Olympic Games - Beijing 2008

[Sonic 296]

Its sorted by the number gold medals, meaning silver and bronze mean sweet **** all.

 

Anyway, I can't wait for these games to end, it just not that good and way over hyped, I guess you really have to like the sports to get any enjoyment out of it.

I honestly haven't kept up. Guys in server kept talking about swimmers... I was clueless as ****. I only pay attention to the Winter Olympics and even then I kind of daze off.

They were saying on the news here that it has been alleged that one of the Chinese shooters was having shots that missed counted as hits

[Luk3us 63]

Eh, always some kind of controversy at these things.

 

I still absolutely LOVE the idea of having a drugged up Olympics. That would be epic.

wow. it's only been a few days and i've heard over half a dozen different news stories and rumours about china cheating and doing bad things in the olympics XD; i'm sure the previous countries have done it too... i bet the west are just trying to make china look bad on purpose so that we'll feel more comfortable taking them on in the future xD propaganda i sez :3

I have a feeling that the games will end in some massive global controversy.

22 gold o_O are you sure the chinese aren't rigging the matches? or using steroids or something? a little lead i could understand but that's like, double the US score and then some o.o; and just out of curiousity, where is the UK in all this? xD i'm guessing pretty low... if i remember right, one of my support worker's kids is in the olympics o.o i dunno as what though i can't remember... but she was doing training and stuff... small world >_>;

Well in Gymnastics, the Chinese have dominated winning golds in every area possible. In this sport at least, there's a clear cut winner, because they are actually better than anyone else. Table tennis and badminton are 2 other sports they are dominating in, the former being their national sport, so they're guarenteed golds. Other events they've actually destroyed other nations in are, Rowing and diving. Diving is rigged, because the Americans are clearly better.

 

The American's are dominating in swimming. With Phelps breaking god knows how many world records, taking 6 golds (last time I check out of the 8 he's doing), and he can probably swim with his arms tied, the guy is just fast. Other events the states are expected to dominate in are the athletics track and field. However the men's 100M will probably be dominated by the fastest man on the planet, who's Jamaican, while most of the longer distance events will probably be won by some random Ethiopian.

 

As far as Team GB go.. well, our mens doubles have been dominant in the rowing. and well, we dominate the cycling full stop. Give us a bike and we'll ride it harder and faster than any other nation on earth. We've been crap at virtually everything else although I do notice we've won a few silvers mainly for the long distance outdoor cycling, and some a bronze or 2 for other minor events like some form of horse riding.

 

Yes I have been following it more than I expected.. But then it's the only decent thing on TV in the morning when I've been getting ready for work

[Mina Synd 0]

i was watching it this morning with mom whilst i was waiting for her to get ready o.o so i heard about that female british swimmer who got a gold... and the rowing team. and i saw the brits take 1st and 3rd in the pursuit cycling race o.O that was a nice crash in the race before that though xD the guy who got tripped (polish i think) must have been so gutted... but that's pretty much why i enjoy it. to watch the accidents in hope that i will see the world's most amazing videos happen live XD like that official who got hit by a javelin in the past xD i think there is a little patriotic excitement there... but some of the things, like the points race, were just kind of confusing... and too many people to know what was going on :\ if you sat me down infront of the olympics i'd probably enjoy it a lot but i'm not going to willingly put it on the tv xD

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Ethiopian.

Kenyan.

[BioBen 3]

Woot NZ have 2 golds!

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah and a silver and a few bronzes too apparently. Yesterday was a good day... Probably be the end, but a good day none hte less.

[Mina Synd 0]

nadal won the tennis =O not that he's english, but yey... i saw the last ten minutes of his championship a few months ago when he won... it's nice he's living the dream and making something of himself... and good for him for winning everything at such a young age o.o

[mormreed 0]

[Saracen 16]
