So NBC is now showing rythmic gymnastics...what is this, Dancing with the stars or the Olympics? :biggrin:

I'm sure they work hard and all, but these events that are solely based on judging are just ridiculous to figure out. And yet they want to get rid of softball as an olympic sport...things that make ya go hmmm...

I think anyone who believes anything will happen to the Chinese gymnastics team is fooling themselves. If the Sovies get 37 do-overs before they got their basketball gold in '76, then they certainly aren't going to take these medals away.

Yeah it is pretty ironic given the staggering number of attacks on US .mil/.gov/.edu & corporate sites that originate in China.

Well... I guess I wouldn't expect them to originate in Pierre, South Dakota! But I guess since they did it, it's okay for us to do it right back! :biggrin:

I meant ironic in the sense that we suspect that they're cheating. So what do we do? We hack into their computers.

It's all good though. Let's get the [insert woodyworshipper asian slur here] f*ckers!

Somehow I very seriously doubt it was a US Government mission to hack into China's computers for that info.....

China Gymnastics

I assume children in China are born in hospitals...

Why don't we ask the Olympians and/or their parents what hospital they were born.. then match this up with whether or not their mothers were registered on the dates in question?

Not a smart thing for the Brits should look back at the Jamaican runner in the 4 x 400 semi final relay and put his finger to his lips. Now there is some talk that the Jamaicans might run Bolt in the finals which might Great Britain raid out of any chance for any metal.

Now this is what the Olympics are all about:!

AP

Angel Matos of Cuba and his coach were banned for life after the taekwondo athlete kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification against Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. Matos was declared the loser for taking too much injury time after hurting his leg. Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out.

Ukrainian weightlifter Igor Razoronov became the sixth athlete kicked out of the Beijing Olympics for doping, testing positive for the steroid nandrolone. Another Ukrainian, Lyudmila Blonska, was stripped of her heptathlon silver medal a day earlier after testing positive for a banned steroid.
