Skipping the whole thing, not for faux political reasons, just not interested anymore.  Some of my co-workers mentioned they weren't watching the Olympics due to China's human rights record.  Might as well just not buy anything ever if that's the case, 'cause everything is made there.

Fuck the Olympics in China.

Seriously, the point of the Olympics is human equality through competition from around the world.

So that means Iraq can't have a team and we are going to have it in a country that restricts their own people's culture.

Fuck the Olympics in China. Wake me up when they quit pissing on a united world vision.

IF the criteria for olympics hosting is mere econ/military supremacy, then CHina deserves this hosting.

if the olympics is supposed to symbolize brotherhood, and peace through friendly competition, then china doesnt deserve this.

of course, any kindo f criticism is labeled 'anti china' and 'troublemaking', so whatever.

From The Onion:

Bush To Olympians: 'Bring Back Lots Of Valuable Gold'
August 6, 2008 | Issue 44•32
 
WASHINGTON—President George W. Bush delivered an encouraging motivational message to Beijing-bound Olympians Monday, urging them to "compete swifter, higher, and stronger in their pursuit of gold" so that they may achieve not just the glory of victory but the hard cash value of the much-needed commodity. "Truly, victory and pride are beyond price, but gold is currently going for $916.78 a troy ounce," Bush said in the Rose Garden speech, delivered just hours after he was unable to secure an agreement with the Chinese ambassador to forge the Olympic medals out of debt-relief certificates. "In striving, you uplift the hearts of all Americans, but in victory alone will you actually get something that can help us out of the current economic slump. I mean, silver is barely over 17 bucks. Might as well drop out at that rate." Bush later held a closed-door Oval Office meeting with swimmer Michael Phelps, whose possible eight gold medals could potentially help the Olympic team break even on travel costs.

oh brother gymnastics is coming up

Speaking of which, whenever they showed Shawn Johnson in the opening clip for tonight's activities she was standing there in her gymnastics outfit with one of the biggest camel toes I've ever seen. I kinda did a double take thinking am I really seeing what I think I see.

...its pretty sick of me to be talking about a 16 year old like that isn't it?  :(

I would normally say there isn't; however, this 16 year-old looks like she's ten.

Bush is stupid hur hur hur.

Because of US military regulations, the flag is reversed when it's patched on the right shoulder of a uniform. It's done this way so the flag appears to be advancing when soldiers walk forward. Since Bush's flag isn't on his right shoulder, I don't see how that photo supports your position.

Quote
Display flag with canton on the right (canton is the blue field with the 50 start).  Display canton facing right when displayed on a casket, when displayed as a decal on the right side of a vehicle (bus, truck, plane, etc.) When worn as a patch on the right arm (but use on left arm is preferable).

 

As for actual flags. . . .

Quote
When displaying flag with canton on the left (canton is the blue field with the 50 stars), the canton of the flag should always be to the observer's left.

Sure, he was displaying it to the forty people directly behind him, and not to the thousands of people in front of him, including the swimmers who won the race, or to the cameras displaying the flag to millions of viewers. OK

Watch Phelps on his push off, he swims down much farther than anyone else.

The swimming suits are why records keep breaking, the technology just keeps getting better and it's getting people to swim faster.

Phelps utilizes the dolphin kick off his starts and turns more than some competitors, and that gives him an edge. Natalie Coughlin does the same thing. You can stay underwater dolphin kicking for freestyle and backstroke for up to 15m off your start and turns, which is a good portion of any race.

I was a competitive swimmer for a long time. I LOVE watching Olympic swimming.



But HOLY SHIT, did you see men's gymnastics!?! I can't believe we got a bronze! That Jonathan Horton was a total babe, too. :heart

I always watch the guys on the rings, and I swear it looks like the hardest event ever. I won a physical fitness award in high school, and part of the qualification was being able to do a 7-second bar-hang or a single pull-up. I had a hell of a hard time with one pull-up. I can't imagine having the sort of upper body strength needed to do the rings. Maybe that's why they're only an event in men's gymnastics?

Quote
At the Albertville winter Olympics, condom machines in the athletes’ village had to be refilled every two hours. And in Sydney the organisers’ original order of 70,000 condoms went so fast that they had to order 20,000 more. Even with the replenishment, the supply was exhausted three days before the end of the competition schedule. (For the record, athletes who were in Sydney report that the Cuban delegation was the first to use up its allocation.) Salt Lake City in 2002 went even bigger: 250,000 condoms were handed out, despite the objections of the city’s Mormon leadership.

But HOLY SHIT, did you see men's gymnastics!?! I can't believe we got a bronze! That Jonathan Horton was a total babe, too. :heart

I always watch the guys on the rings, and I swear it looks like the hardest event ever. I won a physical fitness award in high school, and part of the qualification was being able to do a 7-second bar-hang or a single pull-up. I had a hell of a hard time with one pull-up. I can't imagine having the sort of upper body strength needed to do the rings. Maybe that's why they're only an event in men's gymnastics?

I bought a pair of gymnastic rings recently for Crossfit training. I could do pull-ups and dips etc on a bar(s) already but holy freaking crap, they're so much harder on rings. The stabilization element just cranks it up about 10 notches. Just holding yourself in the arms-locked, top-of-the-dip position is brutal - the first time I tried it, my arms shook uncontrollably. Rings are an amazing strength training tool, especially considering they cost me $50 and you can use them damn near anywhere. Unfortunately, you quickly realize that having a low bodyweight is 2nd only to upper body strength when it comes to the rings...

North Korea, for instance, has 1/50th the population and is even poorer, yet has five medals (I realize that totalitarian regimes can focus what limited resources they have into sports training).

Can anyone even name one great Indian athlete (cricket players don't count)?

Have you guys seen the closing ceremony yet? People are posting on GAF about it as though they're only just watching it now, but it was on hours and hours ago in the UK... really nice countdown and closing ceremony.

The handover stuff wasn't so good. The red London bus transforming looked cool, but I hated all the shitty art-school dancing that was going on around it. Jimmy Page, Leona Lewis and David Beckham = meh too. I want Brian May playing God Save the Queen on top of the Olympic Stadium, and an opening ceremony that is fun and over the top. It should depict British people, British history and British Culture, not shitty new-rave inspired bollocks and the shitty 2012 logo. They should ask Muse / Matt Bellamy to compose something that sounds like huge epic win for the opening ceremony.

(http://www.london2012.com/photos/olympic-park/stadium-sunset.jpg)

It should be good though. Where they're building "olympic village" and the new stadium is really going to regenerate a part of London that was badly in need of it. Other venues around the capital and further afield will be getting used well, and provided they go about it right, everyone will get into the spirit of it. Before we all die in 2013 (lol).

One things for sure though... there's no way we can cough up the billions the chinese did and put on a show like that. I doubt we'll see a games like that for many years. I'm glad they delivered... I'm not particularly happy about Tibet or their human rights record (not that I really care either if I'm being honest), but seeing the Chinese vindicate themselves in the face of justified criticism... just winning us all over with great organisation and a great Olympic games... that was still quite satisfying!

Ironic, reading the AP report of the closing ceremony:

Quote
"After an army band played the Chinese national anthem, hundreds of gayly dressed dancers, acrobats and drummers swirled onto the field, then made room for the athletes, strolling in casually and exuberantly from four different entrances. "
