Boo.
How are you aside of that?

yeah much better thanks

 

[bono_212]

K I turned the olypics on


whatda we got here? Women's 400 meter swim?

 

[RavenBlue]

In my case it would be the womens 400m drown.

I can't swim.

 

[bono_212]

I have no idea who that is, but just looking at the picture, lulz at the thought of him contesting the Olympics swimming!

Actor from old times. He's very special to me as my Grandma and I used to watch his movies. The only thing you MIGHT have ever seen him in is The Music Man but I doubt you've seen that.

 

[bono_212]

I heard sometihing about Aus vs. Us

 

[coolian2]

Oh god, dressage.

I enjoy the cross-country and show-jumping equestrian events, but there is little more dull than dressage.

They all do the exact same thing and somehow end up with different scores. I don't get it.

Back to the pool now, though.

 

[Axver]

What the hell. Not sure which race is about to begin, but one of the competitors is just 14 years old!

 

[coolian2]

Btw, Introducing Stephanie Rice:

 

[Axver]

I heard sometihing about Aus vs. Us

Ooh, is this the 400m women's medley? I see there's a couple of Americans and Australia's Stephanie Rice. This should be close.

 

[bono_212]

I coudl NOT figure out how to butterfly in gym class. For my weight, I'm actually a REALLY good swimmer, but for the life of me I could not figure out the Butterfly

 

[bono_212]

Rice is lookin' to win this

 

[Axver]

Ah, right. I'm familiar with the title, but no, I haven't seen it.

me either

 

[bono_212]

AH! Looks like I jinxed her

 

[Axver]

I hope Coventry of Zimbabwe ends up with a medal.

 

[bono_212]

orrrr not

 

[bono_212]

BRONZE

 

[coolian2]

Wow, when you finish second in under world record time...you've got to feel gutted but there isn't a hell of a lot more you can do.

 

[Axver]

Wow, what a swim by Rice - and Coventry too, as they both swam under the previous world record. Given how Hoff had been talked up, I can't believe Rice so thoroughly beat her.

 

[RavenBlue]

There's a gold for Australia!

 

[bono_212]

The announcers tell me Rice is the new "glamour girl of AwStraylia"

 

[Axver]

Butterfly always had me stumped. I was pretty shit at freestyle too, though. I used to rather enjoy backstroke and breaststroke, though.

 

[coolian2]

Bad, fencing in on next.

 

[Axver]

Heh, the commentators here remarked that "the glamour girl is now the golden girl".

 

[Axver]

I love the fencing. 7 seems pretty focused on the swimming ... ads on SBS right now.

 

[bono_212]

I am told gymnastics is next

I outswam most of the guys at the backstroke :smug:

 

[Axver]

Ah, SBS is showing the Spain vs Canada water polo.

Wish I knew where my remote was and what channel was showing what

I once won a backstroke race in primary school at the annual swimming carnival. Given I am not at all athletic, it was a huge surprise to all concerned!
