more?

tally update ...
Medal Tally   Gold Silver Bronze

 China 10 6 2
United States 6 7 6
Australia 6 3 5
Japan 6 2 1
Ukraine 3 1 1
Russia 2 5 5
Italy 2 3 2
France 2 2 4
Greece 2 0 1
Romania 2 0 1
Turkey 2 0 1

I don't know exactly why Australia is sssooo good at sports ... maybe pay way too much attention!!!

FYI ... Australia has a population of 20 million (we reached 20 million this June actually)
America 250 million
China > 1 billion ..
we're doing ok I think :-)

I think also this is PRE the fact AUstralia just won ANOTHER GOLD IN WOMANS DRESSAGE!!!
And a BRONZE in archery ... believe it or not I was jumping off my seat for the archery ... sad I know, but OMG those guys have nerves of steel!!! It wa like neck and neck. Italian guy won :-( bbboo it was a shoot off sudden death in the end  ...

Spain and Australia is playing water polo now .. Spain is winning 4 - 2 ...
They have about 2 minutes left .. unless Australia pulls off a crazy unbelieveable miricle like in Sydney ... I don't think so though. :-(

Brazil just lost to Germany in womens VollyB .. Hey jules are those girls like twins? or do they just look similar in sun glasses?

The time thing is killing me again .. it's 2am :-(

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 ...


That was in 96, Kerri Strug. The doby thing? Salute is what you say, haha. Yeah she was awesome, totally won us the gold

Quote from: "Zena"

Was it the USA or the Japanese that won the mens team after all .. I couldn't stay up to watch anymore of it!!!


It was the Japanese who won gold, USA Silver.

Paul is one lucky dude that the other men had errors too and opened the door. It was awesome how he could shake it off and do two great routines. It was cute that he didn't even know that he won gold. That was a touchy one for me. I was so tired and needed to go to bed early but I fought looking it up online and stayed up and watched, it was so exciting!!  


I know what you mean about his voice, haha.

Courtney Kupets and Carly Patterson going for it tonight, woooo, can't wait. I hope they can keep it together and be consistant. I guess we'll see.

Hell yeah!! Go Carly!! That's so awesome. I am glad Svetlana made the silver to end her career and could be happy about it. I mean Carly is like almost 10 years younger than her.

I am so glad that I didn't look at this thread, I wanted to watch it play out. I think I am gonna cry!!!!!!!

Yay for her trying to sing. I mean if I was up there (Lord knows I can't sing) but I would be singing that anthem so loud. I have watched so many Americans barely mouth the words or even try. I am sure there are hella emotions going on but still. Zena your boy Thorpe, he was a true patriot, he was all about signing proud when he won.

Haha, she actually knew the words!  I swear I have seen some Americans up there that I would bet had no idea how to sing our national anthem.  What a shame.

At last, some more medals for Spain! No gold though, the Spanish anthem hasn't been heard in Athens yet, how sad  :?

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