Yep, I can already imagine us making fools of ourselves. I remember the dancing at the event where they announced the 2010 bid winner. It was pathetic.
I think it may have something to do with Somizi being considered one of the country's top choreographers.
I'm watching at work. I sit right across form the huge TV in the sports department.
they just showed a really hot chick

one of the dudes who was in the relay team got bust for doping, so he did the honourable thing instead of waiting for them to come and grab the medal from his black a** he handed it over

I think for SA its the inability to put personality aside and do what needs to be done, thoroughly, for the greater good...Asian nations are all about that cooperation
HAHA, I loved how Taiwan was listed as Chinese Taipei...LOOOOOOL "respect my authoritae!!! Go china.
....and why the f*** was team America dressed like English ponces? Not to say team SA looked any better...way worse actually...wow.
-
I watched the re-run. Sh!t was very creative. Nyce.
The prettiest athlete was a chick from Greece. They didnt show enough of brazil or even south africa (different reasons).
lol, suddenly everyone must be grateful that the chinese in SA are BEE status. We need help for 2010!

Hockey guys got hammered 10-0 by Australia
And thats after losing 5-0 to the Netherlands
My friend's sister staying in Chaoyang a few km from team SA village. she tells us the morale is low among supporters here many of them feel that they wasted cash coming here... but in the spirit of proudly sa they gonna stay and rally behind our men and women ....
but China is alive with the olympic spirit, if this is anything to go by... 2010 will be even BIGGER and BETTER.
Whoa! whoa! Am I missing something here, but is the olympic spirit not about participation and medals is secondary..maybe I am living in a fools paradise ;D

I think that word should be used When the state funds are embezzled like the arms deal.

Its the bollocks mayne! Those Chinese have got the art of fireworks or 'crickets' down to a T. I wonder if our 2010 opening ceremony will be any good. This 08 Olympics has set a higher than usual standard!
Some of the fireworks seen in television coverage of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics games in Beijing were created digitally, according to a report in The Beijing Times.
Twenty-nine fiery footsteps traced in the air above Bird's Nest National Stadium were created using real fireworks. But The Telegraph in the U.K. reports that because event organizers feared they would be unable to capture the pyrotechnics live on camera, a digital effects team spent almost a year preparing a computerized version of the 55-second footstep sequence, which was inserted into the live video feed.
-
nah its too much hate from the German newspaper
-
Damn! Damn! Damn!
Tate where you at?The biggest race of the Beijing Olympics, the sprint to determine the fastest man in the world.Big gunz all in the final.
Asafa powell Vs Tyson Gay
From the qualifying round up until the semi finals 100meters Men, hes always number 1,The way he was running,it was like theres nothing to it,like he was jogging,while the rest behind him includin Tyson were so serious tryin to catch him,its like he hasnt realesed his full speed yet ;D ;D ;D My money is on him
(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u237/trixz2003/35318_W600XH400.jpg)
TYSON GAY

-
Did you see Bolt?
Dude looked like he was taking a casual jog for the last 20 metres or so, and still managed to clock the fastest qualifying time. He looked even more relaxed that Powell. we were all laughing in the office, when we saw him stroll away from the pack.
Tyson Homosexual didn't qualify for the finals.
-
Yeah.. Bolt looks very casual. Must be discouraging sprinting your hardest and seeing the dude ahead of you jogging.
-

Looked like he even had time to take out a sandwich and chow it before they could catch up.
If I was running behind him, I would throw my spikes at him and just quit.
How cool is it that his surname is Bolt?
-
Must be discouraging sprinting your hardest and seeing the dude ahead of you jogging.
Ha HA HA HA HA HA! YEAH! SHIT MUST BE FRUSTRATING FOR THE OTHER DUDES RACING.
No! Pyro.Tyson did qualify for the final.

This motherf***er managed to run a 9.69, while celebrating for the last 15 metres or so.
He must be on horse steroids. I'm sure he could have run at least .04 seconds faster if he ran flat out to the end.
