Official 2008 Olympics Thread - 1936, the Remix

[Erico]

To be honest, our team is fairly strong. They lost 1-0 to Cuba today and it was a very close game. They're just a bit unpredictable though.

Yeah, they always seem to blow it at the end. That game yesterday against Japan was heartbreaking. I was ready for a bottom of the 9th rally...instead the new reliever gives up 5 runs in a row. :|

I'm rather partial to bronze being Phools Phelpsium

Oooh... that's pretty good. Phelps Phamous Comedy Tokens AKA Phools Phelpsium is the non-scientific name.

Jesus christ...Taiwan's baseball team lost to China?!? http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/new...ters&type=lgns Taiwan should just send their little leaguers, they'd have a better chance. However, the loss did result in a great quote from a Taiwan official:

Ugh, it must be heartbreaking to be in Taiwan right now. Big screens have been set up all over Taiwan out in the public for people to watch, and since baseball is huge, big crowds have been gathering to watch.



Some people might recognize that as the big mall right next to Taipei 101. That screen in the picture isn't what they're watching btw, the screen is off camera.

[vas_a_morir]

Are they out of the running?

[thmst30]

Yea guys. Whoever thinks Phelps lost. This is definitive proof. ACTUAL 100% obvious visual proof that his fingers are bent against the wall before Cavic even touches. The world can drop this ridiculous conspiracy shit now. Everyone always gotta fuck up major sporting events with thoughts of conspiracy.

[Erico]

What makes it worse is that Taiwan's loss gave China it's first ever victory in international baseball. This sucks..playing China was supposed to be like playing the Clippers.

I think this picture actually makes it look like Phelps lost. I know he didn't, but it looks like the dude on the left has one hand way on and the dude on the right is barely touching.

OH WAIT, that's Phelps, isn't it.

Yep, that proves it.

Ummm exactly. Phelps is the one of the left, its underwater so the positions are reversed.

Phelps is the topless one.

phelps is on the left.

heh edited.

[vas_a_morir]

GAF is too fast for edit!

Yeah, I thought he wore the full body one.

That pretty much proves it.

[Erico]

Hahaha screw you. LULZ TAIWAN

ok, let me rephrase. I mean the clippers of the late '90s.

[vas_a_morir]

Phelps is so fast, if he was a gaffer, rather than edit his post to change the description of the picture, he'd edit the picture to mate the description. that's fast.

[Adam Blade]

[seattle6418]

Phelps against Bolt would make an awesome race. Tie for gold?

[ryutaro's mama]

This Speed Walking has to be the most lame sport ever.

If you accidently start running you're out and you can't dispute it.

WTF?

[jobber]

ummm anyone watching the sailboat race? they abandoned the race when it was almost over.

[Erico]

Olympic speed walking on right now. Whenever i see it, I can only think about that Malcolm in the Middle episode where Hal takes it up.

oh... oh my god. Olympic. Fucking. Speed Walking.

[Windu]

Speed Walking is so fucking funny to watch.

But damn, that must be hard to do.

Me too...
Intense stuff....

[Ripclawe]

Where is Mr.T when you need him for speed walking.

[PS2 KID]

I wonder how they determine if someone is walking or running. I'm having a hard time telling myself!

[Cruceh]

Holy wow, they walk 6-minute miles. I can't even do that running.

[seattle6418]

amazing skeet final. shoot-off

go hancock, don't choke again!

[jobber]

USA numba 1 in men's skeet shooting


skeet skeet skeet

[PS2 KID]

US earns silver in women's single scull. Congrats Michelle Guerette!

[Branduil]

Why didn't Phelps wear the full-body suit for the breastroke?

I thought it was the full-body one that really boosts your speed.

[Kinan]

One of the feet should always touch the ground.

[distantmantra]

Canada gets their first medal in about 30 mintues!

[Wes]

Awesome for Adlington. Another gold and this time in the Women's 800m freestyle. You have no idea how impressive a double gold is, especially for a British woman where they haven't won a medal in the pool for about half a century.

[jobber]

woooooooooooo

almost time for Manu to run Iran out the gym

GET IT

[Meier]

We gotta see a bigger version of this pic. Amazing capture.

[Pachael]

Canada gets their first medal in about 30 mintues!

Canada might get a gold medal soon

EDIT Maybe not, but they get silver! (Mens pairs)

[Buba Big Guns]

My heart is racing. Fuck off Australia!

EDIT: Silver! Im happy I guess. First official medal! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[distantmantra]

Canada just got a silver medal in two man rowing.

Silver or Gold in women's wrestling pretty soon.

[Karakand]

So were people whining about Phelps' win tonight? I'm not going through hundreds of posts tonight.

[jobber]

Canada has a fucking medal



this can't be life

[Karakand]

Canada has a fucking medal this can't be life

Just keeps going from bad to worse.

WE SHOULD HAVE BOYCOTTED THIS OLYMPICS (so we could avoid losing)

[PS2 KID]

Canada just got a silver medal in two man rowing. Silver or Gold in women's wrestling pretty soon.

US men finished last. :( Congrats to Canada for their Silver.

[Cruceh]

Canada has a fucking medal this can't be life

awww, no more Can'tada jokes. :(

[Buba Big Guns]

Good race by Australia too.

Anyway, Canada wrestling for gold now. This Japanese girl look tough as hell.

[jobber]

Argentina is looking like shit meanwhile Iran can't miss from 3 @_@

[distantmantra]

Hyunh is cleaning up! The gold medal is pretty much a lock at this point.

[Buba Big Guns]

OMG

CANT BREATH 30 SECONDS!

[OpinionatedCyborg]

[distantmantra]

Good job, Canada. You got your gold and a silver, too. Congrats! Now it's back to rooting for American Olympic Domination!
