The first gold medal was awarded for shooting BB guns. A gal from China won. Finland is expected to win horse shoes and the Russians will take the gold in lawn jarts.
Synchronized diving, really? I watched some the other night and was amazed that it was actually an Olympic Sport.
It's actually pretty impressive. I like some of the obscure sports. Why should these people not get their time to shine? The more Olympic sports, the better, IMO.
OMG....OMG....OMG...OMG in Heaven. I just saw another Olympic sport.... Womens Team Handball. Honestly, can you throw a ball 10 feet... OK, you're on the Olympic Team. OH, you mean I have to beable to hit a net half the size of a soccer goal? LOL Man, I'm glad I never went to the Olympics. LOL Track and Field... you bet. Shooting sports.... OK. But Womens Team Handball???/ NOPE. About as bad as Beach Volleyball.
Did you hear about the redneck who won a gold medal in the Olympics? He was so proud, he had it bronzed.
Let me get this straight, you think Condoleezza Rice is HOT.....but you wont watch women's beach volleyball????
