Olympics

What countries do you think will win each sport/event?

I see america coming out on top in a majority of the track events especially the 400

Its a shame that Haile Gebre Selassie won��t be running the Marathon. the world record holder fears his health could be endangered by the city's pollution.

He�s my favourite athlete, never stops smiling even if he looses.

I think its actually when they are competing which is the problem, you try running a marathon in thick pollution smog.

I heard a report on the radio today, someone who was there reported live that it felt like he was walking round with a constant weight on his chest, that expanding the chest when breathing actually hurt, that climbing steps was a major effort & other such smog related lack of air problems.

Sod that eek!

I think that mightve been a slight exagertation...but I understand what you mean records are gonna be hard to set, I was looking forward to a new 400 hurdle record....well actually couldnt they hold a lot of the events indoors

exaggeration? Ive done a bit of running in my time mostly 10 KM cross country. And running in them sort of conditions is very uncomfortable.

Running in general is subject to wild fluctuations based on conditions in either the weather or the track/course (depending on whether it's a track event or a CC/marathon thing).

I don't know why they let China host it anyway. The people were right to protest. Human rights violations, horrible air, and they're banning a bunch of internet-media resources that most civilized nations would be using in force, effectively cutting off a large portion of their media attention.

I couldn't care less. And I usually do. A shame, really. Though I'm rooting for Michael Phelps to win 8+ Golds to break the record.

There's more deserving leading countries. Having them host is a joke to what the Olympics are supposed to stand for.

And I run better as it gets colder, so I know the feeling.

Agreed, that opening ceremony was pretty dope. I like the several hundred Chinese synchronized dancers.

Why does the US seemingly without fail, almost always win the medal count? I mean China and India both have well over a billion people, yet the fattest nation on earth does so damn good in a sporting event.

Cause you have excellent sports programs in your schools and colleges. And still a good 300 000 people.

Oh. And lots of negros no expression
