the olympics isn't just about competition. it is about the pushing the limits of humanity. get out to a track, run 100 meters and see how close you can get to 9.69 seconds. maybe then you will appreciate the games more.

pft, quake fags No matter what you say about quake, UT has one think that makes it much much cooler than quake. The redeemer
Speaking of games, im quite upset that there is no handball sim available to play. FFS we have a golf sim, baseball sim and other boring games, how are they better than handball. When i eventually create my own video game company a handball sim is one of the games we must make.

Take away the fun parts of soccer/footy and basketball, combine the two sports together and you got handball.

I watch the olympics a lot because it is really the only time you get the chance to see a lot of those sports televised. And honestly, the only time I give a fuck about most of them is when an olympic medal is at stake. Summer olympics are ok but I really prefer the winter games.

yea actually you just reminded me, i like the winter ones too and i will actually watch those and get into it. i also like watching bmx too. so i guess there's a few sports i like to watch on tv but they aren't the "normal" kind.

Nice handball match between France and Croatia going on right now. The goalies are pulling off some amazing saves. Though the judges are making some questionable calls but they don't seem to be favouring either side so its all good.

it's so easy to get sucked in. i typically don't give a shit about any sports but when it comes to the olympics and X-Games i am a fiend. i don't really follow stats or specific athletes... i just find it incredibly interesting to watch.

I'm really fucking tired of the olympics and all the undeserved attention China is getting for them.
Womens synchronized diving while stoned was fun though.
huh? If your in America, then why is NBC going to give the Chinese more airtime? Americans' don't care for how the Chinese does. China is airing plenty of themselves, and if other countries are airing what another country is doing, its because they must not have any althletes worth a damn to broadcast. China's female gymnastics team is finally under review and could possibly be disqualified for 3 of their members whom we all know are not of age. Yea lets gives a few cheers for the cheaters!

the chinese architect, ai wei-wei, who worked with the swiss firm herzog and demeuron to design that building, publicly disowned it after it became a propaganda tool of the government lol
