I can understand the rationale of the atheletes, I however can't see it on the national level.

They are simply taking the modern club approach and applying it to the national level.

It's the same thing that the Yankees or Man Utd do.

Some people legitimately switch nations like Wilson Kipketer who was born in Kenya and now races for Denmark. He moved to Demark and is married to a Dane. His choice was influence because the Kenyan federation dicked him around and wouldn't let him race in Atlanta.

And Zola Budd sounded really English. What's your point?

And lest we forget all the 'English' cricketers.

Ottey has been running for Slovenia since 2002. She lives in Slovenia.

Merlene Ottey hopes to compete for Slovenia at European Cup in June

Monday, May 13, 2002

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) -- Former world champion sprinter Merlene Ottey said Monday she hoped her native Jamaica will soon agree to let her compete for her new country, Slovenia, so that she can take part in the European Cup in June.

Ottey, a former world champion over 200 metres, was granted Slovene citizenship last week. The 41-year-old athlete, who has lived and trained in Slovenia for several years, has won 20 world championship medals and eight Olympic medals.

However, the Jamaican Athletic Federation must approve her transfer before she can compete for Slovenia. Such a notion is largely formal, but the head of Slovene Athletic Federation, Roman Jakic, said he would ask his Jamaican colleagues to speed up the procedure.

Ottey said she hoped to be "able to compete for my new country in the European Cup and the European Championship," to be held in August in Munich.

"I hope to win some more medals -- this time for Slovenia," she told reporters. "And I believe my chances are excellent."

Ottey said she has been training both 100 and 200 metres, but was most confident in the 4x100-metre relay.

Ottey, who said she planned to spend the rest of her life in Slovenia, has given no reason for the change of citizenship. But her decision could be linked to her appearance for Jamaica at the Sydney Olympics. Although she finished fourth in the 100 metres, she was unpopular among some team members and part of the Jamaican public.

Ottey was a last-minute appointment to the Jamaican team, displacing national champion Peta-Gaye Dowdie after the International Amateur Athletic Federation lifted her one-year ban for testing positive for an anabolic steroid. The federation later ruled that a Swiss lab mishandled Ottey's sample.

They let Americans shoot guns? Look in the movies, it take 16 shots to hit one man. I would kill someone with a Super Soaker before a Yank hit a target with a single bullet

Apparently, the protestor was the same guy who ran onto the race track at the F1 race a while ago.

That was absolutely despicable to watch. Forget about the 10 or so seconds lost, just think about the psychological effects of having to recover from a shock like that...de Lima just wasn't the same after that. I have the utmost respect for de Lima for coming back to get the bronze, especially as enthusiastic as he was while approaching the finish line. It's too bad though because he deserved better.

Granted it's not much of a consolation, but they're giving him an additional medal for sportmanship and being the embodiment of the olympic ideal or something along those lines. I only heard about it through the local news.

Well, it looks like NBC will suck now since the Olympics are over. Their Fall line-up is pure donkey shit!

Seriously, what a cunt. I am kind of surprised that the two guys who won didn't give up their medals after hearing about that. People like that are what is wrong with Christianity, I could go on for hours, but thats not what was intended, I know that.

I was most suprised that the guy who won the gold medal celebrated the way he did on the medal stand. I mean, I understand he's a hell of an athlete, and to excel in that sort of sport is celebration worthy, but he had to know his victory was rather tainted.

I've always wondered something about these people who go to the olympics every 4 years... Do you have to know somebody to get there? Is the Olympics one of those "inside crowd" kinds of things? I was wondering that last night when the were talking about some athletes who were coming to back to the games for like the fourth time. I understand that they're hella athletes, but it just seems like you could "buy" the gold if you get my drift.

I barely understood that, but are you unaware that you have to meet qualifying standards to get in?

Granted there are a few exceptions, such as Iraq this year.

Damnit ECG I told you to keep your dad under control.

Ok now the Olympics are over a quick poll of peoples thoughts and opinions.

best athlete?

Goat/dissappointment?

Memorable moment?

best athlete - Catalina Ponor - three events entered, three golds. Criminally ignored by the media, and unlike other gymnasts there was no doubting the scoring of her events. Also, Ian Thorpe - forget the hype about Phelps, when it mattered Thorpe owned Phelps in the pool. Brad Wiggins in the cycling as well.

Hero - Amir Khan's dad. Just because.

Goat/Dissappointment - Paula Ratcliffe. The US/UK media for their lack of respect for non-American athletes and their parochical attitude.

Moment - Mark Lewis-Francis holding off Maurice Greene in the 4x100 and Darren Campbell calling Michael Johnson a wanker.

I didn't watch enough to comment without being called ignorant by Moonax, but I'll do it for the Americans only, since thats mainly what I saw.

Best Athlete: Phelps

Hero: The Iraqi soccer team

Dissapointment: Marion Jones not pulling through, American weight men

Moment: Mens 400 Meter Sweep, "Fab 5" Gold Medal

Marion Jones was never going to win a medal though. I'd be more pissed with your relay teams (although the womens 4x400 were on another level).
