Has anyone other than me noticed that the events the Brits have won all their medals in require that you be sat on your arse for the most part?
 
 Sucked in the 4x100 relays for the doodles and brits no?

not all, but a definitely a high percentage.  
 
 i'm pretty stoked that in rowing, canuckistan's mens eight took the gold yesterday  

[Frank Gallagher]

I was rooting big time for the canuck diver-babe (smoking bod) yesterday. That last dive the chink did was good but all those 10'S...come oooonnnnn! Screams 'fix' imo.
 
 I felt bad for the doodle girl too, diving so bad in the last competition of her career. Fucked up tricep and wrist though so she was a real trooper.
 
 Finally, in the diving event those chinkie girls couldn't make a fucking splash if they did a divebomb. 4'10", 65lbs and 7 years old or whatever. My wife was saying how focused the chinese divers were until I reminded her it's not focus it's fear. If they don't medal it's off to the labor camps for the rest of their natural.
 
 Do you think the IOC will have the stones to strip the Chinese gymnast of their golds for being under age? I doubt it.

  Trust me, we're not watching the gymnastics because we're hot for the gymnasts. Well, maybe Vansmack is, but not the rest of us.
 

I am all the about the US' womens gymnastics squad. Liukin, Johnson, and Sacramore are so so so so so so so so cute. Like almost overwhelmingly attractive.

[Frank Gallagher]

Did anyone watch the BMX event? Is it just me or is that, well, just silly?
 
 It's like making an olympic event of me and my 5 year old son chasing each other round on our bicycles in the parking lot when it's empty on a Sunday afternoon.
 
 What's the next event? Backyard Hoops? Well, we're not far off really are we with Beach Volleyball?

one last "shot."  get a "load" of him.  a complete "package" of a swimmer.  isn't it "queer" that nbc did not cover him more?

Mitcham's a diver, not a swimmer.  Please don't confuse the two!

He needs to pull those shoulders up and back a bit.
 
 On the subject of divers....their 'thing' lasts about 1.5 seconds right? Then why is it after every dive they need a 30 minute shower then soak in a hot tub for an hour?

Because they don't do one dive and then it's over. They're keeping their muscles warm so they don't tighten up.

Then why don't they just wear those leg warmers like the dancers did back in the 80's?
 
 And why do they take those tiny towels up to the top of the diving board and keep stroking themselves with it even though they're not even wet?
