Who's following the olympics, and what events are you mostly into?

[Vader AL]

Actually medal count in the Winter Olympics we came in second, and should place 1st in Vancouver.

btw Didn't Australia have the most medals at the last Summer Olympics or am I incorrect? I can't remember as far back as 2004.

But yes, that US sure does well.

Sorry, they had by far the most medals by capita compared to the US, not overall. Oopsies.

Look, I can't remember 2004. It was all a blur.

Women's gymnastics isn't doing to well it seems.

 

[Eli26]

Apparently I was wrong about the dang 2006 Winter Olympics as well.

Canada was third in overall medal count with 24 medals, USA was second with 25, and Germany was third with 29. Get this though, we have 30 million people to the US' 300,000,000. We owned you guys per capita. Even in the Summer Olympics in 04 we did well per capita.. why the hell did I think Norway was all the way up there? They did well for a country with what? 5+ million? 19 medals... yikes. Mostly for skiing.

Damn muddled memory.

yeah Canada is pretty bad. somebody should go along the US/Canada border with a pick-axe and chop it off.

You're basically Canadian...

Last night, the main gymnist from China screwed up bad on that vault/horse thing where he rested his legs on it during a hold. Ruined his chances to compete in the individual medal for that event (whatever its called... sawhorse thingy). Good.

Why all the hate for China? Sure they make up for 1/3rd of the world's polution, but you Americans make for another third.

Oh, I don't know, they're communists, and they crap on human civil rights on a regular basis... and if they wanted to they could overcome us with sheer numbers alone. Oh, I forgot, they own a good majority of the US debt. They're certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Edit: just going off memory, population stands at:

1st = China = 1.3 billion
2nd = India = just broke 1 billion I think
3rd = ? (but I didn't think it was US, I thought something like 400 million)


Edit 2: But don't worry my Canadian brother. When the Eastern dragon wakens, I expect my Canadian and Mexican neighbors to join the US and down that beast.

Awesome race between France and USA in that relay. I'm glad USA took it in the end. I was hoping Phelps would go teabag the Frenchman in the pool that did all the talking.

 

[Wetanut]

I'm still pumped from that relay. 5 teams broke the world record. Unbelievable!!! Phelps did his part as the other but, really, the HERO of the day is Jason Lezak and I wish the press would give him more of his due.

Never!!! *says the craw as he pours some maple syrup on his ham and cracks open a labatts and watches a hockey game.*

lol

You're nutty.

Guess we'll have to shore up the numbers. Hello ladies!

 

[Mesa]

How about that cool ass green world record line during the swimming events?

 

[BuffyGirl]

You know, I'm not...and I'm actually quite mad at myself for that. I really should be watching. I should get myself in gear.
