He's from the town where I graduated uni, although they'll normally only say baltimore. Oh and I know the guy from Channel 11 (our sister TV station) that's going to cover the games, I'm sooooo jealous of him for getting to go to greece . Other than paying attention to that (kinda sorta) I don't really watch the olympics much anymore. They were really fun as a kid, now they hardly show anything! ^_^

It seemed to us that the girls used to fling themselves from the high bar to the low bar and land on their stomachs and in general the routines we saw last night seemed slower. I'm not saying they weren't good, but they just weren't like we remembered.

terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003	You think so? I can't really tell b/c I know all their routines by heart so I'm used to seeing those things, I watch all the national/international meets. But the moves have only gotten harder, and some girls, like Mohini, have made up their own signature moves. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	they moved the uneven bars farther apart about 12-16 years ago, that's part of why they don't seem as difficult. it was thought that the act of hitting your stomach on the other bar was a little too hard on your body, so they pushed the bars farther apart to prevent it. the routines are still difficult though, don't let it fool you "That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

Well i have been watching the Olympics abit. I must say i have enjoyed the swimming the most so far. But the beach volley ball has been alright. I hate the equestrian events. Seriously, what are horses doing in the event which celebrates 'humanity'. Sheeesh.. -- Gomer

I'd like to see you jump those gates Actually I don't really see why equestrian events are in the Olympics either. Either way you have to admit they're gorgeous, graceful animals.

aussiebloke Fish Addict Posts: 727 Kudos: 851 Votes: 12 Registered: 31-Aug-2003	I dont think he can any more because of Thropie beating him in the 200. I got up at 3;30am this morning to watch Argentina and Australia in the soccer thinking it would be an exciting game. Fell asleep after 30 mins. Rather disapointed actually.
