Watching the girls 4x100 that was a disgusting hand off, who taught them to receive a hand off that way? My Special Olympic kids work with a simple hand-off that is so much more efficient than that. the coaches should be shot!!!

 

Attention USOC: I am offering you my services to teach your coaches and athletes the proper technique in receiving a proper hand-off. My consultant fee is reasonable 50K one time price. I will return that money if you fail to win the gold.

 

I guarantee that what you teach your kids to do will destroy any team running for a gold medal.

This gem from the guy complaining about a silent protest supposedly causing violence.

Come on.

 

You said a silent protest = causing violence.

But then you said the coaches should be shot for bad coaching.

 

Impressive.

Why would you say that? do you know me or the technique I espouse?

 

They used a hand-off that went out with the late 70's. I think in 22 years of coaching and having only one drop, and that is because she was insistent on doing what the other coach told her, give the technique credibility. colleges that use it include Tennessee women's program Baylor, Penn, Penn State, SMU and the US Para-olympics, and taught to the Special Olympic competitors at the 2007 World Games.

 

The US has relied to heavily on their raw speed rather than great baton passes which they needed more when dealing with the likes of the Jamaicans.

but if you are going to sell this game to anybody in the US you need to induce some type of excitement in scoring. Why else do you think they get rowdy at Euro games they are bored to death and drunk.

 

Though that is just the opinion of 299 million Americans

 

298 million of which will then wax philosophical about the awesomeness of a 1-0 pitchers' duel, or wet their pants over a 21-14 football game (5 scoring plays in 210 minutes of viewing vs. a 2-1 soccer match having 3 in 115).

 

Don't kid yourself, Americans don't like soccer because Americans aren't raised on soccer. Same reason almost no one likes baseball who isn't raised on it.

2nd set has been really close...Dalhausser has had some huge serves so far and they're up 10-9 right now.

 

By the way, anyone else think Dalhausser looks like Billy Zane?

Don't ever let Dalhausser spike. Man he puts it away about every time.

Apparently the IOC is now undertaking an official investigation into the age of China's female gymnasts. Costas announced it a little bit ago.
