The 2008 Olympics

rzr · 08-6-2008, 02:20 AM

It's that time of the decade again, the 2008 Summer Olympics are coming! As an athlete, I am very excited about them coming. Who else here is? We have people from all around the world here on FFR, how do you think your team will do? Have you been following things?

Sadly, this year I don't predict America to boom. I would, of course, love if my country did, but I don't anticipate a landslide victory all around. I think our swim team will do nicely, though.

Anyway, how's everyone else feeling about this exciting event? Feelings on the placement of the Olympics? I don't think China is the best place for things, but only right now. Perhaps postponing it being held in Beijing?

Yes, because smog helps the ability of an athlete.

I'm interested to see how Michael Phelps does. My econ professor said that he's on track to becoming the person with the most Olympic gold medals or something to that effect.

I only care about the Winter Olympics, because of hockey. =D

**championanwar** · 08-6-2008, 07:32 AM

2012 will be better :P

rzr · 08-6-2008, 07:53 AM

2012 will be a retarded year of speculation and conspiracy theories, lol.

womens gymnastics ftw

**Nyokou** · 08-6-2008, 04:20 PM

Svetlana Khorkina was my favorite in 2004.

jugglinguy · 08-6-2008, 04:24 PM

Yeah, I find summer olympics to be boring as well. Then again, I've never liked to watch sports.

esupin · 08-6-2008, 05:22 PM

Well, it looks like one US athlete got his visa revoked.

tuv · 08-6-2008, 05:34 PM

I don't think canada will do that well. Anyway we are hosting the 2010 olimpics

**jayjayboy** · 08-6-2008, 05:36 PM

I Cant Wait To See Tyson Gay Vs Usain Bolt At 100 Meter & 200 Meters Sprint !

esupin · 08-6-2008, 06:00 PM

Gay didn't make the 200m. He pulled something in qualifying, I think. And you should add Powell to that list.

Summer Olympics are okay... I'll watch the street ball tournament....oh, I mean the USA b-ball team maybe... And softball... Beyond that, if it's on, I'll pretend i care.

**Go_Oilers_Go** · 08-6-2008, 06:35 PM

I personally could care less.

P.S. Hot and smoggy weather is gonna suck for the athletes.

tuv · 08-6-2008, 06:47 PM

I think the Olympics is waste of time and money

**Im Vince** · 08-6-2008, 07:07 PM

canada is not great at summer olympics, but watch for them in 2 years at Vancouver, where we will be better (winter games)

**Nyokou** · 08-6-2008, 07:50 PM

I'm planning on being in Vancouver by Fall of 2010. That's going to be exciting. x)

ledwix · 08-6-2008, 07:55 PM

Usain Bolt is an insane bolting athlete who can run really fast. I used to live in Jamaica so I must know what I'm talking about. Same with Asafa Powell.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about the US basketball team and mildly excited about Phelps. I don't really think he'll beat Spitz's gold medal record; I think that has been hyped too much.

Also, just maybe ESPN will stop talking about Brett Favre 25/7 for once and talk about the Olympics.

**Netjet!** · 08-6-2008, 07:58 PM

Chinese government sucks. they're going to bomb the athletes in the middle of the 200m.

My two cents.
