Hahaha that's so funny...very cute pic :p...Yeah he is missing his suit. I still don't understand though...there was so much talk about the full body suit from Speedo before the Olympis and I don't see anyone wearing it...
By the way...does anyone else LOVE the jackets that the Japanese team has :crazy: :eyespop: :eyes: OMG ITS SO SICK I want one so bad! :whip: |

well some ppl are wearing the suits, or partial suits (ie. only legs, or legs and body but shoulders exposed).
if you're asking do they work, you better believe it.
as to why not every one is using one, thats a good question. |

| Well Thorpe is the ONLY one wearing a full body suit, and he's wearing an Arena suit...not even Speedo :) |

Olympic organizers boost security after Canadian fan leaps into pool
Last Updated: Tue Aug 17 09:16:11 EDT 2004
CBC SPORTS ONLINE - Olympics organizers have increased security at all sports venues after an unidentified Canadian spectator plunged into a swimming pool during a diving competition.
The man, bare-chested and sporting a blue tutu, scampered onto the pool deck and climbed to an adjoining diving board during the men's synchronized three-metre springboard event on Monday.
He jumped into the pool after about a minute atop his perch and was immediately apprehended by security officials at the Olympic Aquatic Centre.
The man, who was not identified by police, was arrested and questioned by a prosecutor.
Although the spectator appeared to have harmless intentions, Olympic officials took the breach seriously.
Organizers have spent an unprecedented amount on Olympic security and the incident exposed a hole in the supposed impenetrable safety ring at venues.
"We are going to put security guys around the field of play," Marton Simitsek, an Athens 2004 executive, told the Associated Press on Tuesday.
Olympic organizers said the man was trying to send a love message to his wife by getting on TV.
However, the message painted on his chest appeared to be the website address for an online gaming website.
The fan disruption turned the competition on its head.
The top-ranked Chinese duo Kenan Wang and Bo Peng appeared headed toward certain victory before the intrusion. However, after the incident, one of the Chinese divers landed on his back on his final dive and the team received zeros across the board.
Russian Dmitry Sautin then knocked himself on the board and American brothers Justin and Tony Dumais worked themselves out of a medal position with a missed landing.
Unheralded Greeks Nikolaos Siranidis and Thomas Bimis won the gold. It was the host country's first gold of the Games.

Hmmmm this morning were the heats for 100M freestyle (swimming) which is a huge competition, really exciting and the Americans really f-ed up :tongue3 :eyes: :wtf: which is really unusual...regardless we had 2 Canadians in the race and one of them was Rick Say who swam so well in the 200...but for both of them it says DNS which means Did Not Start...:wtf: :wtf: Why didn't they swim??
They did really well in the relay though so I'm looking forward to that. But another surprise, Thorpe didn't swim the Ausie relay 200m freestyle which he just won :wtf: wtf is going on??? |
