I feel sorry for the enduro athletes who have to fuck their lungs up.
Phelps already has a gold....8 would be cool. Canada's supposed to have a revamped swim program that is supposed to produce atleast a few medals. would be nice I guess
What are they going to do with all those nice blokes on Hastings once 2010 rolls around? same thing they did with kelowna's? move them a few streets over...

I watched a great badminton match between Anna Rice (Canada’s top female badminton player) and Eva Green (some US player). And it was great. They were neck-in-neck the entire time but in the end, Anna came through and defeated Eva. I was cheering for Anna the entire time.

And then the next day I watched the beach volleyball match between the U.S. and Latvia. The U.S. team with Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser were the world champions and ranked #1. Then Latvia, rank at 21 of 24, defeated them. It was pretty amazing. But the U.S. guys were very angry.

“The Americans? We’re going to smash them. That’s what we came here for,” Bernard said.

Oh Bernard, you silly Frenchman. Don't you realize America always wins?

LOL in your face.

Hearing about Phelps depresses me... he's only 23 and he's already a world renown sport superstar. Not to mention all the endorsements and stuff. Kind of hard to compete with that...

I think I'll go freshen up my cat's litter box now... you know, while Phelps continues amazing the world...

If Phelps was an amazing start, then I don't know what to call Lezak. Absolutely mind-blowing.

Yeah, now they're just a Totalitarian Oligarchy. You can't be communist and participate in capiatlism, but that doesn't make their government less awful (not that I'm saying you think they're better or good).

My neighbor's son is a missionary in China, and he spends his life jumping from hiding place to hiding place because the "unofficial" Chinese gestapo are always trying to hunt down people like him.

China talks a big game, but its still a ton of lies and oppression. Just because the master gives the dog a few more links of chain, it doesn't mean the dog is free.

But overall I find it hilarious that everyone is saying how China is now the leading world power because of the opening ceremonies. It'll take a little more than that to impress me. Something like, oh I don't know... giving their people the right to choose their own government.

I like how the people in back (TV) were probably thinking "Everyone wants to see this again from many angles in slow-mo" and the announcers are just saying I think at least twice "We don't need to see this again" and it just keeps going! :lolz:

On a serious note, damn that hurt hard

I was watching synchronized diving last night and it was crazy. Though Canada lost their Bronze medal spot in round 5 and never got it back.

Booo.

Ah gawd! That was horrible!

I love how the Chinese come from out of nowhere and immediately form a wall around the guy though.
