I like sticking up for the underdog its just my way ,ive never liked bullies ,and when i bite them in the ass they run ,
Is that the best you can do hasslehoff look alike your probably just as smarmy ,as that twat or worse ,and no i wont go away especially as now i can see it is affecting you so decrementaly :lol:
That is not what it means. First the younger girls are more flexable, second, their smaller size makes a number of the disciplines easier. and third IT IS CHEATING. If that is the way you guys want to 'win' medals, well I guess you are desperate. And you are an ingorant loser. And, no, I am not envious of that.
You have no affect on me you pathetic twit, I do get a good laugh from your "truther" cut & pastes though.
How's the unemployed life treating you, perhaps you should get your self a job you lazy leech. Does the government pay for your internet?

Oh look another idiot who read a profile that i wrote ,if i told you that i was gainfully employed ,im sure that you would find fault with that,for your information i do not collect welfare as you call it as i have enough savings to cover my sorry ass ,so you hopeless attempt at witticism about being a lazy leech really has no effect on me you see i have worked enough to pay my own way in society,but you would not understand that because of your profound
stupidity.
Why is this did they up your medication..? Or have taken tomorrows as well because your to dumb to remember that you have already taken it..!!!
What a shame you have not made any posts, as i would be amazed to see what puerile crap that would entail ,i guess that because reading writing and spelling come naturally to some of us that ,i should not be so hard on those of you do seem to be mentality unstable and unable to function as the rest of us who have these quality's that you are so clearly lacking in...
Just taking the sting outta his tail ,he likes to dig at china then when somebody does the same to him he gets all upset.:lol:
Gymnastics is very very difficult. My daughters were in competetive gymnastics for
a few years, but then they began to grow.
The smaller the body, the easier they can manipulate all of the moves. So, if one is
naturally inclined toward the sport, stays very small, matures mentally, they will
excel much easier than someone who gets taller, much more difficult to control all
of those long legs and arms, and back, than a smaller person with much lower center of
gravity.
I didn't know that anyone could be 'underage' in the olympics, I thought, as long as one
can qualify, they were elegible.
I watched the girls last night, felt very sad for the u.s. girl who fell 'twice', she was
devastated, as she knew she had lost it for the team, that is hard to swallow, after all
of the years of work they put into it, but that is life, she will get over it, and move on.
The chinese girls were great, looked like little dolls, and obviously fed off of the home crowd too, good for them they deserved the win.
Maybe, but to me she looked emotionally frozen, as the pressure on these athletes is
far too great, and the mistakes mean far too much to 'all' ,in the sport.
These girls many times eat too 'little', to keep themselves small enough to continue,
and work far too hard, practicing all the time, put way too 'much' on the outcome, as a win
can bring them so much money and fame, and 'commercials' and their picture on the box
of wheaties, and such.
Dont' know how the chinese girls are treated by their country, by winning a gold medal, it
would be interesting to know. I wonder if they just return to their regular lives, and
are not given so much money and attention, that the western world give their athletes.
It would be healthier if they return to a more normal routine.
Hi Colpy , Obviously Canada is not a 3 world country (whatever that could be) .I t just amuses me to read the statements of members who know nothing about China ,have never visited the country but talk about China as if they were long time residences.
China is a vibrant country ,alive, 24/hr a day ;it has peoples spirit that is absent in so many western countries .
It went on for too long. The saddest part for her will be 20 years from now when she's too embarrassed to watch herself on the replays, at a time when she'd be proud to say she won silver. As the announcers said, she wasn't mentally strong enough for the pressure before and proved it once again.
I don't know of them very well individually, but from what they said, she was the senior performer for her team, and had won many many high pressured 'meets', so, don't think that was
the case, she just freaked out when she 'fell' on the mount onto the balance beam, and
surprised herself so much, the last thing she was expecting was a 'fall', and she never did
recover, I can agree with your view, if this was her first performance at a high level, but
she is a veteran, from what I have heard anyway, and felt the responsibility to lead this
team.
No, silver isn't what they were after, it was gold, silver, right now for them ,'sucks'. and it
always will, everytime she talks about it, she will feel that.
There is nothing recreational about this sport, it is way too serious for young people,
and will affect them for a long time, she will feel better when she is a 'coach' and is teaching young girls the sport, and she will remember how 'horrible' she felt at that moment (moments), and hopefully she will instill into her students, that they must
save a little bit of 'feeling' for themselves, as they won't always win.
All fine and dandy, I think thus far I couldn't agree more. But I'll try. The doping issue is very interesting, more so than the events themselves, but that's just me. "Ligitimate human performance" frames the point of interest for me nicely. What is ligitimate human performance if not the ability to physically enhance the specimins parameters? Legally, I know there are some issues and morally I suppose is where the greatest concern/emphasis lies,. But isn't this also a test of industry and science, quite certainly it is despite the masses concept that it is just good sport, it is in fact a contest of political and economic concerns as well and certainly far more important than the actual scores medals and times or the various heroic performances.
Like you I have barly concealed contempt for the whole show and unless some athlete can turn him or herself inside out in ten seconds or less I'm not likely to pay any attention, seen too many of the bloated circuses. I'll suggest it is a very real contest of powerfull elite corruption that excludes none of what we expect in the realm of coporate greed and sleeze.
Strangely enough, although it's not strange at all, women play better hockey than men, and I very much prefer to watch them than the men, I do anyway, why not hockey too, it's a cleaner more gracefull game. Fascinating creatures hockey jockesses. Sure, China might be a totalitarian repressive state but I kind of think that's more the aforementioned extraevent competition that's always playing for time and points in the background on the backshift.
I think we in the west have done well with our observation of repressive regimes and are very nearly ready to compete with the best domestically, not just overseas. See that queer imploding aspect of narrowing attention that affords the best players an iron grip on the citizenship and consequently the direction of state. I'm pretty sure these will be the last Olympics, if there is another it will be contested by machines, the logical highest test of ligitimate human physical performance. Dexter we decide what is ligitimate, the criteria is profit based entirely. Tactical nuclear weapons are now ligitimate.
