cyberfish Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Greece is a nebulous country. Investment in sports is considered when Olympic stadiums transform into malls, and exercise is considered when one gyrates a straw through thick frappe foam. :rolleyes:
athinaios Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Greece:16 Bulgaria: 12 Russia:10 We're first!!!! :LOL: :( :( For those who didn't get it, Greece leads with the most dopped athletes. That's a feat considering the number of the whole "team" sent to Beijing!

Irlandos Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Kaklamanakis finished 8th (outside the medals) and Kostas Douvalidis was eliminated in the semi-finals (he would have had to break the Greek record again to qualify). Let's see how our basketball team does :rolleyes:
Irlandos Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 You want more! :blink: August 20 was not a good day for Greece! Hopefully, tomorrow will be better
dark_horse Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 You want more! :blink: August 20 was not a good day for Greece! Hopefully, tomorrow will be better Greece beat Slovakia in a freindly 2-0, does that count? :LOL:
PAO_OR_DEATH Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 well my friends, NZ has 9 medals......just saying we/they only got 4.1 million people. last olympics the Greek team would have been in a prime spot to win medals, i mean they do live in the host country. this time less atheletes, less chance. How Ironic the country who invented the damn thing are the ones who lead the doping table......
drakos13 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 no offense but who cares about what NZ is doing...number of people isnt important. Look at India...Hell Turkey has more population of Greece in 1 city, and theyve got 1-2 more medals? Greeks doped- every country dopes. Were just getting caught.
BlueStriker Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) How Ironic the country who invented the damn thing are the ones who lead the doping table......I just hope the FYROManians don't get more medals than us. Otherwise, they'll start saying that they invented the Olympics. :LOL: Edited August 22, 2008 by BlueStriker

Nick99 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I watched the 4x100 relay yesterday when the American team dropped the baton. What a heartbreaker, man! I believe it was a semi-final, so not the medal heat, but just as devastating I bet. NBC interviewed Tyson Gay after that, the guy was barely catching his breath at the time. Guys, honestly, ton lypithika. Seems like such a nice chap and it looked like it was all he could do to keep from crying on national television. He answered all the inane questions from the reporter like a good sport, but you could tell the guy wanted to be anywhere but there at that moment. I rarely root for the US track stars, especially when Canada is in the running, but if this guy has any other events coming up, he's my man. I'm telling you, it was a sad sight, nothing seems to be going his way these Olympics. And he showed heaps of class by not ducking the cameras and tough questions.

What a nice, humble man. A complete antithesis from previous American track stars like Maurice Green or Justin Gatlin. He's a great role model and it's a shame he couldn't take gold in at least one event.
