2008 Olympic Games

The Olympic trials are underway in the US for the upcoming Beijing games. I'm very much looking forward to these Olympics. I love almost all of the events. Track & Field, Swimming, Weight Lifting, Basketball, all of the combat stuff. I'll even watch some gymnastics.

Anyone else been following along? Who are you looking to see compete? Any event that you think will be very exciting?

I'll provide some of the stories I like to follow later on.

 

men wering tight things

 

i love watching the track and field events espically the distance events because that is what i competed in for 8 years. i am also looking forward to watching the basketball and swimming

 

I love the Olympics. I'm looking forward to Phelps swimming mostly, I want to see if he can repeat his last Olympics.

 

he was looking solid in the trials this evening

men's 800 was the race of the night with out a doubt crap gave me chills

 

what channel are yall watching this on??? i havent seen anything on tv. I just hope our Basketball team doesnt choke this time around.

 

go give shante a flea dip....


2008 Olympics is going to be awesome! Our weightlifting crew is a good one, be ready for complete domination!

 

track and swimming have been on usa and nbc usually pretty late since the track is going on out it oregon. Bernard Lagat gives the USA mens distance team a legit shot at a medal for the first time in a really long time

 

Womens gymnastics.

'nuff said.

 

ususally made up for girls 16 and under :icon_eek:

 

Lagat said he has to trick himself when running the 5k to stay with the pace of the others so he doesn't go out too fast. He has a good shot at 1500m and 5000m. Especially considering he ran for Kenya in the last Olympics.

Swimming has been on USA at 8pm est w/ Track & Field on at 11pm est on USA this week for the trials.

Did anyone see Tyson Gay run the wind aided 9.68 100m?

 

Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff from Maryland. Will be watching swimming, and as much as I can.

 

Michael Phelps becoming even more of a legend.

 

The 100 should be great this time.

I'm looking forward to see all the great US sprinters heck up on the relay as usual and let our crap guys win:icon_cheesygrin:

Some of the gymnastics is just incredible.

 

that crap was freaking awesome fastest a human has ever ran

 

Yep, he's perfectly built for it too. A tall guy with a very long torso, and flippers for feet.

 

I love the summer olympics. I'll be most interested in baseball, basketball and the swimming events.

I'm planning on doing some vbookie bets for most of the events if any of you guys think it would go over ok.

 

i think that sounds cool

here is the video of the mens 800 final if anyone that didn't see it wants to it is a freaking awesome race
