What are your thoughts? I believe the organization, shows and arenas were majestic...but the judging in some sports was heavily biased towards China, especially in gymnastics and fighting.

Australia wins via Population comparison. (edit = okay not true, but these tiny countries hardly count. http://www.symworld.com/medals/index.php?sort=total)

I heard an interesting statistic today.

Apparently there are more registered ping pong players in china than the population of Australia.

This.

 I'm glad we don't have to hear about the summer Olympics again until 2012.

I watched a lot of it and thought it was really exciting. That said, I'm probably in the minority since this site is full of video game nerds that worship Jeff Gerstmann more than Michael Phelps.

You know the judging is done by the International Olympic Committee, so they're not biased towards the home country.

Greece had one of the most complex ancient societies around!
It was a very good games this time round, I found London's Invitational piece at the closing ceremony a little embarrassing actually.

Yeah....and who have owned in the running events. I think the ancient record of the Marathon was 1:30? Or something like that.

Anyway, I bet you know where the word 'Marathon" comes from....

I really enjoyed the Beijing Olympics, but for some strange reason, I'm not happy that the USA basketball team won the Gold medal.

It's not really funny. It's sad and mean to talk about down-syndrome... but he does have a point. It's his teeth. They are really ****ed and it makes kinda have that,... *ahem* "I AM SLOW" smile. (He needs his teeth fixed)

Quite an interesting Olympics, in the field of different topics. The underage Chinese gymnastics (sorry, not confirmed underage), the surprising favoring of Chinese athletes in scoring (I know the judging is comprised of people from different countries), Micheal Phelps being insane (and that controversial one race talking about how he might have lost, then the new pictures owning all of the idiots), taunting from different athletes, then the genius ones that get themselves banned from future Olympic events.

But yeah, it is over, and the U.S. Open is tomorrow, what I truly cared about.
