:d
:yippee:Our beach volleyball guys are in the semifinals
You are right. I saw the other ones. Now I take back my happiness for them, but not for you.I think you may have seen our other duo (who lost in the round of 16) because these guys both have short hair:
JM :kiss:
Australia doing so poorly is a surprise. Australia is considered a very sporty country and the Sydney Olympics were so great.
One of my favoritest movies.I already saw the movie "How to train your dragon" (know that one? I LOVE IT)
Chinese have never seen water you think?China getting a gold even in sailing is disturbing I'd say. Leng jai can now call me a racist.
I was watching this too :lol: It was HILARIOUS :lol:Our recent bronze medalist, is a sailer (laser radial) and a great, great girl: quite smart and with the greatest smile (the BBC journalist actually did praise her for having such a great smile). During the last Olympics in Beijing, she was a bit isolated because her sport is already an very solitary one and the sailing takes place outside the Olympic village as well + Beijing is too far away for most of her fans. So, this time in England, her supporters came in huge numbers and they were loud and very cheerful. So much so that the BBC tv crew went up to them to interview a couple of them after winning the bronze. They went to 3 guys with their face painted in the Belgian colors and each with a letter of her first name on their torso (E V I). A reaction from one of the guys: "FUCKING AMAZING....FUCKING AMAZING"
After which the BBC reporter turned to the camera to apologise twice for the language ("I'm sure he didn't mean it that way but the excitement...") and back in the studio, they apologised two more times. :lol:
I do not like to look at it like we are doing 'poorly'. There have been some disappointments but I think the biggest disappointment is the way our media have made a big deal about us doing so 'poorly' and making the athletes feel like they are letting the country down even when they put in great efforts but 'only' get silver or bronzeAustralia doing so poorly is a surprise. Australia is considered a very sporty country and the Sydney Olympics were so great.
Yeah. Terrible penalty, terrible resultThe Americans also beat the Canadians in a controversial soccer game yesterday.
No. That would be the gymnasticsThe high jump always has the hottest men
Once again :ras:Star hates america and maria hates the chinese. I'll hate the brits.
seems like the Latvian boys like the BMXand maybe also Maris Strombergs in BMX. He got the gold medal in Beijing but BMX races are so unpredictable... So I hope but don't expect it
It's not that hot here either, though. 20°C. But it's dry at the moment and the weather will improve as the weeks progresses so it's all good at the moment.MariaV said:We have rain & cold all this week
I remember you mentioned them a while ago, last year maybe? :scratch: I even saw them compete once. I had totally forgotten about them now thoughJonathan Borlée was 5th with a slightly injured hamstring and both Borlée brothers had a bad lane so the result was fine. Bit disappointing for them, I think, but it'll motivate them.
I adore these twins. They have such a great, great mentality.
I don't follow it too closely but it seems they've regressed a bit, maybe psychological problems or something. They haven't had good results in a while and I'd be surprised if they get medals this time. You can check out this page, maybe put it in Google translate, it has info about them and their recent achievements.Evita, how are your javelin guys? You used to have some good ones.
It’s fun when athletes from little countries win gold — or just a medal. I think it’s fun for everyone.Star
Yes, participating already is good. Especially for the athletes from smaller countries.
Oh, most definitely. I don't know if they can do it though, the Brazilians they're playing against today are apparently seeded first. Oh well, even a bronze medal would be great.It would be great for them to win the gold medal. They’d be heroes.
Very hurtful. :awww:Melanie didn't quote me at all today
