Pols to play Jap last night n they meant to show on SBS i think, but then they air the china's game instead, so i waited n waited n they didnt even show it. I like the Pols girl with #1 on her shirt, she won like a 10 points for Pols in the first set n 9 on the second set when they play against China.

OMG Usain BOLT!!!

this guy is insane! broke the world record by 0.03 secs and did it even when he started celebrating 10m before the finish line

At just 21 he's definitely going to have no problem beating it again sometime in the future especially after that run!

Aug 17 2008, 01:39 PM
What can we say about Usain Bolt? He's fast but was a bit arrogant by slowing down with 10m to go, which meant he could have run 9.65 sec or even quicker. But Bolt would not have its own way had Tyson Gay qualified for the final.
terry_bogard_007
Aug 17 2008, 01:58 PM
yeah I reckon eh?
I thought it was stupid for him to not concentrate the whole 100m as I'm sure he would have smashed his record by probably 0.1 secs instead and would have pushed it even more beyond what anyone else has ever done.

Poor Hackett!!! Really would have loved to for to take home gold!!! Really deserved it!!! So now that means that no men at all in the swimming took home gold.

Aug 17 2008, 05:17 PM
^ That's a bit of shame for the male Aussie swimmers. Before the Games, head swimming coach Alan Thompson has warned of a form decline from the swimmers. Looks like it has begun.

*Sigh* I was discussing this earlier with my good friend Summer & my mother, I really feel sorry for the Swimmers this year not only were they thrown into chaos because of that dude... can't remember his name at this time but I have no clue why but this year Australia in general seems to putting more pressure on the swimmers to do really well more then usual.
Also johnson not sure if it's because you worded it wrong but you said swimmers would be declining but yet the females have done extremely well at the Olympics so I'd re-word that the only swimmer I've been personally annoyed at was Leisel Jones with the whole fainting thing. My friend Summer is swimmer and takes it quite serious, she was right in saying someone of her talent and level shouldn't be having those problems at this current time no excuse , sure she was concentrating on winning but she's been trained to swim correctly - breathing right and everything. If she knew she was pushing she should of slowed it down Silver or Bronze isn't something swimmers should be ashamed of.
Also just because none of the males took home Gold doesn't mean there's a decline - Grant was very, VERY close behind the person who came first if he was in decline he'd be back near third.
As well as that I believe people or aka Australia in general are still believing our Swimmers have to pull a Ian Thorpe. aka always having to pull gold or breaking some record.

I think we've won 4 golds today so we're now up to 3rd on the medal rankings.

I wish Australia could focus on other sports as much as they do with Swimming like Basketball isn't the Opals doing awesome !

YES i love the Opals! Though i really do love the swimming, the womens team has done exceptionally well in my books!

Also, the womens softball team!! Who would have thunk they would be winning all these matches!?!

Ahh i watched the Volleyball match on SBS today, what a ripper!!

Poland V USA, i really thought the Pols had it in them.. they were doing so well.. 5 setter- USA won

200m sprints round 2 and again Usain Bolt decides to slow down before the line

still won his heat but ended up slower than some others in the other heats

big talks at the moment whether he will be able to beat Michael Johnson's record set 12 years ago at Atlanta 1996

Well the Olympics are over and the Paralympics are just over two weeks away (it will be shown on the ABC). Nine and Foxtel have the Australian rights to Vancouver 2010 Winter Games and London 2012 Summer Games, but I also believe that Foxtel are eyeing the rights to London 2012 Paralympic Games. Do you think Seven should bid for the 2012 Paralympics to at least continue its association with the Olympic movement in some fashion?

Nah leave it to ABC to have Paralympics, its fair coz SBS got the complimentary coverage... the littler stations should have something too! hehe

Haha Beckham doesnt have to do much but stand there...

Aug 26 2008, 10:07 AM
I hope Nine do a good job. I did get a little annoyed at Seven a few times...because I was really interested in an event but they switched to it only to watch the Australian compete and then put something else on.
Hopefully the London coverage might span over a couple of Nine's channels so they can show a few events at once.
