RE: Starting of the olympics, who are you going for? by ddunk on 08-12-2004 at 02:56 AM

Actually, the Olympics started today :P  US beat Greece in women's soccer 3-nil and Australia lost to Brazil (don't know the score)

And I dunno, the idea that the stadiums aren't even done yet interests me more than the Olympics themselves this year :P

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by surfichris on 08-13-2004 at 10:53 PM

I'm surprised the roof hasn't fallen off yet, and i'm surprised that there weren't isles of seats closed off because they werent finished yet, that there weren't any construction signs floating around and fenced off areas.

The water idea was pretty good, i'm amazed that that happened.

Still, Sydney 2000 was > *

Go Australia!

:banana: but we got silver :banana:

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by Vazza on 08-19-2004 at 06:32 PM

Yeah, but that was a good match. At least the Brits were playing fair unlike the Chinese team who were trying every trick in the book. I got me thinking that if I had taken my badminton seriously enough, that I could be there :(
Anyways, a silvers a silver and not bad since its our first in that sport [Image: happy14.gif]

I watch it because of Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps.
They're cute. Swimmers, muscular, tan, tall. :]

But then again, I find the Olympics in general interesting.
I learned a few stories from it... lol

Like, the Romanian men's story about their inferior gym or something :p

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by sasquatch on 08-20-2004 at 01:33 PM

Men's Doubles : Chile wind continues to blow through draw

and

Men's Singles : MASSU (CHI) and FISH (USA) to do battle for gold

Basically it says that chile is in the final in doubles,and there were 2 chilieans in semifinals in singles.
Nicolass Massu won and passed to the final, while Fernando Gonzalez lost.
So we have 2 chances to get our first gold medal in olympic games :banana:
too bad we couldnt have a chilean final :(

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by sasquatch on 08-25-2004 at 07:23 AM

china is doin realllyyy realllyyy good this olympics, 3/5 badminton golds, 3/4 ping pong golds, 3/4 synchro diving golds and a whole s*** load of weightlifting golds :D still can't beat the darn US tho, but we're catching up, we're gonna beat russia this year, maybe we can beat US in 2008 in Beijing :D

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by RebelSean on 08-25-2004 at 11:19 AM

Phelps just gave up his spot in like his last race to his partner, can't remember his name, that was kinda dumb, but he still got a medal for doing that!

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by Pr0xY on 08-26-2004 at 05:46 PM

Yeah sean, I watched that.  It was kind of touching.  I cant believe he'd do something like that, but he did say the other guy was better for the race. 

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by Titty on 08-26-2004 at 07:57 PM

Phleps did a good job by letting his buddy swim the race.

It made him look unselfish.  He was swimming too many
races a day anyway, exhausting.  And he won most of them, it's
good he let his teammate try and win a medal.  He was hogging
all of them :p


And he's cute :]

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by Vazza on 08-27-2004 at 09:23 PM

Awwww...poor Paula Radcliff. She had to pull out to the 10000 metres with only 3 laps to go :(. Maybe she just wasn't ready after what happened on Sunday during the marathon...Didn't see much of the olympics today...might catch up later tonight though.

Does anyone know if Britain got their silver in the equestrion team event? I know our guy got the individual gold but listening to the news the other night, it said Bettina Hoy had to hand back both golds.

Ya I know, dodgy american team! But we did good in the semi finals in poll voulting..

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by Garndell on 08-28-2004 at 10:59 PM

Yes we were upgraded to Silver in the Team standings too, with Germany dropping down to fourth.  If you want dodgy take a good look at the 4x100 meter relay changeovers by the States.

Good job on the guys & good job to Kelly Holmes for wining in both the 800 & the 1500 meters.

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by user27089 on 08-29-2004 at 07:25 PM

I don't ever really keep up with the olympics, I only enjoy the diving and combat, I watch some of the running etc. sometimes. But the most boring parts are the horses.

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by wacky on 08-29-2004 at 07:55 PM

the olympic games are officially over! that was fun :happy:

too bad Alexandre Despatie got 4th place in the 10m diving :sad: cute guy though. Congrats to the US for getting to many medals.. once again

RE: Olympics - Athens 2004 by Vazza on 08-29-2004 at 08:14 PM

The closing cermony was good. Sad :cry: its all over but hopefully I'll have finished my Uni course in time to sit down and watch the next Olympics.
Fav. bits most of it especially the equestrion, badminton (who knows, there might be hope for me yet :D) and the high jump in the womens decatholon with that swedish jumper who thought she'd cleared it then realising she hadn't spun round, droped her hands by her side and fell flat on her face on the mat
