Sorry Jonny, my PC won't let me open the link!
but I can guess what it said. I know your country is second in the medals table.

and honour is restored in Basketball, the USA just beat Greece (that WOULD have been embarassing)

Great Britain are total crap, we are cheering when people come fourth, that's how desperate we are!

Jeez.  Look at you trying to start something.  Wendy, you are such a trouble maker.   ;;D

Well, we Canadians are tied for 36th place (uh, yeah, that's last place).  But we're having a really good time over there!  Why, just yesterday, we had a Canadian wearing a blue tutu and white tights "compete" in the men's synchro diving!  Kinda freaked the Chinese divers out though.

You have to be kidding! I missed that, that would have been choice!


It aint anything to shout about, but we are 23rd in the table. Funny thing is we've only got a pathetic 2 medals, and Canada only have one less!

The USA got beaten by Puerto Rico in the Basketball, and Roger Federer got wiped out in the first round of the tennis by an unknown (mind you so did that tosser "Tiger" Tim Henman, who I can't bear to watch)

Those idiot basketball players may have lost the first round, but USA is still winning the overall medal count!!

Go SWIMMERS!!  I would say "go track & field" but by next week all the drug tests should be completed so I don't know if we'll have anyone competing!  oops! Did I say that out loud?  [smiley=laugh.gif]

LOL Wendy,

I've been watching the olympics almost nonstop while I'm at home!  I fell asleep during Men's Gymnastics last night, but I was really enjoying watching it!!

I've always been a huge olympics fan, but I like winter games better than summer.  I skated and ski'd...so.... :)

So Federer lost right away?  Dang that sucks......  Wouldn't have expected that!!

Anyone watch men's synchro diving yesterday?  That was killer.....

We (Phoenix that is) just picked up Brett Hull and Mike Ricci....
Sure hope there's a season this yr....

Post by Mac on Aug 17th, 2004, 6:14pm
I'll be amazed if there is a season next year. They have to do something to get the NHL's house in order. Picking up Ricci and Hull were good moves. It'll be a step forward although trading Brier will come back to haunt them.

I like some winter games though.

Thanks Wendy, been watching, staying up, getting no sleep......lol

Loved watching the women's gymnastics tonight. As much as we all hoped for Romania to screw up something on the floor exercises, it didn't happen in the end. But, proud to have the American girls win the Silver.

AND MAN!!!   Just LOVED watching the American men win the swimming over the Australian's. Such emotion and thrill, enjoyed it much.

Glad to see someone else here enjoys the tennis too. Just wish they showed more of it. But, then again, have the U.S. Open to look forward to starting Aug. 30. And, gee whiz, where did this kid Mardy Fish come from. I watch lots of tennis, and really don't recall seeing him. Good match today against the Spanish, Juan Carlos Ferrera. Enjoyed that to start my morning for sure.

Oh well, look what you started Wendy...lol  I could go on and on, but don't want to bore you guys.

Swiiming was good too, 'cos we actually got a medal!

The United States is doing great.  China is doing a little better, nothing to be ashamed about.  Australia is also doing great also.   Great Britian has one silver and two bronze, which is really good, better than about half.

I would prefer the US has not been beat in basketball by a US territory, but our team has not been gelling and their outside shots are terrible.  And, of course, Puerto Rico played a great game.

Post by FZfan on Aug 18th, 2004, 1:32pm
love the olympics, winter or summer. watched quite a bit so far since some events are on Bravo, USA, CNBC, and MSNBC in addition to prime-time NBC.

To me, it's just interesting to see something different, such as saber, which I had never seen before. I like all the events, even the most boring ones because, no matter how boring an event is, it could hardly be more boring than major league baseball or pga golf.  ;;D

It's just too bad they don't perform as they did in the original games 2000 years ago - naked! Especially women's volleyball!  ;;D

To show you how much I follow the Olympics; I wasn't aware basketball was an Olympic sport. No problem though because I find Curling more exciting.

Sorry.

Men's gymnastics was pretty kick ass tonight!! As was the women's freestyle relay...forget the distance right now!  I love watching the olympics! :)


And Charlie...curling?? LMAO  Isn't that like..shuffleboard on ice?  hehe

Men's basketball is only cursed because AI is on the team and Larry Brown is coaching...it's a Philly thing.  I like Larry Brown, though! :)

The action is really in womens weightlifting. You actually get to see thier "snatch". I hear they even "clean and jerk" right on T.V. although I'll believe that when I see it. ;;D

That's why they show off thier snatches. Not as good as a doping test but effective in the prelims. Some guys like that husky look by the way.  ;)

Husky is one thing.  But I draw the line when a woman can bench press me with her nipples.

I think I may have found a common denominator about the events we are Ok in:
Archery, Sailing, 3 Day Eventing

Crap at Gymnastics, most Athletics, most swimming, ball sports etc

We need events where something/someone else does the work and we can be a bit unfit/drink/smoke etc and still win.

Dammit, we trash the World at Darts! Proves my point!

Wendy

P.S. I'm shit at Sport but I was a University Ladies Darts Champion, play best when drunk too. ;;D
Title: Re: Dare I mention Olympics?

anytime there is an event where being unfit, drinking and smoking is a requirement, count me in! Don't even care if I win or not.
