Swimming: My eyes turn green because I can’t swim. I envy them for they can swim like a fish and glide thru water with ease. But I don’t understand the whole bodysuit thing. Who cares about aerodynamic? Swimming is supposed to be a spectators sport but there’s nothing to see when they cover up their whole body. Not that I got anything to lose since most of the women swimmers have got “not nice” body. Their shoulders are way too wide and they got no breast (flat chest I mean). I suppose female viewers are at lost since they didn’t get to see Ian Thorpe’s body because of the full body suit. Michael Phelps is good but he is too thin compared to Thorpe. They should bring back the old days where men swimmers only wear a trunk and female swimmers should only wear a 2-piece bikini *laugh*.

Volleyball: Female volleyball players really do have nice legs. Long and straight. But female volleyball is kind of boring. They hardly return a spike so most of the time they’ll just be trading points or blocking a spike hoping it will go in. Men volleyball is much better since you got to see longer rally more often. But really, female volleyball players really do have nice legs. It kinda reminds me of Mero Attack (not sure of the spelling). That show was really cool; I mean where else do you get to see “servis piring terbang”.

Weightlifting: Not sure which category but on this particular event, China won the gold medal. This China guy was the last lifter and during that last lift, he injured his back but he already won the event earlier. So he was helped to the dressing room by some guys and was lying down on the floor with agony in his face. And you know what our TV1 commentator said? He (the commentator) said that the China-man was lying there to relax after finishing the event. And then he saw the China-man crying so he assumes that he was crying because of joy. I mean, how blind can he (the commentator) be? The China-man injured his back and it was damn obvious that he was crying in pain and not tears of joy. Our local TV commentators really suck. And I hate it when they commentate on a soccer match. They got no idea what they’re talking about.

Fencing: This sport is actually meaningless. You score a point when you poke your opponent and who gets to poke his/her opponent 15 times will be the winner. They should change it to slashing instead of poking. Make it a first blood match. Whoever slashes their opponent to bleed first will be the winner. That would be much more interesting to watch. Those fencing swords are better suited for slashing than poking so use it the way as it should. Otherwise it’s a boring sport.

Diving: China rules, they practically swept all the gold medals. But too bad during one of the synchronized diving events, one of the China-man screwed up and messed up the whole thing. They were already leading but ended up in last place because of it. And then there’s this Newberry couple from Australia. The wife won the women diving event but the husband suck big time. He couldn’t even get to the top 8 for the 3-meter springboard event. 2 of our women diving representatives didn’t made it thru the first round. I kinda like Leung Mun Yee. She’s cute but too bad she didn’t do well. Maybe next time *grin*
