Pyro_Monty Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Man the past two days have been great for Britain -- an incredible gold in the track cycling followed this morning by an equally stunning gold in the Coxless Fours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabellum Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'd be happy if NBC would show more of the olympic sports, like Judo, wrestling, and watnot, instead of this volleyboll and basketball rubbish. I don't even understand why basketball and volleyball are in the olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 And in more common news, Phelps wins another gold medal for team US of A. yeah but he aint gunna get his 7, our thorpey put a stop to that!! Over here we have 2 channels showing the Olympics, pretty much 24-7. Break for some news and soapy shows, but otherwise its go go go. Esspecially the womans beach volleyball.

Pyro_Monty Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 We have one channel (BBC1) that is effectively dedicated to the Games, complete with interactive coverage so you can pick the event you want to watch (out of five or six choices at a time). It's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Slink Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 We got bronze in the mens 2000m doubles coxless rowing. Pyro: What's that really called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro_Monty Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 You mean if they have two blades each (and are sculling)? Then that's just a double. If they have one blade (sweeping) then it's a pair. That what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Slink Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Pairs. We got bronze in the pairs. Saw the finish of the coxless fours: WOW! it was close.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even understand why basketball and volleyball are in the olympics. Basketball is by far more interesting than shotput, the disk thing, javelin, etc etc. MO of course. yeah but he aint gunna get his 7 He only wanted one... he smashed his goal. As if six werent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruin Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Hmmn... Carly Patterson, America's new sweetheart is still knocking the competition dead. More impressive was Ms. Pavlova's well deserved Bronze medal in the Women's Vault, very nice. She should have gotten all-round Silver, but what I have to say about that... well... I wont. Justin Gatlin, the world's fastest man. A big one for team USA. Also good to see Mo Greene got knocked down a peg. What else... Oh, Deena Kastor takes the Bronze in Women's Marathon, moving from 18th to 3rd, very nice. Allyson Felix takes the gold in Women's 200m. Current Medals: ******G**S***B***Total USA - 25 26 19 70 CHN - 23 15 12 50 RUS - 8 17 19 44 AUS - 14 9 14 37 JPN - 15 8 9 32 Edited August 24, 2004 by Ruin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schenkanator Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 ###### kinda ranking is that? Based on total medals? Why? Shouldn't it be based on tot # gold, then tot # silv, then tot # bronze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STU_Snake Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 or a point system, casue a team coud have 60 bronze and nothing else, then the second place team could have 59 gold, seems like the second place team had to work harder.....

Crimson Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I dont know why... but suddenly I'm a fan of beach volley ball. I feel sorry for that Pappas guy doing the decathalon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnumkp Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 GB win men's 4x100m, Kelly Holmes picks up a second gold for the 1500m (first gold for 800m) at the age of 34. A good night for british sport. And tomorrow we still have another gold medal chance in the lightweight boxing. As a commentator pointed out, the Australians have a 1 gold medal for every 1 million people in their country. That would mean the Brits would have to pick up about 57 golds.

Gordo_Viper Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 So Aussies up for another couple of medals then...20 Million- 20 Gold Medals... It's alright lads we hardly ever win anything at Winter Olmpics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
