Yay! Men's Gymnastics got Team Silver!! Wow, those Japanese men on high bar were awesome.

Can I just say that I don't like that only 3 people compete and all 3 count. That is so not a team, a team has 6 people. WTH?

Can't wait to see the women's tonight.

My boy Juan Carlos Ferrero is out of the men's singles  :cry:


Poor Juanqui *hugs Juanqui*

And Spain still only has one medal

there's only four seasons
and this one's almost gone
these nights feel so good
but this one's almost gone

Women's Gymnastics Team Silver, that's awesome. I thought it was totally cute when Team USA, Romania, and Russia were congratulating each other. It was funny cause you know how those Euros like to kiss each cheek and our girls are all about the hugs. Then the Euros were trying to compensate, haha. I guess you had to see it.

Like I said before I don't dig that whole 3 go 3 count thing but whatever, it makes for even more stressful tv. I could easily go online and see the scores and who won but it just ruins the fun.

That taking Kupets out and putting in Mo (go Mo!) was kinda shady. But I guess she had to save herself for the floor.

mostly Australian audience at the swimming center got on their feet and cheered him on like he was about to win the gold medal!

I swear to God, Australian must be the single most ... how can i say it ... indescribable bunch of people EVA!!!! LMAO!
We LOVE the UNDERDOG!!! LOVE them!!! We cheer and chant and cheer ... oh forget the winner ...
I remember I was just watching the guy going ...
oh come on man!!! More out of frustration though :?
The next day, he was aaaaaaaaaallllllllll over the paper!!!
he was everywhere!!!
Forget who won!!!
Australian love the underdog, and cheer the loudest for them!!!
Australians love the really "battler" stories ... battler means like yeah the underdog .. someone who really has to try ... we don't care if they win oh NO!!! Just so long as they put their heart into it ... that's the Australian way!!! LOL
And beers afterwards LOL :-)

Also notice how every event was full in Sydney ... even the boring shit ones! :-)
I suppose because everyone's from everywhere ... and you can find any countrys people in Australia, so if australia isn't playing, there's some other country who has people of the same background somewhere in their heritge is :-)
Or because we have nothing better to do LOL

Not in athens!
So many are activities dead, and NO audience ...
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There is only one "brave" story I can think of ..
A swimmer girl (petria thomas) won TWO OLYMPIC GOLD (so far) after THREE SHOULDER RECONSTRUCTIONS!
That's couragous and full of blah blah ...
but sadly no sob stories ...

Remember in Sydney the american girl gymnast that broke her ankle when she landed after the jumpy apparatus, but didn't clutch until she bowed and did the doby thingy with her arms (you know how the gymnasts do the dooby ... pose, turn pose to show they "stuck" the jump?) then she collapsed from pain ...

Or the lady marathon runner that waited for her friend to run beside her? (Africa which country is ... black green red and borwn colours)
 
Or the cyclist dude who was "doing it for his grandad who used to wake up and take him to training but died", and then at the start or the sprint, his foot came out of the peddle, and it was all over!

bbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttt
DID YOU WATCH THE FENCING .. (Athens)
omg ... it was so funny!!! The girl was like jumping and dancing and psychoing out!!!

Yeah still no reall action ... no tear jearker ... bbboooo :-(

LET! Yes, the gymnastics is wonderful. SO much power and poise. I'm loving it. The women are so graceful, the men so powerful. I felt so sorry for the Romanias (men) though. Just because they tried so hard ... der it's the olympics I hear you say LOL
 
Was it the USA or the Japanese that won the mens team after all .. I couldn't stay up to watch anymore of it!!!

                                                        esta vida es un sueño y soñaré
