympians led round/out in by IAKO characters, then the IAKO all have a tearup/game, everyone goes home laughing.

    Probably couldn't get a consensus on who should do it from among the ranks of the Taekwondo practitioners :rolleyes:

    Well if you see it happen like that in the closing ceremony don't forget to put in a claim for your royalties

    Whoever chose the mascot,
    either hasn't got kids, or doesn't like them.

    They look a bit like a 1970s Doctor Who monster so if I was their agent I would get on the phone to Cardiff a bit sharpish :D

    When I saw him running up to Bolt I thought it was a giant penis.

    There should be a scene at the Closing Ceremony where the mascots get kicked all the way along the 100m track.
