Olympics

well, the title's self explanatory.
Talk about all stuff concerning the olympics.

Whoa-Ho-Ho-Ho-ho the Beijing Olympics Opening was AWesome!!!

Whoaa.... good! good! Good!! ^__^

wow, go team philippines! though we dont have much delegates, still praying for the gold! wooh! and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the flag bearer!

I hope for a swiss win in the road bike time trial and the tennis championships.

And I'm especially looking forward to a great table tennis competition.

Go for the olympics!!

Spain is the favorite for the road bike.

I'm gonna root for anything in particular, but I can't wait for bicycling, soccer and track competitions.

FINALLY, SPORTS EVENTS MY TIME

*remembers when she had to watch euro 2008 from 2-4am T_T*

I like gymnastics ^^
And short racing <_<

*watching 400m swimming heats*

Lap 1:
Lap 2:
Lap 3:
Lap 4-5:
Lap 6:
Lap 7:
Lap 8:

Lol Li Ning (guy who 'flew') was pretending to run, you know XD
He needed special training to make it look realistic <_< But... maybe not lots of people saw.. xD that he was actually pretending to run XD

Grant Hackett ftw.

Yeah, his time wasl ike 3:54 right? Something like that!!

the fastest chinese was like 3:57 T_T he got 1st in his heat.. XD

but... that heat was on... slow crack <_< i swear when a chinese gets 1st place you know something is wrong... unless, he is really skilled, but we don't have any of those. >_>

Michael Phelps <3 his heat was on crack too! he was like 3:54 which is not that special compared to grant hackett's heat where 4 people were within 3:55 seconds <_<

I felt that the Chinese team depended too much on 3 pointers and when fatigue gets to you like marking a physically strong (comparatively) and fast "run and gun" team like the USA will do you suddenly find that your 3 pointers will miss all the time.

<_<

Not to mention that it's impossible to block a living meat block smashing down onto the basket without commiting a foul most of the time >_>

Women's Volleyball Cuba Vs China

First it was (games) China 1 Cuba 0

Then China 2 Cuba 0

Then China 2 Cuba 1

Then China 2 Cuba 2 (FINAL SCORE WAS 30-32 D: ) THIRTY TO THIRTY TWO. THERE WERE SEVEN MATCH POINTS D:

Wow...

CANCELLARA WON!!!

In...... cycling??!

Lol Cuba won in the end XD What an epic fightback.

Did u see Michael Phelps 7th Swim for his 7th Gold medal? IT WAS SO AWESOME AND CLOSE!!! And so far hes tied for the most gold won in a one Olympics and going for his 8th which has been held by Spitz for 36 years!

His start was was slow and was in last place for the first half then Suddenly He caught up to first AND WON BY A FINGERNAIL!!!! Everyone thought he got Second BUT DAMMMMM SO CLOSE!! 1/100 of a SECOND WIN!

I'll post a link to a video if i find one, none on youtube cuz 3rd party crap D:

Edit: This race out of the 7 total is the only one where he didn't break the world record. For this Years Olympics

Yep. Michael Phelps is unstoppable and a beast. I can't wait to see his last race. ninjavideo.net has all the videos, but I can never get it to work. Oh well.

Closest race ever, smallest unit for difference xD
Even when i replay it in my mind about how it ended now it gets me fired up. He thought the half stroke me made cost him the race but it actually helped xD
I hope he wins this next race!
