Soooo....Serbia got silver in the sniper competition?

Yeah, its the one event that our team was able to get lots of [l]target[/l] practice in

But seriously, this chick won, who apparently has held the gold for a number of years now. You know, she might actually come in useful in getting us a few more medals.

"Its the last minute of the game, with Serbia just hanging on to the lead. The opposing team is on the offensive now, and -oh my god, he's down! He's down. Ladies and gentleman, I have never seen anything like this before. There's blood everywhere now! And there goes the whistle. Serbia is the winner. The officials have chosen to ignore that conspicously loud bang sound shortly before the end of the match. I repeat, Serbia has been declared the winner! "

Ow, yeah! We rule! Coming back from 8th place to finish 2nd Damn, v.d Hoogeband rules. If it were 200m on the last run, we'd have won

Actually, Holland's pretty Mediocre really - Vandenhoogenband and Inge Debruen are pretty much propping up the team in comparison to us and the yanks - I was talking about the South Africans coming from nowhere to win what was being billed as a two horse race effectively between Thorpe and Phelps.

the USA BBall team got beat by ****ing puerto rico

[Ford Prefect]

You needn't be terribly insulted by that. Puerto Rico is part of the United States....

[Rictor]

yeah, they're not actually that good. During the last world championship (not the olympics, the proper basketball championship) they got knocked off pretty early, by either New Zealand or Serbia, I forget which. Didn't make it to the semis even.

I'll try to explain my complex opinions with an even more complex chart.

Women's beach voleyball -
Olympics -

[Rictor]

Too bad they're not doing it the old fashioned way, like the Greeks did a few thousands years ago  - in the nude.

Now that would be something to watch. Most Islamic countries would probably ban it, as would the US. But who cares, its all about the European chicks

Women's beach volleyball: The sport where everyone wins.

Actually the women's gymnastics isn't too bad either. Especially those Romanian girls.

jailbait...

too bad it wasn't a real one. do also bear in mind that journalists are having less restricted access than the average visitor.

[Ford Prefect]

No it's not all jailbait! It used to be that way.

It's impressive how intellectual we can be when we want to.

well, yeah. they have put 16 as the minimum age. which just means that the demographics are slightly better. the ones I saw on tv yesterday was 15-16...

He wasn't working as a journalist, though - he faked his way in by lying on an application form for a job.  

Of course, this is the Daily Mirror, so it's likely to be complete and utter bollocks.  

They also have a habit of 'exposing serious security flaws' by publishing them for all and sundry to exploit, before claiming it's done in the public interest (in which case why not pass it on to the authorities and do a story after the event, rather than shout about it in the middle?)

Heh...

Holland - Tiny tiny country
You & US - Big ass nations

Personally, I think we are doing quite a good job. You guys have practically an unlimited supply of sporters while we have to make it with only a few.

Hell, Australia ended up 6th IIRC... The US ended up 3rd. Both behind Holland. Sorry, but I just have to gloat when we beat the favourites

We don't have that many people. We're just damned good.

We lost to Iraq in the first football game

*goes in the corner and cries*

[Rictor]

Hmmm, maybe if I could convince Dubya to invade Serbia, we could actually get a decent footie team together. It seems to be working like a charm.

Are you pondering what I'm wondering?
Afghanistan vs Iraq in the World Cup 2006 finals.
