Olympics thread!! Update 1 Medal count 8/11/08

[Ball3r]

Mens relay was badass, that was the best race ever. I think they said 6 teams beat the old world record. Crazy, 3 teams beat the goddamn world record and didn't even get a medal

Lol, bad luck to the three teams that missed out. At least they accomplished a feat that not everyone can achieve.

[THUGGEDOUT]

I also watched the "Redeem Team" take on China, in the beginning I thought China was going to give them a good game, but the lead got too big...

Depending on what time the Australian Woman's basketball game is broadcasted, I might catch a bit of the action provided it's not on to late. I want to check our superstar basketball player, Lauren Jackson.

Lol i was going to make a thread regarding Olympic medals.. But it all went pearshaped.

Just refer to here to keep an eye on medals : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...le/default.stm

Ok? I understand Gold,Silver,Bronze but T?? What is that? Tin?

[webshark]

if you notice, the T category for each nation is equal to G + S + B.....

[THUGGEDOUT]

T stands for total I think...

In womens basketball, USA demolishes China 106 to 63...

[bubano]

Ok thanx for your answers. Never counted totals (tins). Only counting the medals...

[MDwrestler]

T means title, I tried to post the it straight from nbc but it came out all messed up

[Beemer]

NBC is showing all kinds of encores, and carrying the lesser televised events live online.

http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/index.html

Replays of swimming, basketball, waterpolo, handball...pretty much everything. They also have a schedule of events that will stream live. Decent quality video too, although you have to download MS Silverlight (free download)

I didnt know how to post the page on here without it getting messed up so its kinda messy but its accurate

Wow, China are really dominating at the moment with nine gold medals. At the rate their going, this may be a one horse race.

I'm just stating a possibility mate, I'm not saying that this will actually happen. And Michael Phelps is doing unbelievably well so far with three gold medals already next to his name.

[Serinous]

Was watching the archery even today, man can those South Koreans aim or what...

Yeh, China came close too. The best and 3rd best sport archers are both in the Korean team... Crazy good.

[THUGGEDOUT]

Woohoo U.S.A on 20 medals so far, Phelps gets his third Gold, Naltalie Goughlin gets Gold in swimming and Mariel Zagunis gets Gold in Fencing...

[MDwrestler]
