2008 Beijing Summer Olympics

I wasn't. Yao Ming is really only 60-70% and the Chinese just don't have the team to be able to get out and run with the guys that we bring to the table. Plus Yi had a horrible game.

 

I wasn't surprised at all, either. The spread for the game was +30 and Team USA won by 31. They were big-time favorites and they backed it up.

I guess Chinese efforts to control the weather have failed. :lol:

Did anyone out there know this bit of trivia?

 

The US has more Gold Medals all time (897) than all but one country has total medals all time (The Soviet Union has 1122 total medals all time, second most, and third most is held by the Great Britain with 677.5 total).

 

Total Medals All Time

USA- 2197 (897 Gold, 693.5 Silver, 606.5 Bronze)

Soviet Union- 1122

Great Britain- 677.5

Germany- 617.5

France- 600

Bad news for US girls.

Bad news for US girls.

 

I agree, I'm not sure why either. She had her warm-up off and looked ready to go until the rest of the girls walked up..

Since this stuff was taped earlier today, I can tell that you an article I read stated that she heard her ankle pop and that's why she couldn't perform.

 

Of course I won't give away what happens. :lol:
