2008 Beijing Summer Olympics Thread

August 8-24

I'm looking forward to this year's Olympics just because
of the fact that I get to see basketball again. The only
other sports I watch are swimming, track and field, and
gymnastics (yes, it's pretty fun watching lol).

[SimpleS14]

I only watch soccer and basketball...for some reason I'm still surprised its being held in Beijing.

[ThatGuy]

I wish the Olympics were popular like they were when I was a kid.

It's all everyone talked about. Now it seems as unexceptional as a Space Shuttle launch. Something else that has gone unnoticed for a few years now. :(

With that being said. I will be watching as many events as I deem interesting this year, which should be quite a few of them. :D

[SimpleSexy180]

athletes better be careful of what they eat.

the last olympics i was was going to change the channel because swimming was comming up, i decided to watch it and that shit is intense.

[O3DigitalBath]

ah, don't remind me of this shit..

work was going to send me out there all expenses paid to work it for a month+ but decided they didn't need the additional help.

[ESmorz]

4am Ping Pong.

Nothing beats that.

Nothing.

[muddafakka]

Yeah I agree with you 100%.

[sirhc]

I can't wait for the Olympics. It'll be intresting.

[Baka Sama]

I like the swimminga and women gymnastics :naughtyd: .

Kinda mad its in Bejing though.. I dunno whos bright idea that was.

This is one of the competetors in the 10th All China Games that took place Aug. 2006. Just a preview of what will take place in the 2008 Olympics.

I'm looking forward to this right hurrr

[ESmorz]

^psht.

This, plus a few beers and sleep deprivation is pure gold.

[slider2828]

Man table tennis is awesome, sheesh, I can't even see the ball and I am prety good at CS... Come on now...

Womens diving is interested but I still the think the US will get owned.... Men's diving will probably get owned tis year too... Gymnastics is a maybe.... Going to get pwned in soccer too.... Track and field going to get owned... Go Lightning BOLT!!! Lol

[spoolandslide]

i have to watch all of it

i would liked to have seen this live

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LIVRBC5afUU&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LIVRBC5afUU&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

[revat619]

i will definitely be watching the track and field stuff. I train with a few guys that are going to the trials and i hope to be in the trials for 2012 myself. For the record, the American Olympic trials is harder than the actual Olympic games. The sprints are gonna be INTENSE. Also the relays between us and Jamaica. I cant wait!!! Definitely be on the look out for some record breaking times!

My predictions

Mens 100m - Tyson Gay - USA

Womens 100m - Veronica Campbell - JAM

Mens 200m - Tyson Gay - USA

Womens 200m - Alison Felix - USA

Mens 400m - Jeremy Wariner - USA He'll walk away with it.

Womens 400m - I dunno

Mens 4x100m Relay - USA Our third leg got smacked in the face by an opposing team during a hand off and we still got 4th.

Womens 4x100m Relay - JAM

Mens 4x400m Relay - USA

Womens 4x400m Relay - Its a toss up IMO.

[spoolandslide]

Mens 100m - Tyson Gay - USA



he should really change his name before he starts breaking records in the name of america

[BlckBeautyVTEC]

Fuck swimming don't wanna watch that shit and thats the main shit they show, so not gunna be watching the olympics except maybe basketball and soccer (if they show) but really people should be boycotting it.

[kdashy]

I can finally watch this in HD.

YEAHHHH.

[revat619]

Fuck swimming don't wanna watch that shit and thats the main shit they show, so not gunna be watching the olympics except maybe basketball and soccer (if they show) but really people should be boycotting it.

While i understand the reasons why, the fact is they have boycotted in the past and it didnt do shit.

[Xandy Boosts]

Olympics..especially summer olympics ALWAYS remind me of Homer doing the same dance as the boxer on TV when he won food from Krusty Burrger :D

and Winter always reminds me of Cool Runnings

don't ask me why, I don't even know myself

[kouki_s14]

While i understand the reasons why, the fact is they have boycotted in the past and it didnt do shit.

In the end the boycotts only affect the athletes, which is sad because these people trained and probably did nothing else for the prior 4 years.

The Olympics are meant to be free of politics.

[revat619]

Right on the money.

My sprint coach went through 3 consecutive olyimpic trial years and the year he was going to actually go they boycotted. And he said the exact same thing. "All it did was fuck it up for us. It didnt change a damn thing" were his words. He was still on Team USA so they just competed in europe like the usually did during the year, but not going to the Olympics was still a bummer.

[slider2828]

I think also the reason why Olympics are big in the US is because there isn't enough television coverage. Secondly, there are a lot of fat people in the US that just aren't interested in Sports....

[murda-c]

I just get angry when i see people do things i could never do in my life.

[just1pepsi]

I saw a commercial for the Olympics, and they said they will be shown on 7? different channels, some in HD (where available) and it looked like they might actualy have extended coverage so you can actually watch the events that interest you, not the prime-time stuff.

I would have chosen one more big guy (Amare Stoudemire), to help play in the middle. I think having only Howard and Boozer could be a problem. Never know who can get hurt.

[BustedS13]

i remember collecting olympics pins a couple years when i was a kid. nobody gives a shit about the olympics anymore, it seems.. weird.

oh, and fuck china.

Amare withdrew because he's worried about his knees. I think this is a bad team for international play. Need more pure outside shooter in order to compete against the zone defense. I see Athens happening all over again, I think Micheal Redd has lost his touch and everybody else are penetration players. Not having a respected pure shooter to stretch out the defense will make it harder for them to score on the inside...

[Xandy Boosts]

Out of the zone at the moment, but besides rayray and redd, who are the other american pure shooters?

some reason, I can only think of international shooters but no american ones....

[slider2828]

Yah international play is all about 3 pters. Nothing is about inside game cause international rules are not american rules...

[TiNMAN]

you guys know theres gonna be bmx-ing right? :ugh:

[qwikspool]

i just want to see the basketball game
thats all

[slider2828]

NO WAY BMXing like bicycle stunts or is that exhibition like stupid trampeleening (SP?), which I hope will never become a real olympic sport.

[MikeisNissan]

they should have taken out BMX and replace it with MMA.

[BOROSUN]

with CP on point and prince as sf usa got this!

i would choose over prince over any bigman.

this is a good team.

[ZX88]

i feel bad for the runners. i went to china last summer in early august and the heat and humidity was umbareable you would literalyy walk out side for 10 15min and be drenched in sweat also the air quality thier is not very good. one cool thing though the staiums are really cool looking.

[revat619]

whats really bad for the runners is the pollution. The people in charge of all the stuff going on over there released a statement saying that the pollution would not affect the runners for up to an hour.

I found that hilarious considering i train as a sprinter, and you WARM UP for at least a good hour before the race even starts.

[just1pepsi]

Thats the price you pay to be an olympian.. Chinese Black Lung.

[woodchuck]

whats really bad for the runners is the pollution....

true that. i think the chinese government is made a law not to drive cars until the olympics is over. government cars can be on the road every other day or some weird rule like that.

[ALTRNTV]

The Olympics are 2 weeks away.

[enkei2k]

it's finally here~! olympics baby! took them like 3 hours just to get thru all the countries. let's get this party started.

only thing ill be keeping an eye on is basketball.

allison stokke

LOL at NBC announcers on right now. I thought they where going to be politically netural and all that PC shit with their announcing, but they're poking fun of Hugo chavez and shit like that. lol.

[Rick-95ZE]

I have ALWAYS been obsessed with the Olympics:hyper:. The opening ceremony was awsome (watching on a 61'' HDTV:rawk:)...

[Flipzide]

I loved the opening ceremony. Lots of creative stuff; especially the lighting of the torch and the calligraphy thing.

[kdashy]

Opening ceremony looked great in HD.

I probably won't be watching much of the actual events though.

[karl wasabi]

It will be very interesting to see BMX in the Olympics. haha.

I was amazed with the opening ceremony with all those people under those blocks, making waves and other really crazy patterns. I thought it was all done by computer or robots. I laughed my ass off when all those asian people popped out from under there. It kinda reminded me of diglet (the freakin Pokemon) lmao.

hahaha i was crackin up too! When they popped out and started waving at everyone i was like "WTF?!?! HAHAHAHAHA"


And as far as the whole medal race is concerned, im not trying to hate, but when a country accounts for a FIFTH of the WORLDS population and you have a team thats bigger than ours, you damn well better win the most medals. I dont get why they're making such a big deal about it. China sent litteraly hundreds more athletes this year than the 04 games. Why would them winning the medal race be such a potentially huge upset?

[HyperTek]

thats a trip i didnt know some countries have like 1 athlete and the US has like 647 .. crazieee

Because hosting the Olympic games means your country automatically qualifies for every event.

Being in an event doesn't necessarily mean a good chance a gold.

Olympics 2008: US coach's relative murdered in Beijing (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/aug/09/olympics2008.china2)


:confused:

[Avante]

i dont like china.

they wont even let Taiwan use "taiwan" or even "republic of china"

only "chinese (taipei)"

...assholes.

[VIPDRFT]

This is why we shouldn't have had the Olympics in China

A Chinese man attacked two American tourists yesterday, killing one of them, before committing suicide. The attack took place on the second level of the Drum Tower. The attacker jumped from the tower afterwards, killing himself.
The Americans were family members of a coach for the United States Olympic Men’s Indoor Volleyball Team.

[yudalicious]

neither do most of the countries in the world. not many, if any, countries officially recognize taiwan as a separate country.

what an ignorant statement...so one person does something violent and crazy, the rest of the country has to pay for it? eric robert rudolph and the 96 olympics comes to mind...

[upstate240sx]

that opening ceremony was awesome.

[VIPDRFT]

what an ignorant statement...so one person does something violent and crazy, the rest of the country has to pay for it? eric robert rudolph and the 96 olympics comes to mind...

Ignorant?! I am military intelligence and I do and will know more about China than you will ever know. The Chinese had been flapping there gums about how it was gonna be safe and look what happens. This kind of attack sends a message to Americans to stay out of China and China's affairs. Oh, and not to mention that the people attacked and were the In-Laws of an American coach. Hell, for all we know he could've been hired by the Chinese government. The difference between the 96 Olympics and these Olympics is that Atlanta, Georgia isn't a communist country.

[kdashy]

Ignorant?! I am military intelligence and I do and will know more about China than you will ever know.

So because you supposedly know more than us, you know better than us?

The Chinese had been flapping there gums about how it was gonna be safe and look what happens.

It's unrealistic to assume China can stop an isolated incident like this.

This kind of attack sends a message to Americans to stay out of China and China's affairs. Oh, and not to mention that the people attacked and were the In-Laws of an American coach. Hell, for all we know he could've been hired by the Chinese government.

They weren't wearing anything that specifically identified themselves as Americans, also their Chinese tour guide was stabbed as well.

The difference between the 96 Olympics and these Olympics is that Atlanta, Georgia isn't a communist country.

Georgia (the one you're talking about) isn't a country, its a state.

[Matej]

Anyone notice how people from all over the world applauded North Korea? It was kind of shocking because only a few countries were mass applauded, here North Korea is perceived as the deathstar. The opening ceremony was definitely fun to watch.
China isn't that bad, certainly not as terrible as many stereotype it to be, every country has nice places and bad places.

Sigh of disappointment...

One crazy guy kills some people then offs himself and you automatically think its some sort of government conspiracy to send a message to America. Get real dude. You should know better than that. Cold War ended a while ago. Just because China governs their people differently than us doesnt make them automatically wrong.

[Rick-95ZE]

Damn, Michael Phelps is a BAMF in the water!! One Gold medal and a World Record for tonight :rawk:

[all show no go]

Sigh.. i was hoping to only read up on all the Olympic games and athletes in here, but ahhh tragedy strikes.. it's really sad and unfortunate that the attack on those tourists happened.

Maybe we should keep this thread as the Official Thread for the Olympics..
and maybe make another thread on just about the attack/conspiracy theories

ya know? (keep this one clean) :-/

[smellslikecurry]

im just happy bangladesh finally sent more than one person haha


were not going to win anything but its nice to seem out there

I watched women's volleyball this afternoon, and the Cuban team had me madly in lust, those girls were fucking gorgeous, I need one of them to defect to the US.

First, thought I'd point out to you that Atlanta, Georgia isn't a country, I'm pretty sure this is true, as I'm typing this message from Atlanta, Georgia, unless military intelligence knows something that I don't. Second, I'm sure having lived in China for 10 years doesn't qualify me to know anything about the country... what do I know, since I'm just a brainwashed communist pawn that hates Americans like the rest of my brethren. Third, ask yourself what the Chinese government could possibly gain from planning the stabbing of the in-laws of an American coach in a sport where China doesn't even stand a realistic chance to medal in. Your post is ignorant because it makes an outlandish assumption and judgment based on outdated prejudices and beliefs.

Back on topic: I am excited about the men's basketball game tomorrow morning (EST). I'd like for China to do well, but will settle for not getting embarrassed, Chinese backcourt players and guards are atrocious, can't dribble the ball against chairs.

[BOROSUN]

the crazy bomber from the 96 olympics was pretty bad.


anyways, its going to be total destruction for china tomorrow...go usa.

[VIPDRFT]

I know Atlanta, Georgia isn't a country. That is why I said it wasn't. Atlanta, Georgia isn't a communist country.

And like true liberal Americans you are all assuming that China's not that bad b/c as children you were taught that people are generally good and the you have to respect and tolerate other peoples cultures. I bet you all thought Iraq and Afghanistan were happy go lucky places and the kids played w/ gumdrop smiles until they started suicide bombing the shit out of everything and kidnapping and decapitating people. Well I have a newsflash for you all. There are people in this world who want to kill you for no other reason than being an American and they will trick you into a false sense of security so they can do exactly that.

Just because you live in a place doesn't mean you know the inner workings of its government. They gain a public message to not f*** w/ China and they gain demoralized American athletes who fear for their lives and might not perform at the top of their game. And if we had a little more of that "outdated prejudice" nowadays we wouldn't have had a plane hijacked and crashed into two buildings, a subway blown up, a number of people kidnapped and decapitated, or the number of other terrorist attacks that have been committed over recent years.

[Matej]

Stop sticking your nose in everyone's arguments and no one will want to kill you for "no reason."
I'm not going to live in a bomb shelter all my life.

Please talk about the Olympics now.

[VIPDRFT]

Done......

[yokotas13]

Ignorant?! I am military intelligence

just lost all of the trust from me

military intelligence is a complete oxymoron.
hell the air force doesnt even haev common sense and we are the smartest branch by test scores

[VIPDRFT]

just lost all of the trust from me

military intelligence is a complete oxymoron.
hell the air force doesnt even haev common sense and we are the smartest branch by test scores

Forget you, you freaking traitor! I said I was done, so how's about you learn how to spell and post something about the Olympics!

[yokotas13]

shouldnt have been spitting your job
noone cares what you are lol.

[VIPDRFT]

Oh really? Oh no! Whatever will I do? Excuse me for being proud of serving my country in its time of need. I care about my job and that's all that matters. I don't come to your job and knock the dildo you're sticking in some dude's ass out of your hand.

[yokotas13]

im not at your job
you're on zilvia

so shut the fuck up about your job.

[VIPDRFT]

You're not at my house either.
You're on Zilvia.

So make me shut the fuck up about my job.

[yokotas13]

on a side note
China got the gold in womens judo, just saw it happens



oh yeah, you are SUCH a hardass!!
you should check with your military intelligence and see whats up with russia

[VIPDRFT]

No shit! Don't get me started on Russia. Thanks to all the liberal pussies the next Olympics will probably be there.

[yokotas13]

:sigh:

anyways japan is kicking cuba's ass in judo

[VIPDRFT]

Thanks for getting back on topic. I probably should have started my own thread for this thing. My bad.

[yudalicious]

I know Atlanta, Georgia isn't a country. That is why I said it wasn't.
haha I know you now it isnt a country, I was just taking a shot.

Don't bring liberal vs conservatives into this. I agree with you that those people exist, I just don't believe they are everywhere as you seem to believe. Also, to compare China and the Middle East is completely off. The Chinese people in general seem to like America and its culture. Have you seen their reaction to the US team in the opening ceremony? I'm watching the USA vs China men's basketball game right now, and there's just as many ooh and ahs for the American team as their is for the Chinese team, doesn't seem like a country full of people bent on hating you coz you're American... having a few crazies doesn't change this.

I agree that just living in a place doesn't mean you know everything about it. However, the same can be said for working in military intelligence. If anything, we may see different aspects of China that predisposes us to forming certain opinions. Let's just put this to rest, I don't want to clutter up an olympics thread with this.

On topic: my goodness, in the 2nd quarter the game is tied... China is living off of 3s, I wonder when they'll stop falling.

[Phlip]

Stick to the topic, I don't want to delete posts.

China is getting their asses handed to them in Basketball right now

[articdragon192]

Yeah, gymnastics is on right now. America is making mistakes that's making them look subpar to the Chinese. But luckily it's only qualifying.

Yeah, it only means they have to go before China.

But its still not a good sign of things to come.

[articdragon192]

I'm sure they'll bounce back. For acting like than and still doing pretty well, imagine if they got on their game.

[90hatchie]

i tossed it on for a few min thinking it would be boring and holy fuck those girls were young and in olympics
very impressive

[S14SwimShark105]

USA TORE FRANCE A NEW ASSHOLE in the 4x100 freestyle medley relay!! WHOOO!!!! france said they would "SMASH" the USA pshhhhhh they won't be smashing anything but their heads against the wall tonight!!!

[HyperTek]

[IdriveaNissan]

I recorded whole game china vs usa. i wouldn't mind sharing with my fellow americans but it's kinda a huge file. i recorded via computer tv tuner so it isnt exactly hd material but good enough.

[ALTRNTV]

The French are assholes. lmao
I'm glad the US shut them up
after that comment made about
them smashing the Americans.

[BOROSUN]

[shade]

So who watched when Phelps got his gold medal? I think it was on NBC in the states on Saturday night. They totally fucked up the US anthem. Started too early, was way off, I think they even replayed part of it, and then they didn't finish and cut off the "home of the brave" part. That was a low one.

China is getting their asses handed to them in Basketball right now

I watched that game. I heard a lot of boos for USA every time they were trying to score. China was really good at the beginning with their three pointers but couldn't keep up later on the game. Really good defense for the US team, a lot of blocks and steals. Let's hope they live up to their name as "The Redeem Team."

i tossed it on for a few min thinking it would be boring and holy fuck those girls were young and in olympics

Those Chinese girls don't even look 16, there's a rumor going around that the Chinese govt. did some work on their background. Then again, the majority of Asian girls look younger than they really are. They're pretty solid in their performances, really good.

[S14SwimShark105]

I don't know what the big deal is about the ages. Older girls like in the 20 year old range usually seem to do the best. If you get beat by a 14 year old then you need to go train some more. It's not like 14-16 year olds have some magical advantage over someone of older age.

Through older age you would think would come more experience and better preperation.

[drifter101]

The 14 year olds have an advantage in that they can fling themselves like ragdolls, very light, nimble, and flexible. Plus the chinese train these girls from the age of like 6 or something, so eight years of training could do alot.

[240_hero13]

[yudalicious]

That sounds ruined to me...:sadwavey:

USA put on a good show through the first two rotations while China faltered. But since rotation 3 China's only gotten 1 score below a 16 (a 15.9xx), totally outclassing the field. besides, US's prelim scores put them in realistic contention for the bronze only.

I did edit, not sure why it made a duplicate post... mod delete thanks.

[LongGrain]

none of my friends who went to trials made it. i used to swim against matt grevers though. actually i think the only guy on the olympic team i HAVENT swam in a meet with is michael phelps, and thats just because i couldnt go to the missouri grand prix.

fun stuff, i'm enjoying it a lot.

especially the 400 free relay, that kicked ass.

Those women are flexible. That could be put to
very, very, good use.

Phelps wins his 8th gold and is 8 for 8. Amazing.

[articdragon192]

He is the present day Aquaman. Holy cow. Awesome stuff. Volleyball and basketball are looking good. More gymnastics tomorrow. Olympics have turned out to be very entertaining.

[jdm538]

[ALTRNTV]

^
You mean money for winning a gold?

Criss, you met my homie Rey sometime back. He drives
the black coupe with a Sil-front, on gold meshies. Lives

Anyone watching womens volleyball?

Those polish girls love their shorts a size too small, whooooo love it!

[Bubbles]

I saw runner Tyson Gay when he didn't make it and then gave a candid interview........what a fucking modest guy.

Obviously his leg was affecting him, you could see it, but he completely sucks it up and doesn't belittle anyone or even complain.

That's an Olympian.

Yeah, he was obviously disappointed but he didn't mention his injury or anything, said he gave it his 100% and had no regrets!

I hope I stop hearing how the rest of the world is catching
up to the USA in terms of basketball talent. This "Redeem Team"
is smashing teams left and right, and they haven't really played a
full game of consistency. This team is just too athletic, and 5+ players
can take over a game at any given time.

I think the rest of the world is catching up, but only individual players, not teams. The world has the talent now, but the USA has the talent in larger numbers.

[BOROSUN]

anyone have the link where i could watch the usa vs spain bball?


those aeroboobies ftw!

[BOROSUN]

this usa team is way above & beyond any nba all star team.

and to see spain hang on there just shows how tuff they are.


i really wanted to see what this rubio hype is all about, but usa pushed pressure D on the pgs he couldn't show much.
i still cant believe this kid is only 17 and is gonna be the top draft pick next summer.

[ALTRNTV]

Fucking gymnastics is rigged. Fei Cheng (China)
fell to her knees on the vault, yet managed to get
a score of 15.62, while Alicia Sacramone only did a hop,
but got 15.53, taking her off the medal podium. I'm glad
Bela Carolyi is lashing out about it, since all the journalists
are afraid of speaking out against China. Bela said that throughout
all the Olympics he's seen, he has never seen anything like this.

:fawk2::jerkit::squintd::bs:

[articdragon192]

Seriously, it's crazy. Blah, sucks for her.

[Xandy Boosts]

all I caught today for gymnastics was the floor stuff. Was there more before that? Took a nap and forgot all about it

Starting to like Nastia more and more.

[ALTRNTV]

The vault exercise was before. Nastia... I love that name,
her too.

:love:

[Bubbles]

I hope I stop hearing how the rest of the world is catching
up to the USA in terms of basketball talent.


Are they really saying this?


Do they not have the ability to see?

[ALTRNTV]

Well, they said it because of how the USA didn't
win the gold in the past world competitions, dating back
to 2000, as they usually do.
