It's olympics time, does anyone care

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I dont give a shit and I wont watch any of it. Its bollocks.

Seriously.

Yeah...me too...But not because its in China just in general...

Its a silly games. Its not so much to ask that it be held in a modern democratic country. Zimbabwe is more democratic than China.

Nevermind the fact that they create this elaborate open air stadium....... IN SOME OF THE WORST AIR QUALITY IN THE WORLD!... Awesome idea, guys!

The Olympics there are a farce. And the air quality is disgusting. It sets a precedent for future Olympics. Humanity is going down the shoot. Fast.

The so called species that "has it all". It wont be long lasting.

We haven't started the Special Olympics thread yet, so hold on chief

[Kev]

Allow me to repeat my post from the other similar thread....


If you mean a repeat of the 1936 Olympics in that Britian will do shit then you are almost certainly right.

Every time it comes around the hopes of our pathetic sporting nation rest on at most 3 stars.

With Holmes, Redgrave, Pinsent, Macey all retired, and Paula injured we will most likely be competing with San Marino, Yemen and Saint Lucia for all the glory of going after that coveted wooden spoon.

Fuck the UK, we suck at sport and it's our own fault. Until the egg and spoon race, darts, snooker and bingo are recognised as events we might as well not bother watching.

For myself I'm supporting the Norweigan babe Kristine Engeset and looking forward to seeing who gets busted for drugs in the 100 meters.

Apart from that I won't be watching.

that reminds me they just called and told me to tell you that you need to register for the pole jump asap

Not only is Great Britain not participating in women's football (!), the games also started two days ago. USA lost 2-0 to Norway btw.

But yeah, cool that you can't wait.

I'm into it... The boxing and most of the track and field too. The sprinting has lost something for me though because there's always that doubt in your mind that someone has taken something to enhance their performance. The boxing with the electronic scoring hasn't helped either but the chance to see an amateur win a gold medal who in later years could become an all time great pro fighter is something special... for me anyway.

I intend to be at the 2012 games in London... can't wait.

Guess I'm the only ninny around here who'll be watching


Here's some Pyyros Dimas footage. Bad mofo Yes I'm taking over another thread; sue me.
