i don't mind watching the olympics, its just that so many of the sports are really boring spectator sports. wheres the motorbike mounted chainsaw death matches already?
Swimming FAIL. Hockey FAIL. Badmiton FAIL. I'll even admit that the Mountain Biking can be dead boring (it doesn't have the tactics of Road. MTB is heaps of fun IRL, but to watch XC is snore!)
The Kayaking is fun to watch tho. I liked the Road Cycling too. Looking forward to the time trial. I like the Track Cycling as well. And the Soccer. Water Polo can be quite exciting even.
Ok there are some that are good. but a lot is meh. Who the hell wants to watch Synchronised Swimming for example. Or Rhythmic Gymnastics. ugh.
He's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up.
if they were going for a show of man power in the opening ceremony then they succeeded on that front.
the whole things was and is pretty gross imo.
i won't be watching.
Watched the equestrian cross country yesterday, and saw Shane Rose for approx 2 minutes.
Commentator "We have no idea how Rose is going since we can't get any footage, we can only assume he's somewhere".
(Note that he had the fastest time and least amount of penalties and we couldn’t even see it!)
"oh look, there's the Italian. That's right mate... la la la I don’t understand Italian. Maybe he's telling us how we're doing??"
Then the same for the hockey against Canada which we won 6-1. Got about 15 mins at start then end. Similar scenario for women’s basketball against Brazil.

STAB.
seriously those people really need to be put down, like shot, like slaughtered. i couldn't believe the shit they were saying.
that cool dance where the people had paint on their hands and were re-creating the picture from earlier on, and these absolute fuck tards call it, wait for it....the dance of the lost contact lens.
I'm not sure what event this guy was in , but I think he came last:
“Xing, a 41 year-old man, was calling from LanTian park in the middle of the night. The lonely and disturbed man had apparently thought it would be fun to have sex with one of the steel sit-up benches around the park.
The bench has numerous small holes in it, which Xing used to attempt to satisfy himself. However, once he became aroused he found that he was stuck and could not get his penis out of the small hole.

as for our basketballing Boomers, what a joke, we are getting schlacked in every game.
I dont see why the full court press against Argentina wasnt employed earlier than with 3 minutes to go in the final quarter, we were 20 points down, got the full court press going and whallah down to 10 points.
Pat Mills is so freakin quick, superstar in the making
have watched a lot of the lead up to this on sbs, including races on the track. the track is pretty sick. Massive concrete berm in there.
its so weird Sam Hill isn't competing, he woulda cleaned up I reckons. Jared Graves could easily gold tho.
Graves will murder them. Been watching the sbs lead up to, the nationals looked crazy. Havnt we got like 3 major contenders from Oz riding?
Yep
We have always been a major bmx talent pool. Ever since DH MTB and Dual Slalom and 4x MTB took off as sports its been doubly though so, as there is a fair bit of cross over between these sports.
Australia, France, and America rule the DH, and tend to rule BMX as a result (and of course vice versa). Especially our juniors. Theres something about Aussie kids and French kids that makes em just heaps faster than the rest of the world. The Poms don't do too badly too.
I mean Nicole Kidman was in BMX Bandits, so yanno makes sense we will rock.
He's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up.
just put $18 on a multi bet which i have Eamon Sullivan to win the 50m freestyle on saturday and Hackett to win the 1500m on sunday - total return $55 if they both win. GO AUSSIES!
$15 multi bet, Lisbeth Tricket (100m freestyle), Jessica Schipper (2002m Butterfly) and Lisel Jones (200m boob stroke) @ 57.95 return if they all get up.
Not into the Dressage at all but my fucking GOD I love watching the horsies do their skipping thing around the course. They swap from one foot to the other and it looks just darling. I can sit watching the entire event with a stony face but once the horsies start skipping, I start red lining the cute-o-metre. Awwwwww
