Beijing Olympic Games 2008

Yay Britain won a gold medal in womens cycling.
and do you know why?.......because it was raining! :D
 
lol i like how a bunch of the Chinese team were wearing hyperdunks. Was Kobe even wearing hyperdunks? i didnt see em. Those suckers fell for the Aston Martin advert big time
 
Holy ****
BEIJING – A knife-wielding man. An unprovoked attack. A husband dead and his wife in critical condition. Their daughter, a former U.S. Olympian, at the scene of the crime where the assailant jumps 130 feet to his death and everyone is left to wonder.

Why?

The question remains unanswered in part because details of the attack remain scarce. But a portrait of the victims that has emerged after a series of interviews helps explain why a deep, personal grief has swept across pockets of the United States and rocked the tight-knit world of volleyball.

I know, right? Did you see the interview with the Italian swimmer going on about how they were going to violate the US?

This will almost certainly be construed as a terrorist threat.

Get ready for war with Italy!

Damn Italians. They've been asking for it for too long. What with their pasta and hot women. But on a related note I thought it was the French who said they were going to smash the US. Did Italy talk some smack too?

You do know why they were faked right? Because those "helicopter shots" would be extremely unsafe if they were shot live. Basically from what I've read, the "fake" ones still really happened, they were just enhanced for TV.
