Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games

Sorry... most golds

 

Not sure where he ranks in most medals.

Bend over US, you are about to get screwed by the judges. I would have sworn we would be in the lead by a point or two. Why I hate the sports where humans come into the equation of judging performance.

 

they're leading because they're better. the americans are sticking the landings but the chinese exercises are insanely hard.

 

the triple twisty thing on the high bar isn't insanely difficult. I'd have given him straight tens

[shnsajax]

i don't know if they have a shot at beating the chinese, but they have a great shot at the silver right now with japan stumbling around like 6 o'clock at the karaoke bar.

 

They said the high bar was the worst event for the Chinese. If they continue to have one guy make a mistake per event maybe an outside shot. I noticed China's difficulty is way beyond anything any other team does.

 

i have noticed that. even if they goof up, they still get a high score because the routines are so difficult.

 

I think they need a guy to fall on his face to have a shot a gold. They are pulling away.

We need to drop goofy sports like football at the HS level and set up Olympic competition instead!

 

 

Can't let these peon third world countries take the gold.

 

 

Oh ya, like that is going to happen here in Texas :banghead: You may apply green text anywhere in this post

 

peon third world country? china is the largest country in the world and their olympic teams aren't just highly trained, they're bred especially for competition.

of course you would, which is the least of the many many many reasons you aren't a judge.

 

the americans aren't as good, they can't do what the chinese can. they're keeping up the best that they can, which is really amazing considering they've been patched together at the last minute

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Floor exercise definitely hurting the US here.

[Magnetic Curses]

someone tell haggerty to stop stepping out of bounds.

That is why I do not want to lose to them, esp. that swimmer who coaches himself and all the ones not with the sponsors or with profession coaches(and had to work at home depot) those are the people I respect the most. Ya, I love the "we are the world " crap but when it comes down to it I want to kick some major commilist butt. (commilstic=communism and capitalist)

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Nice job by Horton.

[Magnetic Curses]

[David]

and this makes me want to root for the chinese.

let's not choke away the silver now.

[SouthSideRyan]

Argh, that's a bronze at best.

[Magnetic Curses]

that tan guy is a spy sent by chinese gangsters to screw us up.

[shnsajax]

the Us just lost the silver.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I know we lost both Hamms, but we had someone attempting a 4.800 difficulty? And they couldn't even keep from messing that up?

[Magnetic Curses]

the Us just lost the silver.

 

artemev better swallow the pommell horse or something.

[Magnetic Curses]

that may do.

[SouthSideRyan]

May have just saved the bronze.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nothing less intimidating than hearing a male gymnast say "that's how we roll, right there"

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So the Germans need to average over a 15 to come back, right?

 

EDIT: 15.3, no way they do it.

[Magnetic Curses]

okay, let's not let artemev say anything to the camera again.

Reminds me of Mitch Gaylord in 1984.
