"I'm beginning to like the Olympics."

It's excellent, like a live version of Auntie's Sporting Bloomers. So far 'Great' Britain has managed to lose nearly every event, except for the badminton, and after 4 years of training, came second in the bombing competition. Then one of our most prized athletes jumped in a swimming pool and hit a camera (wtf!?), and proceeded to sob live on television, to millions of people, about how she's wasted 4 years of her life. *slow claps* you spend your life training for this one day, then crap your legs up. Better than that was the bike-riding-lady who rode into a wall. It's like there's been a huge mix-up and we sent our Special Olympics team in for the real thing.

The women's volleyball was pretty good though...

I watched a Beach Volleyball match one day.
Two of them were Nadia lookalikes.

Not really my cup of tea, sorry.

mmm womens volley ball - those shorts. mmmm

It was one of our women 'swimmers'. It's all explained in my original post, but I'll relate it again, because it's that funny:

One of our Olympic swimmers, who trained for four years, dived into a pool and hit a camera, scraping up her legs, and then going on to lose the race she was training for. Funniest thing was that she was crying live on TV right after the race, acknowledging that she had wasted her life.

I love seeing people self-destruct live on television.

He must have tried pretty hard to manage that.

What, did he miss the pool or something?

The original Olympics were done naked and by men. That's really unerotic. Unless you like man-ram.

Most of the events are "unerotic" as you call it, Goatboy.

Muscular women with six packs and pec's.

No thanks.

I could do as well as Paula Radcliffe.
In fact, I do whenever me and mate play videogame Olympics - if I'm not going to win, I stop mashing the pad and proceed to throw Total Recall quotes at him in an exaggerated Austrian accent to make him lose his stamina/concentration.
I mean really, stopping because you're not going to win? That's bloody easy, I'd have beaten her if I peddled round on a child's tricycle with flags on the handlebars.

I love the fact our diver hit a camera and our cyclist smashed into a wall like some pcp-enraged chimpanzee on Animalympics.
The synchronised diving is basically bummer-bombing for shaven-chesters.
Equestrian events are pointless, as Snuggly said, I could sit on an animal and steer it sideways whilst it lunged like it had been shot with tranquilisers and call it "dressage".
The women's volleyball is curiously unerotic, maybe it's the 12yr boy figures they have and those stupidly small bikini bottoms that remind me of when you retrieve your saran-wrapped kebab from the fridge 3 days after the fact.
I hate Steve Cram and keep being reminded of the fact he looks like a negative of Richard Pryor in Blue Collar.

Paula is a legend. Don't diss her.

The Marathon woman bit was funny.

Reminded me of all those DeadRingers spoofs of the sailing woman who cried all the time.


I'm good with names.

I'm genuinely beginning to enjoy the olympics. It occured to me that it's so refreshing to see so many different sporting events that usually don't get the airtime.

I've seen some pretty weird events, and actually found myself getting quite into some of them.

I've also learnt that Russia has its fair share of sweet female athletes. Korea does not.
