The Olympics

[Shaggy]

I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't those the combined weights from the "clean & jerk" and the "snatch" events?

One of the greatest commentary Colemanballs of all time...

"And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning and it was quite amazing"

Down in Oz its on TV at a reasonable hour but I just cannot be arsed watching to see who has the best chemist.

And Danny Boyle was right about people who watch gymnastics

[The Erectile Banana]

Friday.

Cheers.



I'm never sure what events are on at what time as no matter what time I turn on the television there seems to be a live event on.

I haven't seen much so far. Did see some canoeing yesterday, which I enjoyed.

Hoping to watch some more of the boxing as it's probably Ireland's best chance of a medal, and the athletics is always exciting.

So far i've enjoyed watching the weightlifting and funnily enough the gymnastics. I suppose its the freakishness of both sports that amazes me. The weightlifters who look like normal people except many have large bodies and squat legs but lift the most amazing weights, the gymnasts are human monkeys full stop, the stuff they do with the high bar and the rings is awesome.

With regards to the other stuff the swimming's been OK, is there anybody else that wished that Phelps doesn't get the 9 golds , Boxing has been good, some of the water based stuff has been watchable too. looking forwarded to the Athletics starting though.

The men's team final was quite exciting this morning.
