Yes!!!! Ahahahahaha.  That's so not right that the USA sends N-frickin'-BA players to the Olympics.

I'm thrilled the US Men's Basketball team lost.  Hah!  They need a reality check.  They're always so damn cocky.   :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Remember when they lost that pre-olympic match about a week ago, too?  

Ahahahahahahahaha.

I wanted them too win. But oh well, Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan were sloppy and taking some bad shots.

I wonder why Kobe declined!  :evil:

*Go Slovakia and France*

w00t

Anywho.. I am not surprised that America lost in the first round in basketball. Not at all.

My mom gets into it. She'll yell and stuff. It wakes me up when I'm trying to sleep.

Well even though the US lost, I'm happy Puerto Rico won.

I wanted to slap the snooty woman that commentates the dressage.

Usually I love the dressage .. I feel sorry for the horses though.

Australia ALWAYS wins the Equestraian ... even when the lady had a broken collerbone, we still won ...

But the commentary this year is KILLING me. I can't watch it!

That is all.

sure thing! Nice to meet you ... :-)
Feel free to call me Z though .. that's what the majority call me .. :-)

The lady commentaring on the horses dressage was terrible.
She annoyed me with her snooty aweful accent ... which put me off watching what usually is one of my most fav. sections, and one where Australia usually wins ...

When's the tennis?
You know I haven't seen any of the heart wrenching tear jerking olympic stories yet which makes the olympics so wonderful, and makes them a celebration of humanity!!!
If anyone has, please share!!!

Yo, Zeeland! :wink:
Hm so tennis has already started... I know Saretta (brazilian dude) lost to Roddick. Haven't watched any other game tho but I remember Safin's game was on TV yesterday.
Gustavo Kuerten plays in a few... I actually thought his game would start at 9am but I found out it starts at noon lol so I went back to bed haha

Ohhh Brazil just won a medal! woo hoo It's a bronze one but still cool... In Judo it is and I've never heard of this dude but now I guess he'll be famous here lol

Okay Z...

Well I was watching gymnastics yesterday and their was a girl who dislocated her elbow or something and at 25 she was trying really hard to make it to the Olympics again, she said it was harder since she was older and she scored like a 9.53 and she was kind of sad and I think she did a pretty good job though.

I thought her story was sad.

Other than that...nothing.


The people who talk kind of annoy me its just jibber jabber that goes in one ear and out the other mostly.  :razz:

I agree, Zena!  Where are the great stories?  I swear Australia was chock full of 'em.  

Remember that guy from the African nation who volunteered to compete in a swimming event for his country's Olympic team and learned to swim only 9 months prior to the games in a pond of some kind near his home?  The man did not dive into the water gracefully, and had no kind of recognizable stroke.  He took twice as long to finish as all of the swimmers from the other countries.  As he struggled to finish his laps, the mostly Australian audience at the swimming center got on their feet and cheered him on like he was about to win the gold medal!

::wipes tear from eye::

This athlete's story was brought up again during the American coverage of the Opening Ceremonies.  Bob Costas commented that the swimmer might not be competeing this year in Athens because he was having trouble getting to Greece due to his lost passport photo.  Hearing the man's story again made me teary eyed, and then hearing that he probably wasn't even going to get to swim again made me even more upset.   :cry:

Men's Synchronized Diving is on TV right now.

Is anybody else out there noticing the perfect bodies of these divers more than the actual diving?  

yum



Ooh, I take that back.  Much drama in the pool today.
