powerlifting ftw

They don't have Powerlifting in the Olympics, just Weightlifting.

Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press = Powerlifting =/= Olympic Sport

Snatch, Clean and Jerk = Weightlifting = Olympic Sport

I think they have Powerlifting in the Paralympics though.
 


Women's beach volleyball FTW.

No, I actually ran track, played lacrosse and soccer. The sports are fun to play, I guess, but who the fuck wants to watch people run in circles on tv. Booooooring. Let's not even get started on the snorefest that is soccer. Bring on the NFL season. kthx.

Whats the difference between football and soccer? They both run up and down a field chasing a ball. The only difference is that NFL players are giant whiny overpaid bitches.

The difference is that fags play 'futbol', or soccer. "Ooh, he touched my leg, I'm going to fall down like a cocksucking queen and cry".

I played football, wrestled, and played racquetball all through HS/college and have yet to call a foul, yellow card, or mulligan on anyone, regardless of injury.

Fags play soccer, nuff said.
 
employment to many people + tourism is bringing in cash + investment in the country past 7 years

"The Beijing municipal government estimates that by 2008, the Olympic economy will have created as many as 2.1 million new job opportunities."

hotel was fucked because the government put really strict rules on getting visa
Many vacant hotel rooms remain ahead of Olympics - - SI.com

tourism was hurt badly because all the Chinese people want to stay home and watch the game

most of the construction worker came from other state..and they are forced to leave BJ right after construction because the government doesn't want foreigner to see the real Chinese people

many family lost their home to built the stadium

So what you're saying is there are a lot of BJ's in China?
 
last night's opening ceremony was really dope. right now though, i'm getting sick of men's volleyball, who the fuck wants to watch that?
 
The opening ceremony was friggin amazing. That had to be the biggest LCD on the entire planet.

And the squares going up and down in the middle that turned out to be hundreds of real people?! WTF only China would ever do that.
 
I Love the Olympics! especially using it for my PPC offers, it rocks.
Michael Phelps was awesome today. 1 down 7 to go!
 
Nickycakes: Agreed.
For a country that has so much money that it actively has to waste it to ensure it's currency is kept at a low value compared to those of developed nations (that's what most of the spending on the Olympics is about. Wasting money to keep the Yuan low), it's pretty messed up that they can't even get clean water to people.
Hell, there are people drinking at the downstream end of the Yangtze, and that's now more polluted than the Nile!

Jizzlober: You know you want to -skittle- that shit ;)

bbwolfe: Try some Rugby. That's the football of manliness.

get real.. 100 mil is chump change for a country like china.
There was a $500 million ecstacy bust here in australia this week.
WWWHHHYYYYY!!!!!????? *cries like an emo*
 
I'm happy to say I haven't wasted 30 secs of my life watching the orympics, fuck watching people run around in circles.
