I wish they will put in more variety of archery, like how shooting is done.

And they can remove all varieties of swimming and let them swim anyway they want. Of course this is not going to happen unless China dominate swimming. Obstacle race sounds fun though.

What the fuck
 
What's he saying?

Did not catch the part with them comparing him to Phelps but he basically said he cant be considered the best because past track stars like Carl Lewis took part in more events like the long jump and so on. I get what he is saying but I sort of think he tried to hard to make less of Bolt.
 
The Olympics might be over but we still have Boris and his crazy antics to amuse us and hopefully we can have custody of Ian Thorpe from Australia
 
gah commercials, i feel like this is going to be awful. what are william and the queen doing that is so important they can't make it to the closing ceremony?
 
Rio holding their opening and closing ceremonies in a football stadium, and the athletics stadium is only 45,000 seater.

I'm already disappointed.

Yeah, but it worked fine for the Panamerican games.

I guess putting an athletic track on Maracana would be too much of a blasphemy.

I've always thought of the athletics stadium as the 'jewel in the crown' of the Olympics. Seems weird to hold the ceremonies somewhere else, and then have an athletics stadium that is so small.
 
Alright, may as well do one of these fuckers...

•Highlight of the Games
Seeing my hometown alight with happiness, not only from hosting a great Olympics, but actually winning a handful of medals too. It's like we were Australian for a fortnight or something.

•Low point of the Games
The cycling DQ. That one cut deep.

•Athlete(s) of the Games
Bolt. He almost single-handedly brought athletics back from the dead.

•Biggest Villain of the Games
The unnamed official who allowed a child to manage the fencing timer.

•Funniest Moment of the Games
Bolt & Mo trading poses

•Sport you've most enjoyed watching
Cycling. Obviously.

•GAF Moment of the Games
GAF becoming one with SK's archery squad.
 
This is the second time iv'e heard an offical news outlet mention America's medal count with a different number, first it was 110 now 106, Americans still winning medals even with the games done
 
I've actually been somewhat inspired by these Olympics.

I want to get into shape (actually bulk up rather than the usual slim down), and take up a competitive sport.

Watching the Olympics at 21 makes me feel age conscious sometimes though :[
