It's very offensive of you. As a Chinese I feel angry about your post. How many do you know about Tibet?
You may think shouting "FREE TIBET" is a cool behavior, actually you know nothing.
I don't want to quarrel with you here, it's Olympics not politics.
Just remember one thing: Tibet was, is and always will be a part of China.
AND GO, CHINA!

good opening ceremony

Are they protesting for no reason then? It sounds like most people think they are being treated unfairly. I would think there's something behind that. It'd be nice if you could shed some light on it.
Dirk Nowitzki is opening for Germany!
Is the opening ceremony already over?
-
yeh, it started at 1pm British time.... 8am ECT (east coast time?) i think.
-
Sucks balls for me. That's 7 AM. I don't wake up until 1 or 2. Thank God I got a DVR. :popcorn:
Were there any problems during the opening ceremony?
-
as far as i know not. some counties i just never heard of XD
-
Looks like they're showing the opening ceremonies here at 6:30 (central time). I didn't see it on this morning. Am I not going to see anything live? Jeez...
-
All I know is that Canada was announced 62nd?
I'm so behind in soccer in the Olympics. Anyone know how the Canadian girls did against China?
Also, I heard someone from the men's US volleyball team was murdered? :saywhat:
-
Canadian girl's strong body VS Chinese girl's technique resulted a tie, 1:1
The murder? Where did the news come from?
-
Phelps gets gold in 400m.
2 Americans were stabbed or something, and the Chinese man that stabbed them committed suicide after.
-
phelps gold :bowdown:
and the Chinese women seriously got outplayed by Canada in soccer...but China came on strong late in the second hald and had Canada back on their heels

The United States won the 4x100-meter freestyle relay Monday, shattering the world record by nearly 4 seconds and giving Michael Phelps his second gold medal of the games. Jason Lezak swam the fastest anchor leg ever, overcoming a half-second deficit to edge out the French team by 0.08 seconds.
that sounds lucky to me
-
0.08 seconds.
Fucking US is so good at everything. :rolleyes:
-
That was the best race I have ever seen. Got up at 3 am to watch broadcast from the beginning but unfortunately fall asleep few minutes later :cursing: then I watched it recorded this afternoon and although I already knew that the Americans won I was so fucking excited when I saw the way they've done it :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
-
jason lezak
:bowdown:
i only caught the last 50 live. i saw the two at the turn and thought that there was no fucking way. it was incredible.
-
really insane race by the americans. lezak was so far behind the last 50 metres and then he wins by 0.08 seconds. the faces of the other 3 were great
-
Phelps gets another WR, and yet another gold.
-
that's a top race, such exciting
-
Phelps won 200m freestyle race and set a new world record-almost for a second better than the old one! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:(don't know is anybody surprised with that :biggrin:)
Americans really rule the swimming comp. Peirsol and Grevers were 1st and 2nd in 100m backstroke final and also Peirsol set another wr
-
China won 12 gold, well done :thumbsup:
-
the scoring in olympic boxing is fucking stupid
:cursing:
Phelps wins two more gold medals (200 fly--no surprise, 4x200 free relay--no surprise)
WRs in both
-
Yeah Phelps got a WR in every race, as well as gold obviously.
I hope he goes 8/8 since all the tougher races are out of the way.
The 4x200 free relay, the US killed everyone.
-

yeah....Phelps opened that half-pool (almost) gap and Lochte widened it, and then the other teams started to gain abit when the o0thers were swimming, but still, >5 seconds under WR time :bowdown:
In other news, China beat the U.S in women's gymnastics, which was the one I hoped China would lose because of all the controversy. Also, China is amazingggg at diving, they killed the competition...best diving country in the world :bowdown:
-
The United States' first gymnast fell, which was probably why.
Yeah China is sick at synchronization diving, it's like it's one person if you look at them from the side.
:saywhat:

Record after record! Wow!
-
200 fly--no surprise
word is he was swimming blind (his goggles fucked up on his start). he was having to count his strokes
while that by itself isn't such a big deal, he broke a world record in a less than perfect swim
-
there's something about phelps that doesn't seem right. the worlds greatest athlete at the age of 23? so much world records.
Drugs? honestly it just doesn't seem normal
-
Read about Phelps in the newspaper today. 5 gold medals and 5 wrs so far and 3 more to come?
-

yes.
I heard on the news that the small Chinese girl that was singing really wasn't singing, she was lip synching to a girl her same age that was backstage. The girl backstage wasn't allowed to be the girl singing onstage because she wasn't beautiful according to the Chinese officials.
That's fucking mean. :saywhat:
-
lol and some of the fireworks were fake. i think some shots of the feet/steps were prerecorded footage

mark spitz won 7 golds at 22. not every athlete in every athletic competition peaks at 28.
-
That's just him, he was literally born to be a swimmer. He has everything going his way. Huge arm span, and huge feet, make him go so much faster.

Something new on the whole girl situation;
The girl who was shown on TV evidently picked her nose and she is a daughter of former vice prime minister
-
tbf phelps competes in swimming which allows him to complete in so many different events to win medals: 4strokes, and then theres 50m, 100m,200m,400m
also relays, and then medleys.
whereas someone like steve redgrave had to wait 16 years to win 5 medals, yet phelps can beat him in 1 games, but i dont think this make him any greater than mr redgrave, as he was competetitve over a 17 year span!
anyway more to the point, does anyone know why carolina kluft is not in heptathlon yet she is in triple jump?? :dontknow:
and would u fck her? :dontknow:
-
Unbelivible tennis match today!!

-
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24179205-661,00.html
i would guess that this is much more than three times the daily caloric consumption of an average man
-
Something new on the whole girl situation;
The girl who was shown on TV evidently picked her nose and she is a daughter of former vice prime minister
her father is a journalist and her mother is a salaried employee
before Olympic she had taken several commercials, she's just a young star

i know, thats why i said based on total...
which is how NBC (the american channel broadcasting the olympics) showed it, so that USA would be first instead of china lol
-
The Americans are crazy, 65 medals. BEAST.
Phelps broke 7 world records and tied 1. BEAST.
Bolt broke the WR for 100m and he starting jogging half way through, the man is crazy, and I loved his dance and how calm he was. BEAST.
-
shouldnt you add it up? like bronze=1 silver=2 gold=3.
a country with 4 bronze > 1 gold.
in that case top 5 would be
China: 105+26+13=144
USA: 57+42+25=124
GB: 33+12+8=53
Ger: 27+12+6=45
Auz: 24+20+11=55
-
China rules
-
cmon we all know that china are on drugs, and 1/4 of aussie medals go to uk cos we own their country, and noone likes romania
and cmon that zimbabwe'an swimmer "coventry" is a fookin white girl, my ass shes from zimbabwe.
haha is it me or does joe cole remind u of SPUTNIK ,space satellite boy, what a willy
-
after Phelps won the 8 gold swimming medals:
Brazil said football should be classified into 3vs3, 5vs5, 7vs7, 11vs11, and played on sand, indoor, grass
GB said equestrian should be classified into black horse, white horse, red horse, yellow horse, gray horse
China said diving should be classified into 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, 8m, 9m, 10m
Kenya said long distance running should be classified into 10000m, 11000m, 12000m...
hope u laughed
-
It's true, there are way more events in swimming than anything. :saywhat:

haha is it me or does joe cole remind u of SPUTNIK ,space satellite boy, what a willy
i hate you
and yes phelps is lucky to have oppurtunity to win medals, but to actually be good enough to win gold in so many (actually very different) events deserves respect.
-
hmm.. he was only best in fs & butterfly as individual at distances of about 100-400.
altho saying that he won medley, so meh..but in a breastroke race that japanese guy would suck his cock mr cole!
seriously u 2 speak the same!
& oli susanna kallur fell today in semis :(, altho i think she was fitter in 2006 so ah well
-
POOOOR Kallur Im so sad for her, shes so cute. She was gonna win for sure, but she was too fast for the hurdle and couldnt get over with the legs.

It's official, Sweden sucks at sports. :thumbsup:

It's official, Sweden sucks at sports. :thumbsup:

Too bad that triple jump guy,Christian Olsson I believe, is injured...I bet that would be a gold medal for Sweden
btw.Swedish athletes will probably do better at the winter Olympics :thumbsup:
-
BOLT 19.30,, and the wind was against him, I think he can run under 19...
-
lol no, not under 19. maybe low .20s, but not under 19
amazing performance
-
under 19 is too extreme.
-
under 19 is too extreme.
The experts says that if it had been +2,0 it would be under 19, hard to know but i think it's very possible

was the 2nd british? i've only seen the finish. pieter van den hoogenband was co-commentator and he went totally mad. also maarten (the winner) has had cancer a few years ago, and now he wins a gold medal. that must be a good sign to all cancerpatients

yeh we led the whole way, but he got exhausted and started heading the wrong way causing us to lose, after the race there was 4 paramedics around him.
and that is amazing to come back from cancer and win a gold medal, especially in 10km swim. Hard event swimming for nearly 2 hours in open dirty water.

the guy that finished second was Welsh!
3 golds and 2 silvers so far :rockit:

I heard Bosnia or Serbia has the second tallest people in the world on average.
By the way, they need to give the medals point values. For example, gold is 3 points, silver is 2, and bronze is 1 point. That way you could actually figure out which country wins the Olympics. The Americans just look at the total amount of medals and not the golds.

well done beijing, amazing olympics.
