2008 Beijing Olympics thread

[Epschtein]

i grew up in the same neighborhood as tim daggett in west springfield, my sister was in the same class as him in high school. was always really cool rooting for him back in the day.

that said - he IS the real life ed grimley! lol he looks just like him.

and on another note, there were some very jackable misty may ass shots tonight in the beach volleyball coverage. good work NBC!

[STC-Dub]

But choose wisely you only get one item because you cannot exercise within 30 minutes of eating so once you eat something you are done.

[HBox]

I love how the role of the analysts in this gymnastics coverage seems to be telling you why what you're seeing is fucked up.

I'd love to hear the Chinese broadcast.

"YES! SHE FELL! BONUS POINTS!"

"That was a flawless routine. The judges won't look on that very kindly. And neither should they."

"This girl is old enough to be here. That will definitely affect her start value."

Nastia won the all around and just whupped it the other night.
tonight... what can ya do.
the chinese are using 14 yr olds ... and must rack up enough gold to keep these athletes from being executed. so i guess it's justified.
ha.

wow. i feel like Snoogans right now. :)

[Snoogans]

they seemed pretty much the same to me. They both fucked up the same amount. Whatever. This isnt even close to the worst shit

[Epschtein]

yeah, who here can accurately score olympic gymnastics? :P nobody.

i was rooting for her of course but i just felt the other girl looked better, complete amateur couch potato opinion.

she was pissed hehe. at least she has her all-around gold, that was awesome.

re: the age of china's gymnasts.

i wonder what the fallout will be after the games. i havent seen the evidence but apparently there is a story in the recent past (chinese press maybe) that says one of the girls that has won medals for china was 13 last year or something?

all the controversy sucks but its nothing new. olympics are still great for the most part.

[HBox]

Part of me thinks her Dad looks less pissed because deep down he still wants to have better medals than his daughter.

Media in China has listed a couple of the team members ages as 13 and 14 in the last year or so.

But what can be done? Is the IOC or any other body going to go to China and say your documentation is bullshit? Where could they possibly get solid evidence? The government is obviously behind it. They control the paperwork. The only thing they can do is call China liars. And that won't get anywhere.

BTW, we can all take pride in the fact that we in this thread probably got ronfez.net included in the great firewall of China.

That tiebreaker made absolutely no sense.

well, she tied him.
and knowing how dads are with their daughters, i am pretty sure he is cursing the ridiculous judging and tie-breaking that occurred at these games.
almost every event has been tainted with favor going to the Chinese.
it's upsetting...

i am just happy Nastia and Shawn went 1-2 on the All Around. That is the BIG SHOW here.

Nothing that convoluted can be comprehended until it hits you in the face. I don't know why they had to have a tiebreaker in gymnastics in the first place when people share golds in all sorts of events.

but how can you complain about a yet un-tested scoring system before the games?
you can't.

and now it is showing it's flaws. Big time. so the commentator "whining" is actually another gymnast who sees the flaws in the new scoring system. flaws even those of us with minimal gymnastics experience can see.

shush.

yeah that makes phelps close win even more crazy, they dont go to the thousandths place in swimming i dont think, they would have given two golds if they had rounded to the same hundredth place. and then people would have bickered about whether or not it was really the same hehe.

i could be wrong but i know you can tie for silver/bronze at the hundredth place, just assuming they do the same for gold.

[HBox]

Holy shit that coach was the biggest douche I have ever seen.

*edit* ^what he said

WOW what a cunt that coach was! hope she doesnt let that ruin her amazing silver medal performance but she looked bummed out walking away.

They explained it fairly easily tonight. you throw out the high and the low (as always), if it is still tied, you throw out the lowest score remaining. Seems easy to comprehend to me. Yes there shouldn't be any tie breaker, give two gold medals, but you have to understand the rules before you play the game

[hunnerbun]

Wow, exciting sprint for the last 200 meters of the men's triathlon. Looked for a few seconds that Canada might get another gold but it was not to be. Silver will have to do.

And here I thought I was the only one who thought that about him. He always struck me as creepy.

Anyway, I was saying to my wife that they should use the Bela method for determining age.

1 finger = 14 yrs. old or under
2 fingers = 16 yrs. old
3 fingers = 18 yrs. old
4 fingers = 20 yrs. old and older


Interpret that any way you like. ;)

USA Baseball advanced to the semis with Cuba, Japan, and Korea.

It's very unlikely they would beat out Cuba or Japan for the Gold or Silver, because those are pro teams. Still, it's only one game, so it's a possibility.

They might be able to edge Korea for the bronze, though.

An interesting useless sidenote: Iced tea made its debut at the 1904 Exposition. It seems that it was so hot during the Expo that the staff at the Far East Tea House couldn't even give away their product.

What to do? What to do?

Very simple - they poured the hot tea over ice cubes! The drink quickly became the Expo's most popular beverage.

And yet another useless fact: A teenager named Arnold Fornachou was selling ice cream at his exposition booth. He ran into a big problem - he ran out of the paper dishes on which to serve the ice cream. In a stroke of genius, he noticed that the guy in the next booth, a Syrian named Ernest Hamwi, was selling waffles. Arnold rolled one of Ernie's wafer-thin waffles up and invented the ice cream cone. Within ten years more than one-third of all ice cream was served in a cone.

Doubt it. Noone cares about softball. Even in the US it's the retarded brother of baseball. And when you consider that baseball is the retarded little sister of cricket, you have problems.





Ok, the analogies went nowhere but that the point stands - softball isn't going to be an olympic sport. Not while there are more deserving sports that have yet to get their chance, like ... Karate ("http://dwightkaratemaster.ytmnd.com/" )

[K.C.]

if they keep it because of this I am going to be so fucking mad.

The IOC is one of the most fickle, politically motivated bodies in sports, despite the whole 'we're not political' mantra of the Olympics.

Softball is out, because it's perceived as being American, and if they have to eliminate a sport to make room for the new stuff, they might as well take a dig at the Americans.



Japan winning Softball could get a couple countries that would be against it because the Americans always win, to switch sides.

It's a sport that was growing fairly quickly, though.

I'd say it's probably 50/50 it gets revoted for 2012.


If it doesn't make it to 2012, though, it's not coming back in 2016...by then, all the momentum for it will be gone

It won't happen. No penalties will be issued. Everyone involved have been already trying to minimize the issue by saying the rule is outdated and was only put into place anyway to protect the girl from hurting themselves in competition... Which they say is pointless now because these girls are training through their early teens anyway.

[Misteriosa]

wow that is interesting. I wonder what this will mean for the team gold. do they get stripped of that as well?

nope... the olympic officals are accepting their govt passports as the offical proof. :annoyed:

Yea, with some jobber. Why do these hot athetes marry crappy players?

Like Misty May is married to Matt Treanor. The jobber Fla catcher.

Btw, Joba is adorable.

[brettmojo]

They've been bending over and sucking the soy sauce right off the boots of the Chinese during this entire freaking Olympics. They gave the gold medal to the one Chinese gymnast even though she scored the exactly the same as one of our American chicks... They won't do anything to upset them.

Exactly. The tiebreaker was applied correctly.

It's a stupid system, and I believe the judges should be allowed to award two gold medals, but the result was what it should have been given the system.
