I'm not big on the Olympics but...

Anyone see the bicycle crash? Looks nasty, but last I heard, she is doing well.

She went down hard and was out for a long time, hope she's ok.

I have better things to do than watch that crap. Like plucking nose hairs or poking needles in my eyes.

 

[Aaron]

Only interesting thing about any sport is the blooper reel. I'm sure there will be a few more before the games are done.

 

[greybeard]

I'm waiting to see how many athletes get executed when they return home, for not winning.
N. Korea I'm sure already has a firing squad lined up.........

Really I agree haven't watched the first event and don't plan on watching any unless the remote gets stuck or lost.

She only fractured her spine.

They took over that with the fall of East German and the USSR. At least it's a break from all the political BS.

Come on guys, the US got their first gold this year in that riveting sport women's 100 meter air rifle. Can't wait until Olympic golf starts, just like it was played in Ancient Greece. (I do enjoy some events and will and do watch)

They need a big sign at that air rifle range.
Don't Get Your Eye Put Out Kid!

:lol: I believe the official air rifle for the U.S. Is the Red Ryder BB gun.

Happen to have one sitting on the back porch Mrs stings the fox squirrels in her bird feeders. Don't have the heart to tell she could throw the gun farther than it shoots.

That had to hurt in more than one way. I feel for her. All that training and devotion voided by that one mishap. In another time I had a chance to join an Olympic team. Two small mistakes in the tryouts resulted in my getting eliminated by 1/100th of a second. To say I was crushed would be an understatement.

I am a fan of womens volleyball.

I good friend of mine made the 1980 Olympic wrestling team, thank you Jimmy Carter.

Golf is the US summer equivalent of curling. Exactly when did pushing a shop broom become an athletic event?

 

[TexasBred]

I did see the Russian girl that had failed 2 dope test yet still allowed to compete won her heat in one swimming event and a boxer from Morocco(95% muslim) was arrested for sexual assault. Imagine that. :shock: :shock:

I remember when he did that. That was awful. I bet your friend didn't send Carter a Christmas present did he? Gov'ts should put politics aside for the Olympics.

 

[cow pollinater]

What I can't figure out is why we get these great stories about how much athletes have overcome to get there. It seems to me that if you have the drive to run marathons without shoes you have the drive to put yourself in the position to have shoes whether that involves hard work where you're at or moving somewhere else.
I'm not at all knocking what they've accomplished but cart before the horse and shyt like that.

 

[Jogeephus]

Has anyone heard about the Olympic Committee considering adding jousting to the event. I think I'd like seeing that and if they do I hope they sell beer.
