Re: Olympics
Re: Chinese Gymnasts - of course those girls are underage. For God's sake, they don't even look CLOSE to 16. But it's really not surprising. This is a government that heavily censors and restricts peoples' basic freedoms, that even murders its own people without so much as a word... you'd expect them to have integrity in a gymnastics competition?.. They can build all the fanciest stadiums and put on the most opulent ceremonies that they want, but nothing will ever change the fact that, when it's all said and done, the country is still run by a bunch of thugs.
Re: Phelps - that guy is UNREAL. Best swimmers on the planet in the lanes next to him, and it's not even close... It's mind-boggling to think that the best olympic atheletes in the entire history of the human race have ended up with 9 gold medals...and he'll probably finish up his career with like 20!
Re: Alicia Sacramone - I felt so sorry for her. I can only imagine how devastating that was for her... She choked out there, yes, but I hope that everyone recognizes the humanity in her and no one holds it against her.
Re: Shawn Johnson - This young woman is wise beyond her years. I couldn't be more proud of the way she represents her country, not because of the great things she does in competition but because of her humility and grace, even when things don't work out. She competed fiercly, but then even as the US team came up short, she was supporting her teammates, smiling and telling the media how proud she was of them, congratulating the other team... And you know it's not an act with her.
kid showed more heart out there - at 16 - than many "adults" ever do in their lives.
