I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already. So here is a nice place to discuss your thoughts on any Olympic events. (yes I know the Olympics are a week old already)
Just a couple of issues with them for me. I'm very over saturated with Olympic coverage. Having had my own city host them 4 years ago. WE are constantly bombarded with history... not to mention that one of our major tv networks is showing nothing but for the next 21 days.
Other than that. Well done to all the Aussies for represnting ME (and any other Australians here) so well. YOU DO US PROUD!!!
PS
When I was 9, I beat Ian Thorpe in the U9 50m breast stroke. Ok so I cant compare to now... but hey at least I can say I beat him ;P

It's weird watching the women's 100m run with countries like Bahrain and Afghanistan, because the women still have covering clothing on.

Holland isn't doing too badly. A couple more golds would be nice. Maybe tomorrow in the swimming (De Bruijn). The hockey teams are playing well, so we still have chances (as well as in rowing, equestrian and track cycling).

Canada really seems to suck at the summer olympics. Winter olympics we pwn though....sometimes.
