The Official Olympic Games 2008 thread

[philosopher]

i'm very impressed with the norwegian swimmer Alexander Dale Oen. he set a new olympic record in both his races in 100m breaststroke. i hope he can take the gold

Saw it as well. Because of that new swimming suit they are swimming pretty fast this year. Lots of new Olympic records, it wouldnt take long before we get some new world records.

Basketball USA vs China on the tv atm.

^^ China were playing better till they subbed in their 2nd rate players. It'll be close all the way by the looks.

 

[Maxmonzter]

damn china have good 3pt players, but i can´t see them winning this. USA will take this game

It would be a shame if they dont win.

 

[ironheart]

yeah the USA team looks very strong.

 

[tim290280]

^^ They seem to be all over China now. 17 pts, can't see China getting that back, especially with the turnovers they keep giving up.

Screw this I'm going to bed. I hate basketball, it's one step up from tennis, which is one step up from syncronised swimming!
I've seen no weightlifting again :angrydude:

Phelps already won his first Gold medal in the 400m, and set a world record!!

Take that Aussies :methman:, many more to come. I see him winning 7 more before the Olympics are over.

^ he's all we have though in terms of a dominating athlete in swimming. the aussies overall are better.

 

[Tonyk212000]

the aussies overall are better.

That doesnt mean shit expecially when we have phelps. So far the only mens event that has had a final was won by U.S.A and U.S.A also had bronze. Australia hasnt even medaled yet.

 

[Duality]

^ the games just started dude. talk like this is very premature.

 

[Tonyk212000]

^ Not really

Well when we win more gold's than they do in Swimming I expect you to take that back.

 

[Tonyk212000]

Fuck yeah America just won gold in the team relay (swimming) those french F****** were talking smack too.

Duality um I think that just shows im right. Plus you are American you shouldnt be saying that stuff

Actually I believe we have a gold and a bronze in the swimming already thank you very much. :angrydude:

Sorry, make that 2 golds and 3 bronze in the swimming. Suck on that.
