Agreed. Synchronised diving, gymnastics and indoor volleyball have ruined my plans to do work this week.

Polish indoor volleyball girls are hawt *cough*

i'm spewin that thorpe decided to "retire" and not compete in 08 beijing... fuck look at hackett go and hes 28... thorpe calls it quits when he was only 23...bastard.

if u think about it , without phelps the states have got jackshit... he has contributed 8 of the 17 golds they have... if we had thorpey or klim in there, we'd give him a run for his money... oz would sit in the top3 like we always do

he retired when he was 24, actually, but i do agree. it did seem that his times were dropping, though, so he peaked too early

i reckon if hackett can pick up his game like a champ then thorpey could as well...

its ironic, he calls it quits cos it doesnt want swimming to be his security blanket YET he attends beijing, other major comps. for swimming... seriously, what else has the guy got? hes a legend at it, there's nothing wrong with that...

hope the thorpe is inspired by these games, and i would say we would've smashed USA again if thorpe was in the relay team.... *thinks back to 2000 olympics 4 x 100m freestyle FUCKYEAH* - maybe he'll come outta retirement?

his Arts degree at macquarie uni is for the lulz.

i'm shocked that they just took a commercial break in the water polo. wtf! we just almost scored a goal - they didn't even show a replay, the chinese are counterattacking.... so they just go to commercials.

edit: over 2 mins of ads!!! wtf. i really hope they won't cut out any of the broadcast, and not rejoin the match live
edit2: wtf...so they just go to an interview with hacket...??!

Seven are shit. At least SBS are showing the water polo now (delayed obviously), so get to see everything that was missed on seven's coverage.

after we score the sailing medals we'll be up in it again... unless GB and Germany fuck us over and win some more gold...

haven't heard the aussie anthem at these games too much...

swimming was an epic phail. eamon sullivan needed to pick up his game for the home stretch today...

we dont have any star track and field aths do we?

good on the ladies for the brilliant streak of gold they left in the watercube though... all credit to them
