however as for amount of players entered per program is concerned, its 2 teams per event, such as 2 pairs allowed for women double, 2 pairs allowed for men double, 2 people allowed for women single and 2 people allowed for men single etc

kind of like how jordyn wieber got screwed over in gymnastics all around. if these sports put a limit on number of participants, then why not athletics and swimming?

Im pretty sure swimming is capped?

I think its 2/3 swimmers per individual event

oh good to know, i was thinkin about putting a *not sure if true* behind swimming but... ya...

whats peoples take on spain losing their last group match to meet usa later? or if anyone saw the game, was this really a "thrown" game?

Winning 3 straight Olympic Golds while only dropping 1 set

Is there anyone else who has ever been so dominant?

Lol, pretty much what I think. The hype was quite easy to understand, watching that game. We did okay in the first 3 quarters but USA just ran riot in the final quarter.

exactly, i always thought the name "the dream team" was just a massive wank, but despite not knowing much about bacsketball i really cant imagine any other team being much better then team USA

We just won our 6th Gold in the K4 1000m Men's! Breaking into the top 10 for now, in front of Hungary and behind Italy.

you guys were so close to gold too, like 1 or 2 more meters and you would have beat us Wink

Dancing Horses? DANCING F*CKING HORSES?

Add that to my list of "Why the f*ck is this an Olympic Sport"

by Swanhends Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:01 pm

Dancing around while throwing a hula hoop is added to the list

bhends Current List of things that should not be Sports:

Dancing Horses
Throwing things while dancing
Ping Pong
10 meter air rifle shooting

Ive allowed badminton to stand even though I think its pretty ridiculous tbh
Im willing to take votes on synchronized swimming

by CBarca Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:05 pm

What's wrong with ping pong?

by Amar Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:27 pm

Synchnorized swimming is fine, but I do agree with the rest of your list.

I woke up looking to find some good sports on, and I saw a team dancing on the gymnastics floor throwing around a ball. The most ridiculous thing I've seen.

by Swanhends Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:43 pm

I'm torn on synchro swimming

Clearly some of those moves require some serious skillz and technique

But the way they smile at the camera like a bunch of hyenas on crack makes them look absolutely f*cking ridiculous

I think im going to have to let it stand despite my problems with it

We reached another final in Taekwondo. cheers

The last game against the brazilian athlete had me hooked up to the television, what a close fight. :bow:

Mixed emotions about that, happy for my second country to do so well, but I had a bet with my father that Denmark would be better. but already lost that Very Happy

That was a superb fight

I even got up from the couch after that great kick which tied the score.

Equestrian Dressage is a proper Olympic event because we won two Gold medals in it. :coffee:

Here's the medal table, btw:
