Canada :eek: WTF we're doing sooo bad :mad:

Anyways, about the Olympic ceremonies, it was fake. The little girl singing was lip singing and the girl actually singing was another little girl and she was supposed to be the one performing but her looks "didn't represent Beijing"... Oh ya and the firweworks that we saw on TV were digitally animated because there was lots of fog in the air so it was hard to see.

Did you guys see the weight lifter from Hungary? That was incredibly painful, I hope he is better.

Phelps while doing something admirable (winning all the gold possible) is BORING, except for the 4x100 relays, which was epic. I just hate it when there's basically no competition, it takes away the real excitement.

YES! I heard that on the news yesterday.

Here's an article: http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/be...-a-Milli-Vanilli-during-the-Op?urn=oly,100162

I feel so bad for that little girl who didn't get to sing. :(

i hate to put a downer on such a big event, but also to make way for the olympic village and some facilities/venues apparently many residents have been told they have to leave, some even without being rehoused or compensated, obviouslty this wouldnt be allowed to make main news but another extreme the chinese resorted to apparently

Lezak should get all of the four golds.

Big surprise, but Fedex was not in the best form last couple of months. Im so happy for Blake, he is one of my fav players. Finally his talent will pay off and now he has big chances to take a olympic medal.

this is so pathetic, can't belive Đoković lost, what a miss :eek: this again shows that Nadal is all strength..

Btw, Federer & Wawrinka beat Bryan brothers 7:6 6:4 and they will play final against Aspelin & Johansson who beat Llodra & Clement 7:6 4:6 19:17 after 4 hours 46 minutes...

About 4 years ago after Federer won Wimbledon my uncle said "All these swiss tennis players are the same, there's a moment when they look unstoppable, but as soon as they hit their low, they never come back."

Yay, our small tiny hope (really small) for a medal will come after Sunday!!!

Michael Phelps won the gold in the 100m butterfly(barely), tying Mark Spitz with 7 gold medals won in one Olympics. He'll try to break the record on Sunday with the 4x100 medley relay.

Update: Serbia's filed a protest against the results of the 100m butterfly after Phelps defeated Cavic by 0.01 seconds.

Updating the update: Serbia's appeal has been rejected by FINA (swimming's governing body), Phelps' win stands.

Do You know who he had in mind? Hingis? I'd say her comeback was ok ...
