they tend to win events that no one ever watches or hears about:
archery, womens weight lifting, etc...

I'm always glued to my tv when the Olympics are on, which means I don't get much sleep. I'm already a wreck and the games just started! I watch pretty much anything but some of my favorites are swimming, all track & field, soccer and any event that has a Finn competing I'm proud of the Finnish team because there are only 49 of them competing in these games (Finland is much bigger in winter sports) and are not expected to get any medals but we already got one gold and one bronze! \o/
Have to say, last night's men's swimming relay was nuts!

The Olympics are fake. You want a real sport? Watch WWE Monday night raw tonight.
