cause


i think it's boring to watch and i used to hate it when we'd have to play it p.e. in school.

great reason

mm, i think it's kind of fun to watch-i like how they set up and watching the sets and spikes.

i know

the diving is sooooooo good. i love the diving events, it's so fun to watch.

The Chinese just took it for Diving - Men's Sync 10m platform WOOOOOT.

And so:


China in first for gold, US first for total. But who really cares about those Bronze medals, eh?

jk;)

Like the Chinese are REALLY going to win more golds lmao!

^ Yeah right, when the Track and Field gets going we're totally f**ked HAHA. But we're a defo 2nd.

EDIT// But the way the Chinese steadily increase their Gold medal and total medal count at each of the Olympic games, you know that it'll only be a matter of time before we steamroll everybody. So you hold your tongue, honey.

joanne said f**k china, and go CANADA!

^ Canada is abysmal at the Summer Olympics. I am unwilling to support a team that continually fails (and gets no support from government funding)!

...I should take that back. Canada is not horrible, as they are good enough to compete at the international level, but never good enough to excel. *shakes head*

But I am going to cheer on Despatie on Wednesday, because he's actually good. :D And any other Canadians, especially if the USA are competing in that event.


Shit, I saw one that lifted 130kg. I think the Chinese girl actually lifted 138kg!!! It was insane.

Did I? =\


Whatever, I'm rooting for both Canada and China. I don't see why I have to choose between the two anyway. I'll be happy whenever either one wins something. =]

France sucks.

hey the china waterpolo goal keeper is kinda cute lol

^ Are you serious? I actually thought she was the least attractive of the entire team. =\

That game was pretty close. =(

thhhe one they just put in?

Oh haha didn't see that. =P

yea the first one was fugly lol.

&i thought you didn't like the olympics.

somehow, i cant trust China and their winnings?

^ What do you mean?

He means, THEY CHEATED.

I think he's implying some cheating is going on.

Edit:// LOL, too slow.

Naw, it ain't that you're too slow.








It's that I'm just 2Fast2Furious!

there goes phelps again

#11

michael is a BEAST.

Oh man, that Japanese dude f**ked up hardxcore on that vault. Jesus.

Am I the only one who thinks that, in comparison to uneven bars, the parallel bars are lame? The high bar isn't as lame as the parallel bars, but it's not as awesome as the uneven bars.

and yay for india for finally getting a gold medal :))

^ What event?

rifling!

Hey. That's cool.

Wait til track and field starts.

5 of the bronze came from swimming. It's better than having no medals at all. I can't wait until track and field and women's gymnasticssss.

I'm just watching whatever's on at the moment. I really like swimming and gymnastics; haven't seen any diving yet.

I got so excited when SNSD's (So Nyeo Shi Dae) "Girls' Generation" was played after one of the men's swimming rounds. <3

One of my old schoolmates is in the Olympics! Sandra Fong, 18, a markswoman.

OOh!
I'm watching Indonesia vs. Korea in mixed badminton right now.
The Indonesian team is really good.
I think we're tied now.

Damn! I think the US Men's gymnastic team is going to finish 3rd :(

Btw, there's a bunch of new hotties this year:
1. Alexander Artemev (Gymnastics)
2. David Boudia (Diving)
3. Thomas Finchum (Diving)
4. Peter Vanderkaay (Swimming)
5. Cullen Jones (Swimming)

and then there is, of course, Michael Phelps who looks eternally hot [to me, at least].

Kyle Shewfelt's pretty okay too. And he kind of reminds me of my physics teacher. xD

Mhmm...

I would think it'd be painful to have been him:

^ OMG that looks Photoshopped! Must have been horrible! Someone is SO gonna write FAIL on it and put it here: http://failblog.org/

And omg you guys, seriously? Michael Phelps? Hot? He looks better in action with that body, but dude. He totally got hit with the ugly stick.



Or, the ugly lower-half-of-the-face stick at least. Still, definitely an athlete I respect. Oh, but how I miss Ian Thorpe.

Can't wait til tomorrow! Women's Gymnastics Team Final and Men's Diving Sync 3m Springboard.

His ears stick out even more than Channing Tatum. Which is not attractive.

LOL, I swear all the swimmers look better with their caps on.

LOL! Awww, that's horrible.


Yeah. I'm not a fan of his face either. Oh man, when USA won the relay and he was yelling... NBC played it in slow motion and I swear he got hit with the 'tard stick.

-gasp-
I love Phelps' face!

Thorpe shouldn't have retired so early in my opinion.
He could've competed in this Olympics too.

Yes, cheating ruins my entire perspective for communist China's sports. How could their government let it slide? ;[

The competitors are sooooo youuuuung

Like Gigi said in the other thread, is there any proof that China cheated? If there was any suspicion that they did, the officials would have taken over and investigated everything.


It really really pisses me off when people just jump into conclusions about China. Yes, it's a communist country, but does this have anything to do with the Olympics? f**k that.

Well, the officials went by the athlete's passports, which said they were all (15 going on) 16, but when the country is the one issuing the passports...

People aren't really jumping to conclusions since the youngest Chinese athletes look YOUNG, like 13-14 young. Communism doesn't have anything to do with the Olympics, BUT putting out a strong showing means everything. They want to claim their place in the modern world (to which they have every right). Sometimes it seems like they'd amount to anything to look good in the world's eyes (i.e. the lip synching child in the opening ceremonies).

We all know that China's doing almost everything possible to make sure that those who came for the Olympics get their money's worth, etc.

Knowing that, can you really put the whole gymnastics thing past them?
Sure, the girls are amazing, but a lot of them really look younger than sixteen. Some look like they're barely 13!
The suspicion is valid.
And it's not because China's a communist country or anything.

If America [or any other country for that matter] had chosen to send athletes that obviously look younger than the lowest alloted age, the same suspicions would arise.

... that's what I was saying...

...then my post must've been redundant.
Whoops.
