| I did this race in HS. I remember it was 3000 meters of running with an added bonus of not trying to fall in the water(if so you would be laughed at sooo bad after the race) :p. |

you jump on these large hurdles and then you push off them. If your too tired or even clumsy you will end up falling in. If you make it you will skim the edge of the water at most. |

| Being a former competitive swimmer myself, I'm looking forward to the swim events at this years Olympics. Michael Phelps definitely won't win every race, might not even win the 200 IM or 400 IM either. Ryan Lochte is crazy this year, all he's been doing for the past 3 years is training for the Olympics. Phelps has been out getting that cash, which I commend him for. Be prepared for an upset this year. |

pfft, NBC demanded (and got) the whole schedule of the swimming competition changed to suit American audiences.:rolleyes:
In other news, a member of Australia's BMX bike team - his legal name is Kamakaze:wtf: |

It's nice to know that NBC is pissing off the entire world for once! :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
As for NBC, they show more human interest stories than actual events. Plus most of the events were shown on tape delay.
Their coverage has pissed me off so much that I lost a lot of interest in the Olympics (both summer and winter) because of that station.
