Usain Bolt is ridiculous. Literally jogged through his heat. Jamaican 1-2 for the medals me thinks

DrA 08-14-2008 10:01 PM

I think it's going to depend on how healthy Tyson Gay is. Anyone who has ever run track will know that those hamstring injuries are the worst thing that can happen to you.

Usain Bolt is a freak though. He is like 6'5 I think and he just gobbles that space up with his long stride. I predict he wins the gold in the 200, but for some reason I think he may not get gold in the 100.

CSL 08-14-2008 10:11 PM

I just can't see anybody getting close to Bolt. He almost looks like Michael Johnson with how relaxed he runs. I was sure it'd be between the two jamaicans with the uncertainty around Gay but Powell didn't look very comfortable

CSL 08-14-2008 10:13 PM

And now they are making me watch swimming instead of the other heats :|

CSL 08-14-2008 10:28 PM

TYRONE EDGAR WINS HIS HEAT!

That race is gonna be our only sprinting 'success' @ these Olympics :cool:

And Walter Dix is clearly a Jeff Hardy mark

Splaya 08-15-2008 01:26 AM

So proud of Lukin and Johnson up there tonight winning those gold and silver medals :love:

Bad Company 08-15-2008 07:25 AM

See the Kyaking? Mad crazy shit, the course is mad. Kyaks are made of Kevlar or something, fucking sweet. The pairs or whever they call them are nuts too.

Londoner 08-15-2008 10:43 PM

That was the most amazing swimming ive ever seen, first phelps snatches the gold at the VERY last second, then Adlington gets her 2nd gold at 19 years old for team GB!!!!

SammyG 08-16-2008 01:54 AM

7-7. WOWWWWW

MCEazy 08-16-2008 05:14 AM

Finally we win a couple medals!

Londoner 08-16-2008 06:12 AM

We've got a medal in the cycling and rowing already, and a gold/sivler secured in cycling tmrw, ahahahahaha.

CSL 08-16-2008 11:42 AM

USAIN BOLT

Skippord 08-16-2008 12:55 PM

awesome Rockies prospect Jayson Nix hits the game tying home run and breaks his face in the US' game against Cuba

Bad Company 08-16-2008 08:51 PM

Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell, women's double sculls rowing, gold

Hayden Roulston, men's 4000m individual pursuit cycling, silver

Woooo!

Innovator 08-16-2008 11:12 PM

It's official. 8 Gold Medals for Phelps

OssMan 08-16-2008 11:38 PM

Fucking hate Phelps

SammyG 08-16-2008 11:40 PM

WTF why Assman?!

Skippord 08-17-2008 12:02 AM

I also hate Michael Phelps

Bad Company 08-17-2008 12:16 AM

We call that Tall Poppy Syndrome in NZ. Way of life here.

BCWWF 08-17-2008 12:46 AM

Phelps is apparently a pretty big d-bag, from every account I've heard of him personally. Not that you'd really be surprised, I mean he is like 23 and has 14 Olympic gold medals.

Just goes to show

Kiwis do their best when they're sitting down and moving backwards :D

Bad Company 08-17-2008 01:33 AM

Yeah, but China is in the Northern Hemisphere, so we were going forwards.

Londoner 08-17-2008 01:35 AM

We've just got the gold in womens sailing. this is an amazing olympics for us, took us till the 5th day to get a medal the last time!

Lux 08-17-2008 01:40 AM

Womens Volleyball is on right now, might as well watch

toxic rooster 08-17-2008 02:03 AM

Well

swimming's over. See you in 4 years

Londoner 08-17-2008 02:05 AM

Were gonna go above the aussies in the medal table. :D Could be joint third with germans or above them by the end of the day. Perfect!

Londoner 08-17-2008 03:54 AM

And another GOLD, this time in the rowing.

Londoner 08-17-2008 04:38 AM

China just nicked the gold from us at the last second in another rowing final. Silver this time for us.

Londoner 08-17-2008 05:42 AM

Were now on our own in third! 2 golds 2silvers 2 bronze in the rowing,plus a couple of golds in the sailing i think today. To put this into further perspective, china/usa have over 640 athletes each, we have around half that!

Lux 08-17-2008 06:06 AM

Its all a work, like WWE & TPWW its scripted and we are all talent :rant:

Londoner 08-17-2008 06:10 AM

What country you from, 4.0?(oh sorry,i mean Lux ;) )

Lux 08-17-2008 06:26 AM

America, feel free to call me 4.0 at anytime :)

Londoner 08-17-2008 06:33 AM

Ah, we would be ahead of you if you didn't have phelps.:)

Lux 08-17-2008 06:35 AM

Thats right, history has been made... though he's a prick IRL which sucks, you want him?

Londoner 08-17-2008 06:36 AM

How comes he's a prick?What do you base that on?

Lux 08-17-2008 06:50 AM

My friends parents friend know him personally, apparently he's an ass. I have no opinion of the man myself until i meet him (doubt our paths will cross) and can make an assessment.

Londoner 08-17-2008 06:53 AM

We just set a new world record in the mens persuit in cycling.(we held the previous WR to) Were in the final tmrw v denmark.

Lux 08-17-2008 06:56 AM

TL even though our countrys are against eachother, i'd just like to let you know that no matter how many times we kick your ass ;) we are still friends

Londoner 08-17-2008 06:58 AM

No worries, Lux, you guys have more athletes,so to be third is a BIG achievement for us,wait till 2012 when we have the same amount of athletes as you, ;)
