My you lot are quiet, here it is OLYMPIC time again but no comments here, some great results some heartbreaking losses.

TV coverage over here has been mainly at the pool, personally I have had enough of swimming as Media has built up these athletes so much, when they fail a lot of waterworks has been evident, Kleenex should be main sponsor.

Wishing all well in this patriotic time.

Bummer just watched Phelps get rolled by a poofteenth of in inch in the fly final.

Hey Boyza good result in mens field hockey

:wee:

Hahahahahahahaaha "poofteenth" best unit of measurement ever

I've had it on around the clock (having a hard time getting much work done during the day)....I think even the dog is into it. I'm a little disconnected from most of the starting summer olympic sports but as the weeks progress will be really cranking my interest up. Looking forward to the athletics getting underway. Watched one of ours in the road race time trials today - pretty darn proud of her. 5th place finish for our most decorated, multi-disciplinary athlete who's been at it since the late 90's. She's now "done" so I felt it important to watch her. But DAMN that American was fast and determined! Amazing things people do. Just amazing.

Kinda feel bad for the chinese girl who's being suspected of 'something'. I mean sure, if it is...it is....but could it maybe be that she's just on fire? Maybe not but poor girl, doesn't need the pressure of suspicion on her shoulders on top of the pressure of performing. I hope for her sake she IS dirty - then the pressure is deserved but if she's clean, to have been subjected to the scrutiny while she's trying to focus.....man that's harsh and better come with profound apologies from everyone concerned and then some.

Now let's talk about badminton.......heheheh

Wait until BMX starts has a ginormous roll in from start gate.

Waiting for Synchronised swimming, so I can go back to watching Comedy Central!
