Still the population of Australia is roughly 21,388,597 and the USA has 304,840,000 so if you compare size we are infact on par...

From AP yesterday: "Michael Phelps etched his name with Mark Spitz and Carl Lewis among the winningest Olympians ever Tuesday."

The man swims like a fish and never gets tired! He did two beats yesterday.......50 minutes apart........and won 'em both

Laurie............I thought I did quite well on this thread ............ my tongue will heal shortly and same_old and I has an understanding

Gotta learn more Aussie talk...........somehow "throw a shrimp on the barbie" and "Sheila" didn't help me much on this thread

Ok, so I know I said I don't wanna be here when the "Big Event" happens here in 2010 in BC and I do thank you but... I have a Sis who lives in Pickering, a cuz who lives in the "Beaches".... Let's be honest.. if I'm think'n of getting away from the "hussle & bussle".. Toronto isn't going to do it for me *lol*

I love coming out there, your nite life is fantastic but it never stops.. no time for recoup but I do appreciate the offer not to mention the 401... it's the scariest drive I have ever made, until you get past the Don Valley... does rush hour ever end out there?

I have to add I am sad to say the Aussie's have proved me wrong so far, I honestly thought they'd rule the "waters" but unfortuntely not happening but..

Congrats to all those Countries who have attained medals to date!

(see, told you I wasn't "againts" the Olympics

My predictions based on paddypower odds

David Price (GBR) 3 - 1

Mens superheavyweight boxing

The guy is huge. 6ft 8ins

He stopped the favorite in his first bout. He has a punchers chance against anyone. He could turn out to be an excellent pro in years to come.


Usain Bolt 1 - 10

mens 200m athletics

Crap odds but I can see him doing something special in the final. Maybe challenge Michael Johnsons World Record. He is 1-4 to win the 100m.

I dont think there will be any value in this bet but I will be watching his races with interest

Usain Bolt to win the 100 and 200 Metres 3 - 10


I am struggling to come up with any decent value bets. Maybe the USA failing to win the mens 4X100m relay. Ive not seen the betting for this yet.

Chinese Athletes to pull off a few shocks in different events. They have home advantage & some have been appearing from nowhere.

I also feel that basket ball in olympics is really very interesting to watch. But i like swimming the most. I also like to play online games online and there is a useless online games site that I spam regularly which has lots of online games to play. These are really very enjoyable if you're 2 years old and thick as a US president.

Michael Phelps won his record eighth gold medal Sunday at the Beijing Olympics as a member of the victorious U.S. 400-meter medley relay team, breaking a tie with Mark Spitz for most golds in a single games.

BEIJING - AUGUST 16: Michael Phelps of the United States celebrates victory in the Men's 100m Butterfly Final held at the National Aquatics Centre during Day 8 of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on August 16, 2008 in Beijing, China. By winning gold in the Men's 100m Butterfly Phelps tied Mark Spitz's record of winning seven gold medals in a single Olympic Games.

Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen, Phelps and Jason Lezak won in a world-record of 3 minutes, 29.34 seconds, lowering the old mark of 3:30.68 set four years ago in Athens.

The U.S. swept the men's relays in Beijing, with Phelps leading off in the 400 and 800 free relays. Lezak anchored the 400 free to a narrow victory over France to preserve Phelps' historic bid.

Australia took the silver in 3:30.04.

Japan earned the bronze in 3:31.18.



BIGGEST CONGRATS TO MY FRIENDS IN AUSTRALIA! WAY TO GO

[same_old]

Aweee your sweet, thanks for that.


I have to say the USA is doing extremely well well done guys.

It's a sad day. China's great hurdles champion and Gold medallist at Athens 2004 Liu Xiang hobbled off due to a recurring Achilles tendon injury in the 110 metres hurdles qualifiers. I am very upset myself to see the man in so much pain.
