China has been preparing for this event for the last 12 years. Theyve made it clear that they intend on dominating.
NBC has made it clear that they will blow all the coverage and show us just the boring shit.

Was anyone watching the women's gymnastics last night? Or should I say.. girl's gymnastics in China's case..
There's no freakin way in hell that those girls were anything over 15. :bs:
Everyone knows it but no one can do anything about it, their passports were already forged.

and, 1 person having half the gold's ... that doesnt show good diversity in a country, Phelps might as well be a 1 man team then

America has always been about the hero.
And regardless of what you think about Phelps, when the top 5 teams in a relay break the world record (set the day before no less), that's one heck of a race.

you mean their women's gymnastics team has been training since they were in the womb? their mothers probably weren't too enthusiastic about that.. talk about kicking and morning sickness...

Thats SO true!
Ive seen MORE footage of Phelps walking around, sitting, standing, leaning.... eating than ive seen of any one single sport thus far.
I mean, cool man, you can swim. Is there a PRO swimming league after the olympics? No? Oh. H
e is living in the prime of his life. I hope hes soaking it up but the way he was chatting and yucking it up on the poduim while the National Anthem played after the 4X800 relay, I think rather not.
Im still rootin for him tho!

According to one of the many, many stories about him, he's pulling down about 5 million a year.
Plus the inevitable "Don't swim in the yellow water: The Micheal Phelps Story" book tour (mini-series coming soon on Lifetime), I'm sure he'll be ok.

I can't wait till the 15th -18th when they have Velodrome Racing and I hope they show some on TV!

I cant wait til when I turn on one of 9 HD channels they arent showing the SAME THING ON ALL THE FUKING CHANNELS! WTF. Awsome coverage NBC.
And the boxing scoring sucks balls. Some Austraulian dude got raped because the napping judges didnt score his fight at all. Even the "neutral" TV announcers said it was terrible judging job and a discrace.
X games was way better.

Uh Oh, China's Kicking ass all around now!!
Just looking at their golds, it from almost all different people, but you'll also notice it's in all the sports that no one cares about.
Still sucks, you'd think from a country with such diversity we could find some more people to compete in the Olympics. Looks like it's lost a bit of it's luster.
