hair, as important as a gold medal

[Particle Man]

Who cares about her damn hair?

She's superhuman considering what she does every day.

Maybe they shoudl hold the Olympics in Atlanta again. Age of consent in GA is 16. Then agian, when the games go to Brazil it'll probably be 12 and all gymnasts will be of age. Which will probably be a major relief for all of the male female-sport coaches.

Bunch-a sickos. Or, making an attempt at being a legal sicko.

I think this olympics might be one of the best yet. Too bad I don't have any TV package and the coverage in the US is locked down by money/contracts so I have to hack my life into being able to watch it.

I mean, these girls flying through the air, people running when they don't actually have legs, swimmers breaking all sorts of records, the shooting has been awesome... all of it. Bravo to all of them.

Actually these games have probably been the most disappointing. They keep fucking everything up. Unless you like mistakes, then these games are awesome lol.

A couple of the women's hurdles have been particularly entertaining

Anybody see the vault yesterday? There were some pretty bad falls.

Yeah, with one coming from a very unexpected source. I haven't seen any follow-up interviews, but she must be crushed.

I felt bad for the girl that abandoned her second vault at the last second, too. You could tell she wanted to power through the pain, but based on the amount of time they were tending to her ankle afterwards it seems she made the right call.

ETA: Looked a couple reports up, and have to say it's impressive how she is handling it:

"I didn't deserve to to win gold if I landed on my butt... I'm not disappointed about the silver, I'm disappointed about my performance.

It happens, it's gymnastics and you can't be perfect and sometimes things don't go as you planned. I can't blame it on anything except I screwed up."

Yeah. When she started running for her second try I thought that was pretty ballsy.
