This explains a couple of things:

Foul? I don't see no foul.

Kind of sounds like a 19th/early 20th century officer training program. Or a Teddy Roosevelt parlor game. :)

I didn't see the match, but I don't think it's the clothes that makes her seem pornographic. :icon_wink:

Come to think of it, even her name sounds pornographic. :D

And hopefully drawing a couple of defenders. :icon_wink:

I don't know. What's his 40? :D

For real though, sign him up; we can TEACH him to catch a football.

Well, it has already been noted that the Olympics are not the only events he swims. Also bear in mind that the WRs he has been breaking have generally been records he himself set over the past two...

HE DID IT!!!

WR too.

Me, too.

How about Torres losing by .01. Guess it's karma for team USA. Some yin for Phelps' yang.

Probably need to give him a 2-3 row buffer, though, just so you don't get injured. :icon_wink:

I think there is ALWAYS complaining that the host country gets favorable treatment.

Whatever. Even my wife noticed. And my wife never seems to notice that sort of thing. :icon_razz:

I didn't stay up for the gymnastics (I had to get up at 5:30 this morning), but when my wife gave...

My wife is skeptical, too, for what it is worth. Which is highly ironic because a) she is Chinese and b) she looks about 19 (even though she is 34).

I would be surprised if China let something...

:D She has interesting, um, proportions for a gymnast. I'm sure her center of gravity is quite different compared to most of those ankle-biters.

What do they pay these commentators? My family is watching the women's synchronized diving. The commentator just said, and I quote, "In synchronized diving, it is SO important that you train in the...

You jest, but I have been known to pull over and savor the moment for a couple of minutes. Whenever I catch one, especially by surprise, I let out this gasp of exclamation, which everyone in the car...

I think lesser forms of it are encoded in the genome. People tend to rate more symmetrical faces as more attractive. I think God is into symmetry, too. :)

Funny you mention it. I've never been attracted to synchronized sports, but I have this strange, mystical relationship with palindromes. Every time my odometer produces one, I get, well, moved. Like...

The deal, you see, is that they actually begin their gymnastics training in utero over there, so they have a head start. :icon_wink:

Actually, I am only partly joking. Athletes are VERY actively...

First off, I don't even want to know how your ass got tanned, even in the desert. Second, who is supposedly 16?

I think all the good Romanians emigrated west and are competing for other countries....

It's not real hostile, I just have to watch out using the word "we" and stick to country names so I don't increase tensions. :icon_wink:

Honestly, I don't get into it as much as I used to. For one...

Soccer is HUGE in China, far and away the most popular sport there, with basketball a very distant second. Almost no one there has heard of Tiger (there are like 3 golf courses in the country, though...
