The 2012 007 Olympics ~ Final Medal Table

St_George · January 2012

So then, peeps, here it is - my first tournament of the new MI6. Oh yes.

And, fittingly, it's a biggie and hopefully a goodie. Yes, given that (on these shores, at least) this year is all about the Olympics - or so the media keeps on telling us - why not I, we and this forum jump on the bandwagon? Well, before the release of the next film, at least? ;)

Yup, the aim of this tournament, in an Olympics-style format, is through different events (or, if you prefer, categories) to discover a rundown of the greatest contributors to the cinematic James Bond - awarding, as we do so, a gold, silver and bronze medal (of course) to the top three in each event.

The tournament will, therefore, be made up of 26 separate events. And they are:

England (John Barry, Ted Moore, Christopher Lee and Aston Martin DB5)
B

Wales (Shirley Bassey, Desmond Llewelyn, Timothy Dalton and Roald Dahl)</ul>

The majority of the events/ categories will comprise eight or more competitors (very few events will comprise less) and, for each event, participants should vote for their top eight competitors, ordering them in the following fashion:

1st place (Gold) = 10 points
2nd place (Silver) = 8 points
3rd place (Bronze) = 7 points
4th place = 5 points
5th place = 4 points
6th place = 3 points
7th place = 2 points
8th place = 1 point

However, again in the manner of the Olympics, this tournament has a bigger scheme than merely seeking results on an event-by-event basis - with an international flavour. Each competitor in each event will be competing on behalf of their country of origin and all points they accrue (by finishing in the top eight of their event) will go towards the overall total accrued by their country. This will be reflected by the display of an overall results table - or 'Medal Table - following the completion and reveal of the results for each event.

The countries participating in the tournament then, peeps, are:

England;

Scotland;

Wales;

Ireland;

USA;

Canada;

Australia;

New Zealand;

Germany;

France;

Italy;

Switzerland;

Austria;

Netherlands;

Sweden;

Norway;

Denmark;

Turkey;

Greece;

Czech Republic;

Slovakia;

Bosnia and Herzegovina;

Poland;

Russia;

Ukraine;

Azerbaijan;

Japan;

China;

Thailand;

South Korea;

Malaysia;

Jamaica;

Bahamas;

Cayman Islands;

Nicaragua;

Mexico;

Brazil;

Chile;

Haiti;

India;

Egypt;

Morocco;

Gibraltar;

Spain;

Portugal;

Monaco

So, with that general overview complete, I can now declare... the 2012 007 Olympics open!

Yes, the opening ceremony has been and passed, peeps - highlights of which included all 46 competing nations' teams parading into Blofeld's volcanic base (the organisers having been forced in these economically challenging times to turn controversially to SPECTRE for a venue), which saw Sir Rog and Dan The Craig trying to wrestle from each other the flag-bearing responsibility for a very strong England team; the Olympic torch being lit by an arrow shot across the venue from the crossbow of Melina Havelock; Conners treating everyone to his jetpack-flying skills and, best of all, Tatiana Romanova treating everyone to a streak, wearing nothing but her black neck-choker. Phew!

Yup, after all that methinks we may all need a wee rest until the tournament itself gets underway with our first event - see you back here in a moment, chaps... ;)

Good job! that the games begin.

St_George · January 2012

Right then, kicking off what should be a several months-long, revelsome and revealing tournament is our opening event, peeps. Yup, just as the real Olympics tends to - more or less - open with a bang with its 'blue ribband' event (the Men's 100 Metres Sprint, that is), we're starting with the event that should get this tourney really off and going. It's arguably the big one - it's...

The competitors:

Sean Connery (DN-YOLT, DAF, NSNA)

George Lazenby (OHMSS)

Roger Moore (LALD-AVTAK)

Timothy Dalton (TLD, LTK)

Pierce Brosnan (GE-DAD)

Daniel Craig (CR, QOS)

David Niven (CR '67)

Barry Nelson (CR '54)

So, the task is simple... please re-arrange the eight competitors above into your favoured ordering - first to last (greatest to least) in terms of their contribution to the cinematic James Bond.

Voting for this event should remain open for about a week, after which the results and the opening Medals Table will be posted in this thread (as well as in its opening post above).

And to show you just how its done, I'll open the voting...

1.

Roger Moore = 10 pts
2.

Sean Connery = 8 points
3.

Daniel Craig = 7 points
4.

George Lazenby = 5 points
5.

Pierce Brosnan = 4 points
6.

Timothy Dalton = 3 points
7.

David Niven = 2 points
8.

Barry Nelson = 1 point

Over to you, folks - get voting...! :)

He shouldn't even be in the running. I mean come on. "Jimmy" Bond? And he was a spy for the CIA while Felix was the one working for MI6! What a travesty.

I'm with you %100. Spoofs are trash in their own regard, but Niven added to the panning when he looked nothing like Bond! #-o

Not to mention being only being about 10 years too old for the role. The fact that anyone lists Niven or Nelson ahead of the 6 official actors is nonsense. I couldn't stand Brosnan but even I'll admit he was better than those 2.
