Electrophile Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The 100m fly was by far, the greatest race I've ever seen. Holy shit. An Olympic record is just as good as a world record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The 100m fly was by far, the greatest race I've ever seen. Holy shit. An Olympic record is just as good as a world record. Not quite but a great result nonetheless. One more can he do it? I admire the way he has handled the pressure, so far. The relay teams response was a little over the top, but WTF, winners are grinners and losers can please themselves! BTW the Australian womens relay was a damn fine effort from lane seven! Grant Hackett to break the world record for the 1500? I hope so, all will be revealed on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 It's too early in the morning here, and my heart was beating ten to a dozen, but I stayed up just to watch Becky Adlington totally shit on the 800m freestyle world record. We fucking underachieve in pretty much everything, so to see someone like Adlington go as fast and as far as she did was amazing to watch. She's made Nottingham proud and she's made Britain proud (which is a rarity) The commentary team were starting to cry (men), the poolside presenter had tears in her eyes, I had tears in my eyes. It was fucking amazing to watch. Bring on the victory ceremony. If I see our flag I may start blubbering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pageforever Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Take nothing away from Phelps, but his height played a role in that narrow victory. No doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Miss Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Fucking 100m world record, amazing. Not only is he insanely talented, but he fucking relaxed 10m before the end, and still broke the record. What an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pageforever Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Finally,something for Baltimore to be proud of besides STDs,murders,and heroin. Well the Oriole\'s are getting better. And Spitz did set the bar. He was incredible too, we should not forget that. Track and field should be fun to watch. The girl that won the women\'s relay (from Romania, but lives in Coloroda) was very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 CONGRATULATIONS MICHEAL PHELPS!!!! 8 gold medals! The greatest olympian of all time. Bigger than Miley Cyrus, or Justin Timberlake. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Michael Phelps is a dead set freak! Eight gold medals was not something to be achieved lightly. To be able to withstand the pressure of a nation riding his every stroke, virtually having to win every heat and semi just to qualify for finals and qualify he did. Swimming is a team sport consisting of oustanding athletes and canny tactical coaches. Phelps had amazing support from his mates and the results speak for thelmselves. Well done the Mens Swimmimg Team - USA. Great effort and well deserved, a true champion to his sport and a credit to his country. Carl Lewis might have something to say about that! Grant Hackett a marvellous end to a great career three successive Olympics = 2 Gold, 1 Silver and many world records. The Ozzie women's swim team, what can you say, consistently brilliant since Barcelona and continue the proud tradition once again in Beijing. See ya'll in London 2012.

pageforever Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Go sport, absolutely. Don\'t think it\'s possible to have it in a world untouched by politics, unfortunately. After watching his interview with Costas, I think that Phelps will stick with sports. I don\'t think he has a shot at politics. Amazing that he still won the butterfly after loosing his vision and had to be distracted big time. I\'ll never know how they can swim that stroke. It is the toughest one in swimming.
