 Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread It's probably a quarter of that at best. Which is still amazing.
This reminds me of when the Oscars always claim to have 1B viewers. Yeah, right.

Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread Brits go 1&3 in teh women 400m Free. Katie Hoff of US just lost the gold by .07 seconds.  She had the lead till the very end. Still though the silver is her 2nd medal in 2 races (got bronze in 400m IM relay).

Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread USA 4/100m Free relay team just won the gold and kept Phelps streak going. they had to do it coming from behind to beat teh French. lol, the trash talking French team. they said they were going to smash teh americans. and it looked like they were going to but their last swimmer tightened up at teh end and the americans came back and just beat them to the wall.  FUCKING AWSOME RACE!!!

I think so, in the post race interview the Canadian team (which came 6th) mentioned that they were proud because their number was the record before these Olympics, but obviously the teams ahead of them did even better. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

URGH, Canadians  The Americans set the world record YESTERDAY, and it was 3:12.2. Wow, 5 of the teams beat the record today. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs. Am used to them and boxers can get me in trouble it seems.
