  • Olymp-rigged

    Okay, I've got to stop staying up every night watching the Olympics.  I'm not getting enough sleep and I come to work all cranky.   But to top it all off I get all worked up & angry when it comes to competitive sports. These past two nights watching the women's Olympics have got me all worked up and riled up.  How the HECK can you land on your knees and still deserve to get a medal?!!?!?    And OMG last night, Nastia Lukin vs. He Kexin on uneven bars.  That was some jacked up tie breaker!  Rigged I tell you!!~  I believe Nastia clearly had better execution of her performance than He Kexin.  And what's up with the gymnastics in the Olympics that they can only award 1 gold?!?!?!  Didn't they just award 2 medals for silver in the sprints?!?!  ArGhHHh!!~  I think Nastia deserved the gold.  Boooo...booo... boooo....


    And is it just me or do none of the chinese athletes look of qualifying age?  I mean they're hella good, but damn' I'm asian too and I look young for my age, but I don't think at 16 I've ever looked like I was 12.    I guess it gives you an advantage when you've got the body of a 12 year old and you're 4'10.


    Okay, enough of this it's out of my system now.  ArGggHhHh.... okay. Now it is. No more.


    Sooooo... did anyone catch the Gunshow last night at the Men's Gymnastics Rings final?  Woooo baby!

  • gun show -- i call them hamburger arms.

  • dood, i feel the same way about everything you brought up!  wtf?!?!  i don't understand why gymnastics can't award two golds when they do it in other sports... swimming, track and field, etc.  such a ripoff!  stupid, dumb rules.  and i hate how they got rid of th perfect 10.  not like this scoring system is any better!

  • @GeLLiBeLLy - I agree about getting rid of the perfect 10.  I really don't like the new scoring system!

    @huinita - Haha hamburger arms!  They don't look juicy enough to be hamburgers to me lol :)

  • i love nastia liukin - her body just looks really good doing gymnastics.  apparently the chinese team prides themselves on understanding the new scoring system better, so they optimize the difficulty of the routine to get a better score...so it's not so obvious to the audience what the deductions are, etc.  i'm glad that everyone got some golds - nastia with the all around, shawn johnson on the beam. 

  • @janee - I think it was great that last night everyone got some golds.  I think Shawn Johnson is just adorable, she reminds me of a Carebear.

  • oh i know...i don't understand how that chinese girl got the medal.  wth??!
