Here's the official thread. 3 weeks left !

Well, well, lots of doping cases again this year I'm afraid... Hope we'll see some great 100/200 m races !

I just hope that Athens will get their security and stadiums ready so their wont be any terroist attacks by their local terroists or worldwide as what ive read its not looking too good of getting things ready.

WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!! just 10 days!

i see there is not many people who are interested in... but why don't you, G. P. post in your owa thread?

Hopefully more people will be interested as soon as the Games are started.

I can't wait for the games this summer. I think marion is clean too, she looked great in that maxim spread.

What sports are you going to watch? Favorite olypmic athletes?

I can't wait to see some ping pong at like 2 in the morning on NBC.

That's awesome.

The worst thing is I do the same with curling during the Winter Games

I can't wait to catch some martial arts, i'm sure that would be on at a random time too.

LOL, pinsleepe, I ca'nt pronounce a single one of those names, but now i'm going to be looking out for all of them when i watch.

I'm watching the opening ceremoney here... love the historical tour

god...the belgians were dressed like rats, yerss
all that slim gray..

those were the walloons, dexx

next tradition they should start with all the countries should be that the competitors RUN to their place, not this stepping *yawns*

Its getting kinda boring now.

I use to like the 800m and 1500m but we dont have anyone like seb co or steve ovett, these days. I also like faster races. Michael johnson was the king.

bleh....didn't even have the patience to reach romania....too slooooow they walk

Hell yeah! I'm dying to see Sada in fencing! I read somewhere that she's the first woman to be ranked no. 1 in the world in Sabre. That's gonna be awesome. Did you see Italy get the gold in Mens Sabre Individual today?

britain have won our first gold in mens synchronized diving

go american beach volleyball!


Edit: never mind....we lost...T_T but hey they did pretty good!

Better luck next time....

Brazil - Poland 3:0


volleyball

oooooooooh ok sorry
yeah didn't like the outfits either

britain done class in the relays....i was lovin it when our national anthem was playin when we on the podium...america looked stunned lol
but usa was the best country in athens though...but thats cos their country is bigger and gets more talent

The states got 99-100 medals now,... that's the number one spot of course, but they have almost 300 million people that can become athletes!
Belgium, to name a smaller country, got 3 medals, but they "only" have 10 million people. But if you put it on scale (that is: devide 99 by 30 to see how many medals they would get if they had 10 million) and they get 3.30; in other words: it's impressive but counting on their population it's only average...

Look at The Netherlands, they have 22 medals for 16 million people. To scale for the states that would be 5.28 medals, BUT the dutchies scored 22, that's much more impressive

Interesting.

britain have about 30+ medals...thats good for such a small country

Watching the Closing Ceremony!

Gotta tell you, good stuff!

My television watching just hasn't been the same without the olympics this week. So its time to reminisce, what were your favorite olympic moments? Athletes?

When Ham didn't give up his medal he didn't deserve.

that was a bad moment.

That just reminds me! On October 15, my skool had an olymipcs with like Sparta and all of those city-states! Two people passed out! One was Hector Z., passed out because too many people were counting on him so he tried so hard so he had to go to the hostipl, and my friend, Jason Grey, had an 'asthm' attack and also had to go to the hostipl. poor Jason! *V.V*
