August 21, 200421 yr So, is anyone watching the Olympics this year? Usually, I watch a few things and then get all hooked on watching but this year is kinda boring to me anyways. I just saw the U.S. lose in basketball again this time to Lithuania. Aren't the U.S. guys a dream team of sorts or not?
August 21, 200421 yr Canada has 3 medals! Woo! Actually, that isn't alot, but I wanted to make the funky colour thing so woo for that!
August 21, 200421 yr the olympics bore me, they dont have the action that the regular sports do, seems like they dont take it seriously
August 21, 200421 yr USA is owning 8) Edit: im back. i woulda posted it in my going away thread, but i couldnt find it. if anyone could dig that up....much love 2nd Edit: Turns out i didnt put one on this forum GG memory
August 21, 200421 yr Author I just wanted to know what your take is on the Olympics as a whole not which country is winning what. Doesn't really matter who is winning or losing it is the spirit of the games and I am not feeling it this year. I just mentionted the basketball because it happened to be on a second before I posted this.
August 21, 200421 yr Kol_Klink] Aren't the U.S. guys a dream team of sorts or not? Not this year not like the last one.
August 22, 200421 yr i'm just wondering y table tennis is a olympic sport. and if its a sport then y isn't something like pool or fooseball an olympic sport.
August 22, 200421 yr most countries are beating canada in metals what do they have? 4? Can you not read? I wrote 3 in big letters. -e- Beside the big letters.
August 22, 200421 yr Author Apparently most of you can't read. This is a thread about if you find the Olympics interesting this year, not who is winning what. Like, don't type "hey, Lithuania beat U.S. in basketball" or anything like that.
August 22, 200421 yr EDIT: I get all soft in this post, so if ya don't like softness, skip it! I don't watch much TV. At all. I watch all NFL, some college football, and the Cubs. However, every 4 years I sit on my couch for 5 days. Those 5 days start this Tuesday at 1:30 AM Central Time. In Sydney in 2000, Russian wrestler Aleksandr Karelin (120kg) was seeking his fourth Olympic Gold. Boasting a record 3 Olympic Gold Medals, Karelin had never lost an Olympic bout. Over the past 13 years he had not lost a single match, winning 9 World Championships and 12 European titles. With a career reccord of 63-0, in the last 10 years of interanational competition Karelin had given up a grand total of zero points to his opponents. Considered to be the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler to have ever entered competition, Aleksander Karelin was defeated by Rulon Gardner, a 29 year old dairy farmer from Wyoming. In his first Olympic appearance, Gardner defeted possibly the greatest wrestler who ever lived by a 1-0 score in overtime. I'm getting all emotional about this...wrestling is such a personal experience...the dedication...the blood, sweat, and the thousands of tears I alone shed during my training. Nowhere else in my life will I ever feel what I feel about Olympic wrestling. As I watched live TV and wittnessed this amazing battle of human dedication, I had a sensation and emotional rush that will be surpassed by only the birth of my future children. The Olympics aren't about countries, or medals, or even sports. The Olympics are about dreams. Wrestling is just one way of fulfilling that dream. http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Bleachers/8651/khead.jpg Aleksandr Karelin If anyone wants to know more about wrestling, or any of this, just PM me. /thread hijacking :?
