Medal Tally

Yeah I watched it aswell, it was alright however i find the Road Racing very hard to get into, same with Track, Mountain biking is pretty easy to watch - But thats most likely just me being a non racing cycling enthusiast.

I like to watch the road racing, esp. the TDF. The track events just make me Dizzy :|

 

[Simon]

track cycling is crap, love the road stuff, i admire the atheletes, it must be such a tough sport....

 

[Mister Wright]

I don't mind the track cycling when they have like 6 to a team and they are racing in opposite directions. That is pretty fun to watch.

To the uninitiated, racing in opposite directions? Wouldnt they have a head-on??

 

[thewizard1o1]

Or that one where there was two per team and it was sorta like a relay and they got points every few laps, not that bad either...

 

[Simon]

is anyone else watching the badminton on SBS, how awesome is it, i havent played since college, but i want to get back into it one day.... denmark are doing quite well....

 

[thewizard1o1]

This would have to be one of the only mixed sex sports in the olympics...anyways back to Roy and HG

 

[Simon]

was a good match, the danes deserved to win, i hope those 2 go on and win gold now....

 

[thewizard1o1]

Go Thorpie, go you good thing!

6 golds and counting people

 

[Blewy]

Thorpey was never in doubt...
Vanden hoogenband went out quick and Thorp stuck with him, Hoogy was never going to have the stamina.. As for Phelps 1 from 3, going real well....

 

[thewizard1o1]

Phelps was on US$1 Million if he could equal the Spitz record....thats gooone now.

[thewizard1o1]

[thewizard1o1]
