What use is an empty refrigerator?

I think the North Korean weightlifter Kim Kum Sok is a hero purely for the name alone.

I know the feeling! Why would they include an event my country doesnt get a medal in. Its a travesty!

Also, I thinks it worth noting that the NBC medal chart is dramatically different from the BBC one.

I wonder which definition of 'Winner' is considered kosher by all?

The one that doesn't put 3 gold Kazahkstan ahead of 2 gold plus 17 others Japan.

They're going to need a third method of ranking now, seeing as China now leads on both number of golds and number of overall medals.

Rank by medals per population.

They always rank that way here, whether the US is ahead or behind. I don't know why you guys are sniffing about it.

Currently watching the Omnium. I don't understand it.

**pongeystrhjst** · 08-06-2012, 09:57 PM

the coverage out here is of various Pacific islanders coming proudly coming last, missing finals but eating well for a change

**stutnerman** · 08-08-2012, 12:06 AM

Is that possible? Although the Chinese woman who swam faster than a man could in a leg of the medley probably set a new low

She's going to get Bo's spot on the Politburo.

I watched the Tae Kwon Do finals last night. Definitely one of the better sports to watch.

You wouldn't want him competing with that performance enhancer in his system.

**boxcigsnick** · 08-09-2012, 04:45 PM

Its just another reason I avoid the mega excess called the Olympics.

**M1zdL0hh** · 08-09-2012, 04:51 PM

I'm old and feeble Lori. My sport playing days are long past me.

Why do you ask?
