12.42 - we are two hours ahead of Beijing


Now - sorry USA - but we do seriously plan on spoiling the Phelps party in the relay

my mother nearly fell off her chair when I just starting singing the german national anthem in german (I learnt it in high school)

not an issue on our tv - we are not censored as much!

wonder how Jenny's doing. :lol: Going good - he gave his all ... he is our champion!!! (he has been sick in bed for two days - so not a bad effort!) What is the deal with a 41 yo swimming :o :o :o I am tired at the thought of it .... We did good in the pool! two more swims and I can get back to my ...

Today is the BIG day in swimming - the 1500m!!!

and I think we might worry the USA in the relay (atl least Phelps has told our media he is worried about us!)

CONGRATS TO REBECCA SONI :D :D :D :D Wow! Hell of a race! Love hearing the USA chant over world-wide TV! Did you see the Aussie at the end? She was sucking wind! A virus has hit some of the aussie swimmers - she had asthma. Could see the officials giving her a puffer. yup--some of our teams has had...

Jenny, I haven't heard that story, but I have my own theories about Phelps. I think he would be considered a freak of nature if he wasn't such a phenomenal swimmer. Double jointed knees (is that even humanly possible?), hyper flexioned ankles, loooooong torso and relatively short legs, big ears and...

[unlurk I have a question - I was listening to the news (not aust news - was on my paytv) half asleep this morning and they were saying at an early age he was diagnosed with some disease - that is present in people where their arm span is longer than their height and also people with big feet? Anywa...

I watch most of the Olympic coverage regardless of what the sport is. If the USA is involved, I'm watching. Can we win all events---of course not, do we always look good in a sport---heavens no. But I feel like that is the way to support our teams. Do I understand all the sports I watch, nope, but ...

(((Jenny)))) Thank you for that. As it has been noted many times on BN, sometimes humor doesn't come across in the written word. I guess there is a rivalry in your country with our swimmers---I don't know much about the politics in swimming, but I'm glad to see the US and the Aussies do well. Didn'...

An Apology Hi It has been bought to my attention that my "aussie humour" has been found to be offensive in this thread and one other. I wish to apologise if this has offended anyone. I will take some of the blame I guess - the other is down to cultural differences. It was all done tongue ...

So you have to wonder how the marathon athletes etc are gonna fair medically ...

we got a young broadcaster that was medvac'd to Hong Kong from Beijing in a coma - fighting for his life - just from heat etc ..... think they said he was 28.

Can the Chinese little girls put any more clips in their hair??? and PURPLE eye shadow??? :-? and does anyone really believe they are 16 years old or older? nooooooooooooo, I do not...........they look like grade school.....ugh, poor little things. One only needs to compare the Chinese synchronized...

ok am watching the mens synchronised diving (cause they still wear speedos )

There is all these waxed bodies ..... and then this german guy - nicely waxed chest then really hairy arms and legs .. Looks pretty odd!!!
