August 11, 200817 yr China is owning the us in medals, especially gold. It's almost as if their life depends on it.................. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
August 11, 200817 yr One event of how many in the Olympics? I'd like to see you beat China at China's game - Taekwondo, Shooting, Diving, Badminton, Weightlifting... those sports matter as much as water polo lol Maybe some of those are "insignificant" even while being major sports.. But weightlifting and shooting are very traditional olympic sports. Probably much more people follow those 2 sports than the forementioned basketball. They do matter. (I'd personally much rather watch basketball for the increased entertainment value though and agree with the water polo remark in general)
August 11, 200817 yr China is owning the us in medals, especially gold. It's almost as if their life depends on it.................. then how do you explain south korea in second place :geek:
August 11, 200817 yr I wasn't totally serious. I actually like watching badminton when it's on. Some of those rallies get insane. Esp. when two asian countries go at it. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

Korea is in 3rd for total with 8 People in glass houses should shower in the basement.
August 12, 200817 yr I don't know why, but badminton and table tennis attract huge amounts of asian players/fans. I watched some Table Tennis contests earlier on EuroSport via satellite and can't remember a single one where the final wasn't battled between some chinese/japanese men & women or the occassional singaporean/filipino. It's an extremely fast paced sport (don't think the olympics cover it though, not 100% sure)

But it's mostly because I suck at Basketball and rock at Table tennis. People in glass houses should shower in the basement.
August 12, 200817 yr I watched the mens swimming relay. I like to see people break records so I've been rooting for Phelps to win his 8 golds, I thought he had no chance when USA was losing by quite a bit with just won length to go. I think he owes his teammate (forgot the guy's name) a drink for making up so much time to help get that gold. Two down six to go....hopefully. Other than that I haven't kept up with the Olympics, maybe I'll get into it more when the more interesting events (to me) get to the more important stages. I'm really looking forward to seeing Bolt in the 100m. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
August 12, 200817 yr /cry Still waiting for Canada to win a freaking medal. :wall: Even Uzbekistan is ahead of Canada's 0 medal count. Combat FTL
August 12, 200817 yr Haha! Who's braggin' now, eh France? Epic. Someone should make a poster out of Phelps' face and the rest of our team's cheering. They had the most awesome faces ever. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

August 12, 200817 yr Epic relay much? Ping pong (Or as you western people call it, Table tennis) is an Asian sport. All the Asians at my school play it. (Including me) Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

August 12, 200817 yr Dang these Chinese are cheaters. Not only did they fake the fireworks but they are using like 9 year olds on their gymnastics team. My carbon footprint is bigger than yours...and you know what they say about big feet. These are the times that try mens souls...
August 12, 200817 yr Author phelps is a beast. 200 meters in 1 min 42! wow, thats amazing. i can swim 50 meters in about 25-30 seconds but i couldnt keep it up like he does.
August 12, 200817 yr The Chinese gymnasts are machines :ohnoes: Canada will get a medal soon... I know it...
August 12, 200817 yr Table tennis is dominated by china. It's as basketball was a while ago. The U.S used to be good in table tennis before sponge was invented for the paddles. Behind china are korea and japan. Also belarus and germany have stars. Sweden used to be a table tennis power also. China is so good in table tennis, that many of their athletes go to other countries to compete. Usa has 2 former chinese national team members. Table tennis is pretty fun, but hard to learn.

August 12, 200817 yr NZ no medals yet :P Not suprising though :) I reckon that Drysdale will win the single sculls however the twins are also improving.
August 12, 200817 yr Dang these Chinese are cheaters. Not only did they fake the fireworks but they are using like 9 year olds on their gymnastics team. Offering monetary rewards for Olympic performance is hardly in the Olympian spirit either, but doesn't seem to have stopped you offering $1M if does get all eight. Dang these Americans are cheaters! :shame: [/ignorance] | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 12, 200817 yr China is currently leading America in gold but I expect that to change soon. The Olympics have just begun and I expect big things from Phelps and the American womens and mens basketball team.
