He meant to do it.

It's symbolic of World War one.

He also stumbled and stopped for World War two.

Whats wrong with Iraq and Afghanistan getting a pop? I say congratulations and good luck. Why is it bad for a recently emancipated country to get a pop from the crowd. I bet thats the happiest moment in their lives. I don't get people.

BTW, how lame is this announcer bitch in the opening ceremonies, describing all this shitty symbolism in her monotone voice and fake enthusiasm.

"Oh, I love this one. That pile of shit represents the oppression of Greece during the war of 1812 and shows that all men are created equal aswell. Blah."

I guess this makes me ignorant in Moonax's eyes, but I have a random question.

I thought I saw on a map that the track events would be held in the building where the opening ceremonies are, but on the map I saw it aswell as today, the shape of the track appears to be an oval? Is this not the track venue or is the oval wide enough that a normal track is cut out inside it?

I thought the opening ceremony was gold. Really enjoyed it. Pity the fucking Australian media sit there yapping on about Sydney, yada yada yada, comparing Greece's one to the one in 2000. Fucking get over it, who cares. It was so good hearing all the media this morning say how Athens proved them wrong by getting the games ready in time. It's the way we are, we always leave things to the last minute but we always get them done.

In terms of actual events at the Games, I think I'm just going to watch the football.

No, just you.

Travel. Go and see the world. Meet people, learn a foriegn language. Read something other than ESPN for your sports news.

I guess the symbolism was just a bit too hard for you to understand. I enjoyed it.

beach-volleyball first up. China vs Australia.

Thoughts, opinions and discussions.

I'm looking forward to it because I enjoy seeing different sports. I hate the jingoism of the media. You'd think listening to the British and American media (and I am sure that is the same in Australia) that these were the only countries competing.

The Olympics are totally corrupt. Rife with drug taking cheats and prima-donna's but there are also some good things about it. I like the fact that sports like Archery get a bit of attention.

So anyway, what do people think about the Olympics, what events are people looking forward to?
You seem like a barrel of joy then

Now you know as well as I do that every country is going to put over their own stars and concentrate on their own athletes. Nobody in Britain could give a toss about how many medals China or Russia or Gambia win. British people want to watch British athletes. Same goes for every other country. You think people in Romania want to see the British?

As for the Swimming coverage, don't know about ESPN or any other station but all I saw on the Beeb this morning was Ian Thorpe.

Also have to stress that no matter how ignorant it sounds and how much shit people on these boards will try and put on me, I'm 100% Anti-American in these games. I'm supporting Britain first and anybody not American second.

Yeah the Romanian's will pretty much watch anything.

I saw Australia-bulgaria in the women's beach volley-ball. Pretty and some other weird stuff.

Although I think after about the 8th time I got the message that the british judo guy got mugged inthe last 5 seconds.

Mind you the cricket was on as well. So it was a good day's sport.

I like the fact they never mention that the torch relay is a Nazi invention along with the 5 Ring symbol.

America wouldn't have won that competition, or meddled even if they did give it what it could have earned. Fact is, momentum means a lot in sports. You don't have it, judges are more critical.

So, they had the mens gymnastics on at the bar I was at last night and they said that 2days before the competition the head judge told 2 us gymnists that some moves they do, won't be scored the same as they have been and basicly routines they had been doing for over a year they had to change 2 days before the olympics, one guy got a low score, the other added a new move that he only practiced once and missed it during the competition and injured himself (I didn't stay and watch, so I don't know the full extent, looks like he might have just knock himself silly).

Anyway, I don't know anything about the gymnastics... so, can someone who does help me out, why would they change the way they score something 2 days before the olympics? doesn't that seem like they just targeted these two guys?

LOL Team USA is gettin smoked by PR right now.

Its too bad guys like Ray Allen, Bibby and Carter turned down the Olympics. They are actaully shooters. Puerto Rico is just sitting back in the zone and forcing 20 foot jumpers and none of the guys from USA can hit shit. Got a bunch of slashers and cutters on the team, no shooters.
