    I wish they would have shown more wrestling. Granted, it was nice of NBC to show a match now and then, but where is all the love for one of the oldest sports in the world?

    If olympics soccer could become a big international tournament, it would be quite interesting and exciting.

    Well, speaking as a Canadian, I quite enjoyed these games. About 2 days into them, I had my wisdom teeth pulled and couldn't work for 3 days straight. I had nothing to do but sit around and watch the action. It was great...

    Some random thoughts:

    - Why is it that being American and a sprinter automatically makes you an asshole?

    - Does anyone else think that Shawn Crawford has really big man-titties? Honestly, the next time you see him race watch his pecs bounce. They've gotta be like a C-cup or something.

    - That Iranian weightlifter (the one who set the WR) is INHUMAN.

    - I still feel bad for Perdita Felicien... and that poor Russian she knocked over.

    - Sailing is possibly the strangest sport to watch. There is absolutley no feeling of speed among the boats. They don't even look like they're in a hurry. They just sort of mosey along in an agreeable mood.

    - Lorri-Ann Muenzer r0x0r! As I live in Edmonton (where she's from) I was totally psyched to see her win.

    - Those dang Chinese! Peng Bo and then Hu Xia (sp?) both wrecked Alexandre Despatie's hopes for gold. Espcially Bo. That guy was simply on another level for the springboard final.

    - My Olympic Moment: Watching Scola HAMMER it on Richard Jefferson (my most hated ball player ever, next to Shaq). Ye gods, I could watch that clip for days and never get board.

    Hmm, maybe because their ego's dwarf the length of the track they're running?

    I'm fairly certain he can bench more than you can. And it doesn't matter, he can twitch those bad boys.

    That's what gigantic amounts of animal roids (no joke) do to you. Just google for Ronnie Coleman and you'll know.

    Sailing is not a real sport. Only reason it's in the olympics is because sailors are usually rich... you get my point.

    Ronnie Coleman:



    Hossein Rezazadeh (World Record Holder)

    OK so us Brits will never top the medals table in the Olympics but we topped the medals table in the sailing for two Olympics running. Britannia rules the waves!
