I love how it's a forgone conclusion that we'll be in the Finals.
Bad sign.

Better click this link folks, it's the only time you're going to see this:giga said:
That's a cool flag you guys got there.sportzhead said:Lets go Barbados. Let's try to add another Olympic medal to our amazingly past medal count of one. Yeah you read that right, Bados has only won one medal (and it was a bronze) in 40 years of Olympic competition.
Granted we only send like 3 or 4 athletes per Olympics.
And I don't want to hear any comments about Rihanna. Yes, she is from Barbados, so are a bunch of other people.
Now if Rihanna and her amazing legs were running track trying to get us a gold then we could talk.
BARBADOS - CHINA 2008 - GOLD MEDAL - BELIEVE

woodchuck said:damn. Group B is stacked.
USA, Spain, Greece, Dirk/Kamen
I think the championship will be USA/Spain with Gasol playing like shit in another championship.
Player of the tournament (since they can't give it to an American because they'd have all contributed equally): Jose Calderon.
Deron Williams is on the team. They'll be in the finals.ryutaro's mama said:I love how it's a forgone conclusion that we'll be in the Finals.

Veiled insults are not welcome at my table, sir.Witchfinder General said:From some, perhaps, but it seems for many the Olympics - much like alcohol - removes people's inhibitions and their true nature emerges.
Maybe an opportunistic mod will change the subtitle as things go on. You never know how things are gonna go down.gutshot said:Nice, was wondering when an official Olympics thread would pop up. Was working on one myself, but your OP is much better than mine was, Kara. Although I did like my title...

... he quit. He quit because of something he obviously has no knowledge about: politics.

They'll be doing daily shows starting Monday.
They did a TV show in Australia during the other Olympics, but the stupid TV station here didn't pick them up again.
Here's a sample from 2000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zjCc_VyxM4

HONG KONG (AP)Two dozen horses due to arrive in Hong Kong by plane Wednesday for the Olympic equestrian competition have been delayed by a severe tropical storm.
Equestrian event spokesman Mark Pinkstone said he didnt expect the bad weather to affect the Olympic competition, which starts Saturday, as wet conditions are common at equestrian contests.
Organizers said in a statement that 14 of the 24 show jumping horses never left Amsterdam, where all horses must be shipped for a nine-day pre-competition quarantine, and the remaining 10 were on a flight that stopped in Dubai.
The horses stranded in Amsterdam are from China, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The horses in Dubai are from Australia and Saudi Arabia.
Theyll come in as soon as the weather clears, Pinkstone said, adding a final batch of horses were scheduled to arrive Thursday.

You could always make an unofficial thread. It would be very "fuck the man" and we all know how ladies love the rebel (especially if he is a dreamy heartthrob).hirokazu said:Original Post sucks.
The Chinese is rubbish, the Chinese characters are randomly serif and sans serif, half the post is pimpage for a song about West Germany, and there's shitty unnecessary shoutout for Team USA.
Fuck this shitty official thread.
