No, can't wager on the Olympic's, as there is too much adrenaline going on, suprise victories, etc.. I even gave up on wagering on the UFC after you cleaned me Lex.. If I had to wager on these Olympic's I would place the action on Men's US basketball, and Michael Phelps and also the Chinese gymnists... Those are almost sure wins...
Xrtt8 - fear not lad, I mispelled Olympic twice in my very first post.. Your second post is safe...
Phelps 10 Gold medals in Olympic games...Greatest Olympic athlete ever they are saying... Mark Spitz's reign is now officially over....
I felt bad for this Hungarian Weight Lifter as he blew out is elbow competing... Too bad as that looks like that break has really gotta hurt.......It's not always roses at these games.. Talk about the thrill of victory and AGONY of defeat in these games, this guy is defeated and in Agony for sure.......
Lex, yes Mark Spitz is whining and feels he's gotten no respect... My take on it - If he wanted to go to the Olympics he should have gone, who needs an invite.. I'm sure he would have been well recieved... Cry baby....
Oh, and yes Phelps is not the best athelete ever, not even close... That's a hard standard to measure, so whom would be the best athelete? Greatest decatholete ever maybe, Best Gymnist ever, fastest man, etc.. Hard to judge that one...
On Phelps, to me the freestyle is the proving event and Phelps didn't even complete, why I ask... Is Phelps a weak freestyler? Would that big Frenchman Bernard spank him?
To me Barnard maybe the best swimmer just because of the events he is winning... The freestroke sprints....
Phelps is the best at butterfly and backstroker ever but he is not the best breast stroker, and or freestyle swimmer I don't think...Hmmmm?
Current metal standings -
USA - 46 (14 gold)
China - 41 (26 gold)
Australia 20 (5 gold)
Russia 19 (3 gold)
S. Korea 18 (6 gold)
France 18 (3 gold)
China is dominating the gold metals....

Phelps just got his 11th Olympic gold metal... He keeps breaking world records too, is this guy even human? It looks like men against boys out their... Unreal... Did you know Michael Phelps volunteered to do the super olympic drug testing program... He is 100% legit for sure, no roids or enhancers either...

Xr8tt, we almost have over coverage here in the States... We got like 8-10 hours of coverage on channel 4 (NBC) and now on the USA network channel we have additional coverage at night.... I'm overdosing on the Olympics and starting to see double... My Tivo is working overtime and starting to smoke out the back.....
So I've watched pretty much all the events, and to be honest I never new China had so many great athletes in so many different events....
Swimming, the mens events overall gotta go to the US, womens events going mostly to China and Australia... Infact, Australia just broke the world record and won the GOLD in the women freestyle 200m medely (4 teammate event) .... Didn't see that coming...Impressive are the Aussie women in the pool of late......
Field hockey just started... Didn't even know that was a sport...Hmmm? I know Lacross but field hockey, hmmmm? No comment..
Also fencing and baseball is now cranking up too... Not my favorites..

Yeah Xr8tt, not alot of Olympic fans on an auto forum, I thank you for participating and showing some interest... I must say I really am into these Olympics and it shows on this thread.... I just love to see the best of the best compete... I can't wait for track and field to start... Kinda like racing our cars to see who's got the fastest I guess...
I have a feeling as these olympic games come towards the end it will start to draw more interest.. My hopes.... I will continue to post the metal standings as long as no one minds seeing this thread pop up daily....
I really appreciate China's effort to make these games be appreciated to the world... It's very obvious they put alot into these games and their athelets too..

I watched a local news last night where they interview Mark Spitz and he sounded upset. He also stated that China didnt invite him to the olympic. There were also an interview with NBC anchorman. He stated Phelps is the best athlete ever. WRONG.... He is the best swimmer ever.. not the best athlete....

Itll be easy for commentators to get carried away (isnt this what they are paid for anyway?) and start calling him the "best athlete ever".
As one commentator here said, there was an Olympian (cant remember the details) who won gold in 4 completely different events.
Ie, not just swimming, or just track, etc.
They ranked him as being the best as he was so versatile.
As for heart braking kinda stuff, they showed a weight lifter that couldnt grip the bar... every time he tried to lift, his hand came off.
He tried ~7 times before giving up in tears... thats gotta be tough to deal with.

I do love to watch Olympics. It's just that I'm so busy with work and preparing the engine for crazy boost. Actually, I'd like to watch some diving, martial arts, shooting, and running...etc. The channel 4 keeps showing swimming matches and it's kinda boring to me. Anyway, I used to swim for 1 kilometer without resting before, and still had energy left.

Did anyone see the womens 75kg weightlifting? What's going on this year, Chinese are dominating the weights, this Cao Lei is only 23 years old and bigger than most pro footballers.....
Yeah plenty of Chinese women have necks bigger than their head :bs2:
2nd place, a naturally strong lady from Kazhakstan (sp) struggled with her final lift. Cao threw it up in the air like it was made of plastic.
Didn't miss one lift in the whole comp. In fact, China has dominated every weightlifting class, a clean sweep.... Suss?

If there is one athletic blood in every million, then China have 1,313 to choose from.
Nemises - I would double check for a penis on that weight lifting China woman... That looks like a dude to me... Can you imagine trying to make love to that? "I must break you"....
Ok, I am getting a little silly here, my bad....
Lex, my job is to update, but if I take the time to update then I gotta be given the green light to offer up my opinion. It's a give and a take on this forum...
Cheers people.... Anyone wanna race for pinks?
PS. I watched the track and field today and man those guys can really fly... I have to say the black people have a genetic advantage over the white people, it's so evident in the speed races.. That's been a debate for many years, and I must boldly say all men are not created equal.... Does anyone agree with that statement?

It's a scientifically proven fact about the muscular differences between - not to be racist but it's easiest to say - black and white men.
The same reasons they excel in track sports (genetically stronger, larger achilles tendons, list goes on) is the same reason you never see them in the swimming (untill the relay this year!)

I read black people have the ability to have slightly less body fat % over whites too.... It's not a racist thing it's fact and conversation..... Saying blacks have more phsical ability in my mind is not a racist comment, I feel it's an actual complement..
Now, the question is did the blacks evolve over time to achieve this phisical status because of their intense slavery labor and active African lifestyles of the past, where as the whites didn't?... Or is just a basic genetic difference at birth and evolution has nothing to do with it? Darwin where are you when we need a question answered?
Back to the Olympics - Phelps squeeks out another gold in the butterfly sprint... Now that was a close race... He got lucky on that victory..
How about the Swedish wrestler whom thru a tantrum and threw his bronse metal on the ground and walked away...:grumble: Check him for steroids as he just couldn't keep his cool... Whaaa, I want my Gold metal, and I don't want this crappy bronse, whhhaaa...:baby: A little Olympic respect please......:spankme:
Current Medal standing -
USA - 54 (16 gold)
China - 46 (27 gold)
Aussie - 25 (7 gold)
France 22 (3 gold)
