The Olympics

[Killbert-Robby]

I am missing the whole damn thing. Their "Fun morning and afternoon of sports!" is while I'm asleep <_<

[McDuffies]

Well, we got silver and bronze!

Current medal counts. Click on the countries for explanations as to what sport and athlete won what.

[Keffria]

Canada finally won a gold! :O

[TheSuburbanLetdown]

Watching the Olympic coverage on the news here in Ireland is neat, since the focus isn't really on America all that much, since that is what I'm accustomed to seeing.

And Michael Phelps took a 7th gold to tie Spitz's record. Awesome.

[McDuffies]

Canada finally won a gold! :O

You guys suck, I mean you're half of the continent!

I finally watched a bit of the Olympics today, specifically the second heat of the Men's 3000 meter steeplechase.
And one thing I have to say, Anthony Famiglietti was truly amazing. Running is the only sport I actually participate in, and this guy was one of the finest runners I've ever seen. He was obviously pushing himself throughout the entire thing to stay in front of the other racers. Of course, two of the other racers passed him during the very final stretch, but it's still an incredible feat by any runners standards.
Unfortunately, the Kenyans as usual look like a shoo-in for the gold in most, if not all of the running events. Anthony might be able to nab us a silver, though...

Do you want to win the next Boston marathon?

Duct tape yourself to the nearest Kenyan.

Wow, Australia's currently third. I guess we'll have to make up for this with epic fail at the Winter Olympics.

[Warofwinds]

I missed it! American's [Phelps and Co.] got the 8th gold by 1/100th of second! AND I MISSED IT?!

RRAARRR!

[MixedMyth]

...it's probably online, y'know.

But yeah, Phelps got 8 golds in an olympics that began on 8-8-08.

[Warofwinds]

But it won't be liiiiiive

[MixedMyth]

To be fair, most of the time it isn't anyway. <_<

[Warofwinds]

To be fair, most of the time it isn't anyway. <_<

And with that, my world is shattered. ><

*goes to glue the pieces back together*

[MixedMyth]

Hee hee. Here, try some epoxy.

Still, good run for the US. Yays! And man, that Bolt guy from Jamaica sure can book it. I mean, he wasn't even to the finish line before he slowed down and did a victory dance and he STILL won gold.

I guess it must be because we can't practice running with all the snow. :<

What is it with sprinters' egos? I mean, at least wait until you cross the finish line before you start showboating. To think what his time might have been if he'd bothered to run to the end.

I can't believe Germany has that many Gold medals ... *g* it's great, but I never thought they would have such a high rank in the medal list ... and I'm even more surprised Russia is not at rank three after China and the USA...

[KWill]

Well, Germany is ranked 3rd in the eternal ranking... (granted mainly because we had two Germanies competing for a while and the Winter Olympics tend to go to Germany as well).

and the East Germans fed their athletes steroids like they were Wheaties
