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.
So the Olympics are Over...
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.
"My thoughts are this: Thank God it's finally over...now I can hopefully stop hearing about them."i agree
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.

"Too big a deal, sporting event started several thousand years ago played by naked guys who worshipped the sun."Greece had one of the most complex ancient societies around!
"Australia wins via Population comparison. (edit = okay not true, but these tiny countries hardly count. http://www.symworld.com/medals/index.php?sort=total)The Aussies are only using population comparisons because they are pissed off that us Brits beat them. hehehehehe

"Too big a deal, sporting event started several thousand years ago played by naked guys who worshipped the sun."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....
"any1 else think that that michael dude looks like Mclovin with Down-Syndome?"Dude, that's really not cool.
But yes, I noticed that too.
"I enjoyed them, can't wait for South Africa 2010 and London 2012. :)"Winter Olympics in South Africa?
They're in Vancouver I think.
"I watched a lot of it and thought it was really exciting.

I am gone try to get my kids to train for the olympics...I guess we will see if I am successful in oh...about 2036. The closing ceremony is on...so I guess it is not completely over.

They are really ****ed and it makes kinda have that,... *ahem* "I AM SLOW" smile. (He needs his teeth fixed)"any1 else think that that michael dude looks like Mclovin with Down-Syndome?"Dude, that's really not cool.

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.
