Yes, we have seven medals! Finally, we're going places. A bit upset that our women's softball team lost to the US team 5-4 after having the lead for a good portion of the game.
Good news is, we took a 1st place US women's soccer team and took them to overtime 2-1. Not bad for a Canadian women's soccer squad who have made a first appearance at these Olympics.

Well it couldn't be on artistic merit like gymnastics... too subjective with all kinds of scoring problems...
...fastest? Never work!
...biggest collection... hmmm? possible, but then the nation with the most money would always win...
...I've got it! Whoever can hold the most pieces from their collection in two hands will win!!!

easy.....events like "pose your figure like this" where the collectors would have their figure in-hand and a picture would flash on the screen and they had to pose it like the picture....score would be based on time, accuracy, and presentation.
also the "unpackaging" event where they have a SS box in front of them and the first one to open, upack, setup and pack the box away wins.
"collector fishing" would be 2 sided....the collectors would have an item to sell on ebay and whoever gets the highest price within a certain amount of time wins...score based on highest price, product description and positive review from the buyer.
The other side to fishing would be to find "X product" for the cheapest on ebay.

what about who can cancel their orders the fastest or chase the FedEx truck because he didn't knock on your door and it was signature required.

you guys are hillarious.
funny you should mention fed ex not knocking. the other day i just got home from work and was entering my house when i looked behind me and saw the fed ex man pull up. so i waited for him behind the screen door. i waited for him to make his way up the walk. but he must have decided that was too far to walk cuz he just threw my package infront of my garage door and left without ringing my door bell. i was like "WTF??" if i hadnt seen him arrive i would never have known a package was there.

Seriously, if "sports" like that are in the Olympics then they need to add SKateboarding, BMX, etc. into the Olympics.

I would have no problem with that. Snowboarding is an olympic event, and skateboarding has been around longer. And it takes a lot of physical effort and skill to do some of the BMX freestyle moves that some of the elitists pull off.
