View Full Version : The Olympics
As you all know, the Olympics are coming in over a month... Who's keeping track of it? Who do you think is going to win? And what do you think about the drug scandal surrounding the track and field?
I'm not such a big fan of olympics, but I mgiht go watch it ^_^ Even if I missed part of *looks odwn and sighs* but I wanna watch!
Has anyone seen the controversy in the gymnastics? They really screwed up on the judging, what were those people on?!

Yeah.I watch it.Channel 7 here is ALL about The Olympics, all shows and stuff cancelled until The Olympics is over.Which is kind of good and stuff and the reason being is - WE AUSSIES LOVE OUR SPORT, xD.
But anywho, Australia's coming 4th right now, unfortunately, we'll soon enough be infront of Japan and HOPEFULLY infront of China.
USA will win like they always do, many peoples, many talent or so it's called. :p We rule in Swimming, sorta.Except for Michael Phelps, his our main threat for the male swimmers.Thorpey is our best stuff, won 5 medal so far, 2 or 3 are gold.Female swimmers are pretty good always, they rule :P But yeah, atheletics we suck now.Without Cathy Freeman anymore since she retired we ain't no good in Running.She was teh best.China is good in Diving & Gymnastics and stuff like that, that's why they're doing pretty good and all.Surprisingly Canada hasn't gotten any gold medals, they did quite good last time, coming 2nd.
Yes infact I do have alot to talk about so screw you ppls getting bored, xD.
Anywho USA won their FIRST EVER medal for Beach Volleyball, the bronze medal beating Australia by 5 points.Amazing, xD and our best Hurdler Person - Jana Pittman is racing tomorrow in teh Finals I think some American lady is in it?I unno.I'll talk more later, wait oh noes, forgot!
The American Basketball Dream Team ain't no Dream Team.One of their worst teams ever made lol.They lost to Argentina, JUST beat us and stuff like that.They're good players in teh team, cept they don't work good together ask me.Meh, Australian Boomers(Basketball Team for Australia)is okay, ain't THAT good.Woman's one is pretty awesome though.

The Aussies are bloody ace divers. The gymnasts are good I think. What happened to Brazil in Women's Beach Volley Ball? The should've won.
May and the other girl beat 'em.... That's what. :p They are really good. But there's a controversy in gymnastics, they really did a terrible job on judging.

We suck in Gymnastics O.o Anywho, i'll admit it Kakashi. I HATE USA, though only during The Olympics, when it's not on then it's all cool, I love USA then, lmao.
Though I still love Australia more, don't make me change *waves fist*. Oh hell, the Aussie guy was disqualifted in the 50 Km Walking Race Thing. 2Km per lap and stuff, disqualified on like teh 8th or 9th lap and we were doing good, like Bronze or Silver, he had two warnings then finally his 3rd so he was disqualified.
Another man was disqualified and ignored the man, he didn't notice him and walked on til like 1 minute later where another man person thing stuck a red card in his way like they all do and then told him he was disqualified awhile ago, xD.

I hate Japan, us two are fighting over 3rd Position.We're like one gold medal infront, that is from the end of yesterday's results anyway so they might be infront or we might be in the lead by more medals.
China is your only threat, you know, they're the only thing that is close, Russia is like 8th or something o_o Also, Australia is up against USA in Woman's Basketball, we beat Brazil and you guys beat Russia.Meaning Russia & Brazil will fight for the Bronze while us two will fight for the Gold or Silver. Go Australia! Our Woman's team is way better than our Men's team, men's team sucks.Meaning, we have a chance to win, lol.

China is competition because they adopt children at a young age and trian them their whole lives simply for taht, if they fail they just drop them.

USA won the 200m Men Sprint. Gold, Silver & Bronze, what a score, lucky asses.Though that was old news, xD Few days ago and stuff. China has this 14 year old at diving O.o They said he was 14 years old, no wonder he looked young, seems like 10 to me, though.But when he gets older he might be really good, starting at a young age.I saw it last night on like some round of diving, 3rd Heat or something. Maybe Quarter-Final, I unno.
I think it was a third heat... But the thing is with Paul Hamm is that IFG.... Or whatever the hell it is, screwed up royally, and they won't admit it, they seem to be digging their grave more. Meh... Anyway... I heard about that diver, thought he was from Malaysia or something, but he's cool. Did you hear about Romania?

I always tell myself too watch the Olympics,
But i end up watching Anime.
lol.... It's okay, the Romanian team from 2000 is sorrounded by controversy, one of the things that happened I can't even say. Another tested positive for Sudafed, and another one wrote a controversial book about the dark side of Romanian gymnastics.

O_o Olympics Offically Over....Apparently Close Ceremony wasn't as good as Sydeny =D I didn't watch it, it was on 4am LIVE here and I it was a school night, though they're replaying it, obviously.
Anywho, USA cheated again, coming first.China came 2nd, surprisingly and Australia came 3rd, again. *sigh* Well I saw a Paraolympian today, he came to our school since he is like an old friend of one of teh teachers, he won a gold, silver & bronze, the whole set and we saw a Paraolympic Medal, wow, not. Paraolympics start straight after the original one, they're slack to it though, many commercial radios say it's not important over here so they don't advertise it here. It's on TV on a different, less-watched channel - SBS, xD.
Well, Australia still rule. And we won a silver medal in the relay, it's been like almost 50 years(I think) since we won a medal in the Relay.ALSO USA lost to Argentina in the Men's Basketball Final, :p Just had to say that.I can't believe it, so much for the "Dream Team" You guys usually always win. And Woman's we came 2nd, w00t.Russia came 3rd and USA won it.
