i just want to see the basketball game
thats all

slider2828 · 06-23-2008, 09:47 PM

NO WAY BMXing like bicycle stunts or is that exhibition like stupid trampeleening (SP?), which I hope will never become a real olympic sport.

MikeisNissan · 06-23-2008, 10:15 PM

they should have taken out BMX and replace it with MMA.

BOROSUN · 06-23-2008, 10:29 PM

with CP on point and prince as sf usa got this!

i would choose over prince over any bigman.

this is a good team.

ZX88 · 06-24-2008, 12:05 PM

i feel bad for the runners. i went to china last summer in early august and the heat and humidity was umbareable you would literalyy walk out side for 10 15min and be drenched in sweat also the air quality thier is not very good. one cool thing though the staiums are really cool looking.

*revat619* · 06-24-2008, 01:41 PM

whats really bad for the runners is the pollution. The people in charge of all the stuff going on over there released a statement saying that the pollution would not affect the runners for up to an hour.

I found that hilarious considering i train as a sprinter, and you WARM UP for at least a good hour before the race even starts.

just1pepsi · 06-24-2008, 01:43 PM

Thats the price you pay to be an olympian.. Chinese Black Lung.

true that. i think the chinese government is made a law not to drive cars until the olympics is over. government cars can be on the road every other day or some weird rule like that.

ALTRNTV · 07-29-2008, 09:24 PM

The Olympics are 2 weeks away.

***enkei2k*** · 08-08-2008, 10:09 AM

it's finally here~! olympics baby! took them like 3 hours just to get thru all the countries. let's get this party started.

DUFFM4N · 08-08-2008, 12:07 PM

too bad Allison Stokke isnt in this year's olympics

stiizy · 08-08-2008, 12:08 PM

^^ Damn she can use my pole anytime she sees fit!!lolz

WERDdabuilder · 08-08-2008, 12:57 PM

i start choking and coughing when i just watch it on tv.
im sure a pole vaulter will get stuck in mid-air due to the thick dirty air.

only thing ill be keeping an eye on is basketball.

s13poop · 08-08-2008, 01:16 PM

allison stokke

Gnnr · 08-08-2008, 08:29 PM

LOL at NBC announcers on right now. I thought they where going to be politically netural and all that PC shit with their announcing, but they're poking fun of Hugo chavez and shit like that. lol.

*Rick-95ZE* · 08-08-2008, 10:18 PM

I have ALWAYS been obsessed with the Olympics

. The opening ceremony was awsome (watching on a 61'' HDTV

)...

S13_Nightkid · 08-08-2008, 11:13 PM

yeah the Birds nest was pretty cool. Man maybe im fucked up or something but i wanted that guy to fall or burst into flames while while lighting the fire...

lol!! FLAME ON!!

When he first got to the top and disconnected something

that made him shift at an angle, for a split second I thought one of the lines broke

womenbeshoppin · 08-09-2008, 12:07 AM

China has some hot chicks

*Sil-Abc* · 08-09-2008, 12:34 AM

GO CHINA! we will own

Flipzide · 08-09-2008, 01:29 AM

I loved the opening ceremony. Lots of creative stuff; especially the lighting of the torch and the calligraphy thing.

kdashy · 08-09-2008, 01:43 AM

Opening ceremony looked great in HD.

I probably won't be watching much of the actual events though.

karl wasabi · 08-09-2008, 03:01 AM

It will be very interesting to see BMX in the Olympics. haha.

I was amazed with the opening ceremony with all those people under those blocks, making waves and other really crazy patterns. I thought it was all done by computer or robots. I laughed my ass off when all those asian people popped out from under there. It kinda reminded me of diglet (the freakin Pokemon) lmao.

hahaha i was crackin up too! When they popped out and started waving at everyone i was like "WTF?!?! HAHAHAHAHA"

And as far as the whole medal race is concerned, im not trying to hate, but when a country accounts for a FIFTH of the WORLDS population and you have a team thats bigger than ours, you damn well better win the most medals. I dont get why they're making such a big deal about it. China sent litteraly hundreds more athletes this year than the 04 games. Why would them winning the medal race be such a potentially huge upset?

HyperTek · 08-09-2008, 02:05 PM

thats a trip i didnt know some countries have like 1 athlete and the US has like 647 .. crazieee

Because hosting the Olympic games means your country automatically qualifies for every event.

Being in an event doesn't necessarily mean a good chance a gold.

Olympics 2008: US coach's relative murdered in Beijing

Avante · 08-09-2008, 04:00 PM

i dont like china.

they wont even let Taiwan use "taiwan" or even "republic of china"

only "chinese (taipei)"

...assholes.

VIPDRFT · 08-09-2008, 04:41 PM

This is why we shouldn't have had the Olympics in China

A Chinese man attacked two American tourists yesterday, killing one of them, before committing suicide. The attack took place on the second level of the Drum Tower. The attacker jumped from the tower afterwards, killing himself.
The Americans were family members of a coach for the United States Olympic Men’s Indoor Volleyball Team.
