c_s_1987 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Both the US men's and women's relay teams dropped the batons in the heats. Oh well, I guess I'd really prefer to see Jamaica win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Me too! It's terribly boring to root for teams that keep winning. Such as *koff* Australia *koff* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I read tonight that they're fixin' to investigate the little girl on the Chinese gymnastics team - He Xixan (sp?) because there was evidently something posted (that was removed 3 weeks before the Olympics began) on the Chinese government Web site that states her birth date as 01/01/94, whereas her passport now states it as 01/01/92.

Kevin Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 The Olympic Commitee has claimed that they are satisfied . ( And the comped penthouse suites in the Mandarin Oriental Beijing along with 1st class seats on Singapore Airlines and a little ' trouble ' cash didn't hurt either ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Have we already mentioned that Great Britain has the most succesful Olympic Games since 1908? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) That is the most amazing thing in these whole games for me , too , Farin ! Don't they usually end up with 5-7 assorted medals ?! 1950's-60's Britain : "Oi ! I'm not sure I like all these immigrants coming into the country . I think they're up to no good !

MarcM Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Modesty prevents me from saying. 2 people from my town have won medals, though. A silver in BMX (bfd)and a bronze in some foot race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 ^ it's better than synchronized swimming we're currently on #5 in the medal table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 OK, I am no longer modest (ie, I looked it up)...as of 4 hours ago: "The United States remains in the lead in the Olympic medal count, with a total of 95. That includes 29 gold, 34 silver and 32 bronze." Another one of my local athlete types is playing Japan in Womans Softball. She will either win gold or silver. If the Chinese get their medals in gymnastics stripped, we will have a few more golds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ireland won one bronze medal in boxing. We're guaranteed at least two more -- in boxing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Just tell me why , after all these years , there isn't a beer chug-a-lug contest ?!
