Fernando Gonzalez (tennist, Chile) beat some French today and has to play with Blake (who beat Federer) in semifinals. Let's go for that bronze (or silver)! (coz Gold is obviously Nadal)

Li Na was great!

So, back to the olympics: Holland is doing not to bad in the judo/wresling departments, again medals there.

Grol's reaction afterwarths was epic.. Imo he won the half final.. aw well.

+another silver by the horsies  :lol: The most uninteresting event in the whole Olympics.

We're still averaging more than a medal a day!  XD

Anybody saw the Swede weightlifter throw his medal down and walk off the stage?

He said he's quitting the team because he didn't win the gold.

Crybaby.  It might not have been gold, but winning any Olympic medal is still mighty impressive.

Lol. First of all Ara is a wrestler not a weightlifter. :D 2ndly, he did it because he didn't want it, because of what happened earlier. The only reason why he even competed in the bronze match was because SOK top dog gave him a motivational speech to "show these muther fuckers" after the complete fuck up by the refs in the semi final. IOC are thinking about taking the bronze from him coz of his action, which Ara has said he's cool with, since he didn't want it anyway. And they got bigger things on their hands, if SOK and Ara continues to pursue justice, things will heat up more since they are 100% right in this issue. What happened is all caught on tape and weather it was; bribes or some personal things doesn't matter. The referee made a major error and couldn't admit it, rather the opposite, he laughed in Ara's face, which was also caught on tape.

Hopefully all of this will shine light on the so very corrupted thing wrestling has become. 'Nuff off bullshit in the Olympics.

Leaving that behind, just watched Walsh and May win their 1/16 game (i think). They were 3 or 4 points behind in the first set, with the Belgians having serious chance to get that first set. But the Belgian girls just didn't have the nerves and fucked it all up. 2nd set was like childsplay for the no 1 team in the world.

Basketball! USA!!! Holy mother fucking lord. The yanks wanted redemption after last years loss in the WC and boy did they get it. Fuck me, the greeks was totally overrun by the oh so more physical american game. And Kobe, Bron, Wade and the boys did treat us on some epic fucking alley oops and stuff. My boy Wade went berserk after missing that whatever it was,  got like 3 or 4 steals in a row. Maybe that's what he need to do to get all rallied up. If the U.S keeps playing like this, then neither Spain nor any other team can stop them. Don't matter that they make less 3-pointers and have a less tactical performance. With that enthusiasm and force they're simply no 1.

Finally, today, the athletics began. I know i'm not the only one who's very excited about that!! Also tune in later tonight (chinese time) for Japan vs Cuba in Volleyball.

And here's Sweden's very own Mix Haxholm, member of the national Archery team and former miss Thailand. Yeah, born in Thailand, raised in Sweden. She can sometimes be seen in the in the JPH!P chatroom where she goes by the name: KoolKat. :inlove:

How do you guys follow the medal tally..

By the number of Gold, Silver, then Bronze Medals


or

By the Total Number of Medals


Personally I prefer the top tally..
eg. If one country wins 10 golds, and another country won 11 bronze, surely the one that won the golds were more successful..

But I guess the answer will vary by where your country is placed..

I'm going with the top tally and I'm American...
How can the team with almost twice the amount of golds be behind? But if we really wanted to be fair they could do something like a GPA, but I don't think something like this matters that much.

But China has been dominating almost everything the past couple days except in swimming.

I'm actually getting tired of watching Phelps win cause he's just crushing everyone. :lol:

Almost time for track!

Top tally, otherwise a country with just one gold medal, but doing that with like an 8 person team (rowing for example) could shoot up the rankings like mad.

^ Yeah for sure.

Awesome indvidual women's all-around final earlier today. I did however fall asleep at the end, but I already had a hunch of who's gonna get it. Solid performance by Tian Jia and Wang earlier today also. They're looking seriously good. Both their game and their bodies. :drool:

Speaking of tally's. The only one i use is the one on the official beijing site, which have some sort of smart value per medal system iirc: http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml

Don't miss the quarter final in womens soccer in ~40mins between Sweden and Germany. It's gonna be a war!
