it's gotta be fun to be practicing against someone early in the week, then going against them again later on, knowing that you'll both be getting olympic medals

the women's volleyball team looks miserable. They might actually lose to fucking Japan.

8/9/2008 11:15:02 AM

8/9/2008 11:19:51 AM

tom is so hot

8/9/2008 11:20:44 AM

You know what I dont get, Ive never seen a Chinese or Japanese person (other than Yao Ming) over 5'5", yet all of these Japanese chicks are like 6'5" and taller....is there some secret breeding facility for Japanese/Chinese athletes that dont get to breed with the rest of Asian society? Its a conspiracy, hehe! hehe.

8/9/2008 11:22:24 AM

theres like a billion people in china so I mean if .00001% of the population is tall thats like 10,000 really tall people

and yes they do basically breed athletes. in some of these countries especially china they don't have little leagues, high schoo, college athletics they just have tiers to train and get ready for the olympics which is their "major sporting evnet"

[Edited on August 9, 2008 at 11:28 AM. Reason : they take 5 year olds and have them walk on their hands all day to gain coordination]

shes bringing us back singlehandedly. ace serve or great serves

8/9/2008 11:37:09 AM

My boss who is from China, although he is now a naturalized citizen, is around 6 feet tall. One of my best friends is Vietnamese, but has a Chinese bloodline and he's 6'1". My boss basically told me the same thing about the way they do athletics in China. They spot you early on if you have athletic ability and you train all your life. You don't go to the regular schools like the rest of the kids. It's considered a great honor to be selected. I don't know how Japan does it though.

The US and Japan are respectively ranked 4th and 5th in the world. Our team hasn't been playing their game though.

Did anyone see the shot they just showed of one of our women patting another one on the butt? It just seems more accentuated with the tight pants.

8/9/2008 11:41:44 AM

Whoo! USA women's volleyball beats Japan 3-1. What a great comeback in the final game. Nice to hear some USA, USA, USA chants going on in the gym.

finally a report on the pollution.

i know the Olympics are supposed to be about sport and competition but this shit can't be ignored. it's insane

8/9/2008 2:14:08 PM

really there isn't much short term affects unless its somebody that has a respiratory illness but this is definately going to take a huge long-term toll on all of the outdoor athletes.

8/9/2008 2:32:12 PM

what the fuck is wrong with asian people

Quote :

"BEIJING - A Chinese man stabbed the in-laws of the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball coach, killing one and injuring the other while they visited a Beijing tourist site near the main venue where Olympic competitions began Saturday. The victims were Todd and Barbara Bachman of Lakeville, Minn., parents of former Olympian Elisabeth Bachman, who is married to men's volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon, according to the U.S. Olympic Committee. Bachman's father was killed. The assailant also stabbed and injured a Chinese tour guide with the Americans. He then committed suicide by leaping from a 130-foot-high balcony of the ancient landmark the Americans were visiting, the 13th-century Drum Tower, the official Xinhua News Agency reported."

fencing would be more awesome if the girls didn't scream after every point

TWC has added USA HD, and the Soccer/Basketball HD channels in the 1500's (at least for the Fayetteville region)
