The Official HJU Beijing Olympic Games Thread

[Takuya]

Yeah, indeed Bolt was unrespectful. But, and I dont want to be polemic or anything, all of those discussions you said were from USA commenters, right? What Im tryin to say it's that it seems more of a butthurt coz the USA havent dominated...you know, commenters are always supporters first. It's normal

I disagree.

The US haven't dominated but we've done pretty well. The commentators were pretty lavish with their praise of Bolt, too...if they were really partial supporters first, I don't think they would be commentators; it wouldn't work. And despite hearing it from a US station I'm sure the world feels the same way. Sportsmanship is sportsmanship, it's pretty darn universal.

Now THIS is they type of Olympic coverage I'm looking for:

:thumbs:


For this one...sure it's from the American broadcast, but I'm surprised that it wasn't censored by the Chinese production crew (slightly NSFW, if you have uptight/conservative co-workers)

O.O

Whoa. Who are they? And lol...you can see Nastia Liukin in the background going "wtf." XD

I love that look on her face. XD It would have been so awesome to have seen that live.

Oh, come on! The first pic, I can understand, but what happened in that second pic is quite commonplace. Just girls kissing each other on the cheek! Nothing incredibly sexual about that. :laugh:

Other than that, I'm very proud of Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson in the Gymnastic Events. :thumbs:

I'm proud of Japan toppling the US in softball. How's that for the sport's encore? I hope that the Japanese will be able to pull off the same feat in baseball.

Softball is a womens sport.

Softball is a womens sport.

At least Japan's victory means that Softball has a chance of coming back in 2016.
