Beijing OLYMPICS 2008

Its all sports!!!Who will be the Champion?

Ive been watching the olympics periodically. A few times during interviews held outside of the birds nest i thought it was morning because it looked so misty. I was later informed that those interviews were not held in the morning but were held during midday and that is the pollution 😂 Chinese have lungs of steel, man. I'm betting someone from china will be champion...,that is, if there were a grand champion.

The Olympics are boring for the most part imo. Water polo? Other countries thinking they actually have a chance of beating the US in basketball?

nigga please.

Good to hear from you guys...Share your thoughts and opinions about this year Beijing Olympics. What's your assessment?

Boring! the Olympics is wonderful and a high honor just being an Olympian I mean seeing the fastest men in the world compete for the title is heart pounding and exciting

Mainly watch the Armenians play. Thus far we have 5 medals. Not bad for only having 25 participants.

The Greco and Boxing matches have been good thus far. Can't wait for the Freestyle Wrestling.

You began your post by saying it's boring, then ended it saying it's heart pounding and exciting.

'tis a conundrum!

I was talking about you anyway by the time I was done someone already had a post up

Ah, alright. I get what you're saying.

As for it being heart pounding... I dunno. Certain sports can be kind of excitinng, most I find to be boring. But maybe I'm just too sheltered, iono. The only sports I can really get excited watching are American Football and the last quarter of Basketball games.

I run track so seeing the greatest of all time (bolt mainly) running is very exciting I would like to see how fast he can really go because when he won it looked like he was jogging

I was almost on a track team, in Shot put. I was pretty shnazzy too.

But, grades. 🙁

I once did have grade problems but it was mainly me not doing my work and getting kicked out of class for non stop talking

I'm a sprinter, I do the horse race

I like the way Americans played...I dunno Philippine Team...I hope Manny Pacquioa will play so that we can earn gold too.lol

Who is Manny Pacquioa?

Manny "Pacman" Pacqiuao is a Philippine boxer who made excellent records, lately. He was known to beat most mexicans in both lightweight and featherweight division.

Known as "Pac-Man", He is a Filipino professional boxer. He is currently the WBC Lightweight Champion and the WBC Super Featherweight Champion, and was the former world champion at IBF Super Bantamweight, and WBC Flyweight divisions. He is the first Filipino and Asian boxer to win three then later four world titles in different weight divisions. He took over as the Ring Magazine pound for pound number 1 ranked boxer in the world on June 9, 2008 after Floyd Mayweather, Jr. announced his retirement from boxing. (wikipedia)

Wow, well thanks for the info 🙂

The judges were unfairly overscoring the Chinese and underscoring the Americans in gymnastics. I saw 10 good examples of these. It's almost blatant.

I did as well, sucks pretty bad. That's the thing about the Olympics though. With so many different countries invovled it's bound to be tinkered with to extreme levels.

Didn't USA in womens gymnastics win gold in the all around
