Usain Bolt clearly went to the Terrell Owens school of sportsmanship: blow the competition away, then act like an a**hole. The Cowboys should probably offer him a contract.
Michael Phelps looks like Eli Manning.
Phelps´8 golds is obviously an amazing feat. But to repeatedly call him ¨greatest Olympian of all time¨? Please. Sure, he´s dominant in his sport, but so is Rafael Nadal right now, and no one is calling him ¨greatest Olympian of all time¨ for winning gold in men´s singles. Maybe if every olympic sport had 500 different events like swimming does we could begin to crown a single dominant olympian ¨greatest ever¨. Why can´t we just leave his title at ¨greatest swimmer of all time¨?
The gymnastics events remind me of the circus, and I´m kind of scared of the circus. Therefore, gymnastics kind of scares me.
Fencers spend way too much time waiting to attack. Just do it already!
Judo is an incredible sport. It´s like wrestling 2.0.
Why can´t there be indoor skiing events for the summer olympics? China could have built an indoor skiing park in about 2 weeks.
The Chinese basketball team is really just a live Chinese Yao Ming museum.
Men´s weightlifting can be frightening to watch. For my point of reference, see this.
Why can´t they have spotters at each side? Would have at least saved thius dude´s elbow. OUCH.
Rowing is painfully under-televised in Chile.
Fishing should be an olympic event. How does this sound for the event list: freshwater fly, freshwater spinning, saltwater trolling, drifting, fly, etc. Biggest fish wins. If any country could construct a perfectly flowing, temperature controlled trout stream in the middle of a massive city, it´s gotta be China.
Volleyball players are really just champion huggers.
Hasta Pronto Amigos. Sorry it´s been so long between updates...life has been all over the place recently. Will be posting many juicy updates soon, especially about the English debates I am currently preparing some students for. First round was this morning, and we came in last place, but for Liceo Politecnico in Taltal that´s quite a victory! Will tell all later...time to get my monthly gringo consumption fix of mall, movie, and pizza here in Antofagasta.
