So, the Olympics...Follow

Any of you watch much? I was on holiday so I caught bits and pieces during my afternoon siesta, albeit terrible Italian coverage.

Highlights for me were:

Kelly Holmes double over 800m and 1500m - very very impressive for a woman so plagued with bad luck over the years.

Kahn in the boxing who will kick *** at the next Olympics. A 17 year old putting up a good show against a 33 year old Cuban - unbeaten for 6 years - is impressive stuff.

And obviously the mens 4 by 100m yeeeeeehaaaaa! Take that yankee ********

Biggest disappointment was Paula Radcliffe - what a quitter.

All in all seemed like a good games. The Chinese are going to kick *** at the Beijing Olympics, you mark my words.

That protester guy is a ******* nutter. He tried the same at the Silverstone Grand Prix last year, nearly got himself killed when a car came past at 200 mph and spent 2 months in the slammer.

ps. it was a brazilian who he attacked, not that that brings any light on the matter

13 year old girls prancing about in leotard's make you feel all tingly. Go on admit it.

TiVo was much more adamant about taping the Olympics than I have been about actually watching them.

I did decide one thing: Handball is about the most retarded Olympic sport ever, and synchronized swimming the most under-rated.

Handball should be immediately replaced by dodgeball.

Pretty much the same. I don't pay much attention to the Olympics, just make a token acknowledgement. Watched some platform diving one night at a bar (fu[b][/b]cking bartender ignored me when I asked him to put on the Yankees game), listened to the softball team shut out everyone else, and the basketball team get humiliated. IIRC USA won 103 medals, 36 being gold, or something close to that. Great showing.
