The Olympics Thread.
Cheer on your home country in here.
Also, what will you be watching, events wise?
I'll probably be sure to watch the football, swimming to see Australia dominate, and perhaps some of the athletics.

Have any of you seen the footage? The news reports whatever.
They (China's army/spec ops) have been training harcore for a while, running all sorts of scenarios. Apperently they have trained for over 500 different situations.
And they are leaving missile launchers and shit out in the open, on Olympic grounds, just cause they can, just to scare terrorists or whatever.
They don't want any fuck ups. And if something does happen, the perpertraitors will be severly punished.

Re: The Olympics Thread.
How the fuck are we supposed to top those opening ceremonies in vancouver in 2010. I only watched the first 20 minutes or so of what I can find on the internet and theres no way we can. I guess theres one benefit of having a population of 1.3 billion people, compared to our measly 30 million. People complain here for the money being spent on the olympics, not being spent on the scum homeless living on the streets. People there complain about the 1.5 million people relocated by the government, LOL.

Yeah it's quite obvious as to which countries the announcers don't like. They should shut the fuck up, I don't want to hear little political quips each time a controversial country shows up.

... swimming to see Australia dominate.
Really? I wanna see an Aussie take at least one event from the 8 that Michael Phelps qualified for.
Also, almost all of the sports in the Olympiads are beautiful. Its a beauty to watch the top athletes in the world compete on the grandest stage. But most of all i'll be watching the football, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, badminton, wrestling, track and field.... and every other sport except equestrian which is on right now :(

I really don't give two shits about how much gold the US gets, you know we'll get our share no matter what, so I'm going to be pulling for the underdog the whole time.

2) Criticism of every freakin thing the US does.
3) Video issues on NBC's end. Unexcusable!!
4) The McDonalds chicken sandwich commercial. The irony of Olympians eating a McDonalds sandwich is just hillarious. I wouldnt be surprised if none of them never ate there.
5) President Bush. Fuckin hillarious!! I seriously envied him getting a snapshot between the two hot volleyball chicks.

Well done to the rowers (mens fours) as well, and of course Rebecca Adlington smashing the world record for the womens 800m freestyle and getting another gold for team GB.

Re: The Olympics Thread.
Canada, finally getting in the rankings for medals... too bad our country invests fuck all into our athletes who don't compete in winter olympics. Poor fuckers.
Mens trampoline was a rip off though, sorry china, Canada owned that.

That would be a nice one if I gave even a corn of shit about our athletes performance in the Olympics or The Olympics at all for that fact. Phelps is a douche, just like Ian Thorpe is a douche.

Re: The Olympics Thread.
I still can't believe how well GB is doing, I don't think we'll be able to hold off Russia but a top 5 finish would be great lead up to London 2012.
Also I put £4 on David Price to win the Mens Superheavyweight Boxing yesterday

It's a tough choice, but I think I'd take Shawn Johnson over Nastia.

I wouldn't touch Shawn because she is 4' 9" and 16 years old.

Re: The Olympics Thread.
True, but a lot of totse users are 15-18, so it's not all that creepy. We'll just pretend everyone who finds her hot is 17.
Regardless of age Nastia wins. What's wrong with you people.

Re: The Olympics Thread.
I love how the american media is using total medal count instead of gold medal count to rank countries like the rest of the world, since they know that china is in the lead. Can't take the fact that someone else is beating them...

Re: The Olympics Thread.
Do you think medals should be worth points?
Gold - 10 Points
Silver - 3 Points
Bronze - 1 Point
Or something along those lines. With the current system, coming 2nd and 3rd seems pretty pointless: it just serves as a tiebreaker.

Re: The Olympics Thread.
They should do the medal count/score like GPA, make gold worth 3, silver 2, bronze 1 and divide by the total number of competitors they have.

Nah, the gold's devalued too much. The step up from Silver to Gold is far greater than the step up from Bronze to Silver.
And the division would disencourage nations from sending many athletes, reducing the chances of the underdogs getting the surprise gold: moments which make the olympics all that more special.

Yes, but gold = 10 and silver = 3 is far too big of a gap as well. 10, 6, and 3 sounds good to me.

Blah blah blah oh my god we're 16 gold medals behind. We're so upset. I guarantee you no one is losing sleep over the fact that we're not leading in gold medals. They've always reported total medals and right after saying the total the reporters say that we're behind China in golds. We have 102 total medals and 31 golds. China has 89 total medals and 47 golds. The next after that is Russia with 57 total and 17 golds. Believe me, I'm perfectly content with that and so is everyone else. So quit bitching.
