The Olympics

[Aeon]

Well atleast we beat Greece 77-71, so Team USA are on they way back to the gold. And oh yea I watched valleyball for the first time, but to keep my manhood here's a pic from team Brazil.

Ooooh, Olympics! I generally follow for gymnastics (cuz those moves are as close to inhuman as it gets) and fencing (cuz I like it and used to do it in hs). Tonight I watched Paul Hamm come back from an embarassing slip and fall from the vault to win the gold. He went from first place to 12th with that fall, and then pulled an awesome performance on the parallel bars, and then a demi-godlike performance on the high bar.

I was however, getting a little pissed off. This was only possible because the people he fell behind kept making mistakes, a little mistake here, a BIG MISTAKE there (like when the guy from china whose name I can't recall missed a relatively simple grab for the bar and was forced to dismount the bar early, netting him a score that was less than a 9.0...) Not that I'm not happy to see america win, but I was getting pissed off at the mistakes which usually don't happen like that. I wanted to see awesome performances and have a nail biter of a competition with everyone at the top of their game. Asides from that little issue, I was thrilled. Anyway, enough of my ramblings. I'm looking forward to the women's gymnastics all around competition tomorrow. I like it even better than the mens competition, for reasons that are most likely very obvious.

do u keep a family tree?

Uchiha i agree with you.. i hate it when the results are decided by mistakes.. it remminds me of one of the first days with synchronized dives... all the leaders fucked it up in the final dive and like the three medals when to unknowns or something like that

Well, Hamm was considered the favorite in the competition. When he fell to 12th, the other competitors took a sigh of relief. "Ok, the American fell. This should be a breeze now." They just didn't come out with the same intensity as Hamm did in the final 2 performances, thus making mistakes and allowing Hamm to come back and win.

thats not a very close relative [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] he won yesterday i think in singles so he's in the quarter final in both singles and doubles now. GO SWEDEN! GO J-O

[Terracosmo]

Well didn't say he was a close relative, but still, relative.

And yes I have a short family tree at home.

[Hakeem_21]

I dont care about Jan-Ove but GO sweden![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Im looking forward to seeing Kluft,Christian Olsson and Stefan Holm, they are the only ones that can save the swedish honor in Athens.

i don't think that's short i think it's quite detailed. i think it's cool, cuz our family tree doesn't even extend to our 2nd cousins. in other words, i don't have a family tree.

damn missed the shooting competition

[Uchiha Barles]

Ah the lovely ladies of the artistic all around gymnastics competition put on a wonderful show tonight. There were no surprises except at the beginning when those french girls pulled out high scores to get 1st and second place after the first rotation. That was over next rotation. Carlie peterson (who looks like amanda bynes) won gold with excellent routines (and one of the perkiest floor routines I've ever seen). Good going. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

i'm watching man volleyball US v. Russia...US is losing so far. MAKE A DAMN COMEBACK!

i heard that there's not a lot of audience at the olympics. a lotta ppl bought the opening day ticket only. ppl couldn't afford it or something. the olympic committee or whoever wanted to give away free seats so it might look crowded but the greeks said no.

this has nothing to do w/ the olympics. but i'm going to europe and i was exchanging money...$200 USD only gives me 160 EURO. WHAT HAPPEN TO THE FORTY?!?! i know the money difference thing...but i still feel llike i'm losing money.

[Hakeem_21]

eurasian: the dollar goes down everytime usa bombs a small country to pieces[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

On topic: Tommorow the USA basketball team will chrushed by Lithuania mark me words.

I saw them against the Greek when they won by 25+ points
They have all the things the USA doesnt have,great defense,three points shooting lika no other team,big forwards,strong under the basket.

I hope the USA loses and shame thier self so that they can bring the best players in NBA in 2008 cause the ones in Athens except Iverson,Duncan,Anthony isnt good enuogh to be in a dream team!

[Eurasian]

US!!!!! don't lose!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stop bombing. i want my 40!!

*********after women 200 breaststrokes******************
that was so close. i was all tense. JONES!! i seriously thought she was gonna win. she was like a body length ahead of everyone and all of sudden Beard is passing her. it was that split second thing. Jones was so CLOSE!! i thought it was a tie cuz it looks like they both touched at the same time.

Do some female athlete undergo breast reduction or they just have tight dress.

I was watch swimming, volleyball and gymnastic and I kinda notice that their breast are kinda flat.


Maybe to be more agile they undergo breast reduction.

[Uchiha-Itachi]

The ippon within 6 seconds from Van Der Geest definately is the best move of the whole olympics, that was really the shizznit!

This has to do with many of these athletes developing their muscles at a too early age, which in most cases keeps breast sizes smaller than they should be... It is the same has if you start lifting weights at an early age you will probably wont grow tall

^^^the alcoholic is correct, and those brazilians look like men :/
