The Official 2008 Beijing Olympics Thread

[corianderstem]

Yeah, you're just fatter.

Oh, NSW, you're so cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuel.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I will admit that was a heart-breaking fall by Sacramone.

But it's not over.

 

[anitram]

All the Chinese have to do is just be okay and they're walking away with the gold.

 

[No spoken words]

Oh, NSW, you're so cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuel.

You crossed the line.

Who pushed who over?

Oh, hey, another fall. Damn, feel bad for her now.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Major choke

 

[Pearl]

Looks like China might be the gold medalists. Poor Alicia

 

[No spoken words]

Major choke

Yikes, that seems like a harsh way to put it.










True, though.

 

[trevster2k]

That's not how anyone wants to see this playout. Well, except for GAF and it being the Chinese doing it.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

ouch. a fall on the butt and a step out of bounds. not lookin' good.

but it ain't over till it's over.

 

[coolian2]

Oh, he's around.

Excellent.

 

[No spoken words]

I hear a rotund woman singing.

 

[Pearl]

but it ain't over till it's over.

Very true

 

[speedracer]

Alicia Sacramone can mount my beam anytime she wants.

 

[anitram]

Wow, total collapse here.

 

[No spoken words]

Alicia Sacramone can mount my beam anytime she wants.

She'd fall right off.

 

[coolian2]

Looks like China might be the gold medalists. Poor Alicia

I hope she isn't taking to too hard.


Alicia, are you?

 

[sulawesigirl4]

what is with the going out of bounds thing? s'rsly. is the mat smaller in china?

 

[speedracer]

She'd fall right off.

boom tish

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I want to reach through the screen and give Ali Sacs a big hug.

Tears fill my eyes. Beer fills my stomach. My heart breaks.

 

[coolian2]

I hear a rotund woman singing.

Maybe when we get to track and field, I don't see any rotund women at the gym.

 

[No spoken words]

what is with the going out of bounds thing? s'rsly. is the mat smaller in china?

I'm guessing they were drugged.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

They were saying yesterday that the floor was harder than people are used to. I have no idea what that means though.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ohp and Nasty Nas fucks up, too.

Dammit. At least we stil have Shawn.

 

[No spoken words]

Tears fill my eyes.

Beer fills my stomach.

My heart breaks.

Just a few syllables from being Haiku.

 

[Pearl]

I'm guessing they were drugged.

You're obsessed. Its my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned those Peter Pan drugs

 

[corianderstem]

I hope she isn't taking to too hard.

Alicia, are you?

*sigh* I'll be okay. *sniff*

I don't know what I was thinking - I should have checked the Canadian channel CBC - they have gymnastics on now! I wonder how much longer it'll be before NBC has them. They just started some sort of volleyball.

I don't want to just come in halfway through things on CBC.

 

[coolian2]

what is with the going out of bounds thing? s'rsly. is the mat smaller in china?

They didn't convert the measurements.

 

[Pearl]

Shawn?!! Making a mistake?!! No....

 

[anitram]

If the Chinese can stay off their ass, they might be allowed to eat a chicken wing and an M&M when this is all said and done with.

 

[corianderstem]

They were saying yesterday that the floor was harder than people are used to. I have no idea what that means though.

My understanding is that the area where they do floor routine is basically a springboard underneath the mat, so it's springier for them to do all their shenanigans. Must not be as springy in China.
