Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread My God, Team USA (women's gymnastics) has been a tragedy. They only seem to do *okay* if the games are held in the U.S.

Plus, Shawn and Nastia are #1 and #2 overall at the moment.

Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread As much as I hate the Olympics and stuff, this is just shameful. We`re a great country, we should be winning medals. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs. Am used to them and boxers can get me in trouble it seems.

Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread That 1 billion viewers claim for the basketball game is undoubtedly BS, considering the total viewing audience in China is only (lol) about 625m, but at least 393m people in China watched the opening ceremony: http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/08/nbcs-olympic-ra.html

Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread So what's the age limit for the gymnastics again? I could swear those girls are no more than 14.
