The Official XXIX Summer Olympics Thread

[TrueOrange]

I loved the basketball game....not sure if it was the domination by the red white & blue or a team of the best pros coached by such a great coach

 

[GAVol]

That 4x100 was just incredible.

 

[myrobbins7]

That was the best race I have seen from the start..Wow!

 

[doozer]

why do they insist on showing people celebrate in slow motion?

great race.

 

[sickemsmokey10]

what a finish! i was jumping up and yelling the whole time!

 

[GAVol]

. . . and crushing the dreams of the French just never gets old.

 

[Midfielder10]

Screw you France. Who got smashed?

 

[TrueOrange]

nice gold on the 4x100. kinda sucks on the event before where the US girl led the entire way only to fall to 2nd at the very last 1/10 second...woulda been her 1st gold, but silver's good too

 

[Gcrop]

I was actually cheering outloud. Awesome finish to the 4x100 and even better the French were talking trash and blew it.

 

[sickemsmokey10]

whoever gets the first picture posted of the French with their hands in their face gets massive cool points from me

 

[rwemyss]

What an ending... I thought for sure we were stuck with silver until the last 25m... our guy (forget his name) started reeling in the frog, and I stated yelling. Couldn't believe my eyes. Incredible!!!

 

[GAVol]

Isn't it funny how something like swimming is right up there with trick shot billiards for 4 years, but then the Olympics roll around and it will make you come off the couch?

Man I wish I could have that 2nd one as my avatar.

 

[rwemyss]

I spent the last 30 mins trying to find that video of Phelps initial reaction... looking up at the board and pausing before blowing up. :lol:

 

[doozer]

i liked how the one dude jumped up in front of Phelps to make sure his mug got on TV.

Have you seen what they won them in?

One is judo, two in air pistol (BB guns, seriously?), two in weightlifting, and one in synchronized diving. :wacko:

I don't expect to match the chinese in golds (see: host nation) but I think we'll have them in the overall count.

True....i really just want the us to dominate in the end, show them who the real superpower is

 

[tvolsfan]

As long as we win basketball, and have good showings in swimming (and I obviously don't mean synchronized) and track, I'm happy.

 

[FO.CO. VOL FAN]

That was the best race I have ever seen. Man that was intense!

Congrats to former Vol Magnuson on winning silver in her event!

 

[jcolli30]

I'm still hyped after that 4X100. It felt even better beating the overzealous Frenchies!!!!

USA!!!!
