Olympic Thread Damn it

[vandeleur]

I just read something on it , thought someone on here had posted a link but can't find it ..
What I got from the article is that the blades in no way replace any of the bodies abilities , they try to duplicate some of the bio mechanics of the the legs but they aren't better .

Question: Does the double amputee that has artificial composite spring legs have a unfair advantage in the Track and Field. ?

I am not saying anything bad here, but lets discuss next year when a Olympic athlete has a rocket attatched to his ass.

I am amazed at the forward movements we have made in treating injured peoples ailments, but soon I bet artificial limbs may make a unfair advantage against, athletes who don't use mechanical support..

Are artificial limbs like steroids..?

Is it BIGOTRY if they are not allowed to compete with any augmentation available ?

I am attempting to ask a honest question, but more than likely sound like some kind of Cunt.

discuss..

Call me a commie.....but I'm listening to Lithuania hang with the U.S. in men's basketball right now......hope the spoiled, prima donna men's team loses. Nice to see Carmelo Anthony playing his ass off....too bad he doesn't do that for the Knicks.

Anyone else wish the Williams sisters would take thier rackets and go home and let the other kids play...lol ?

It is like Serena is sitting in a lounge chair smoking a cigg and stealing Sharapovas lunch money..lol

[So this is love]

The track and field is the thing to watch for this weekend...with the blade runner

If Sharaprova spent more time on tennis rather than on making a sound like a piglet is being inserted into her anus she might actually win a fucking game never mind a set...

Check the Murray swingometer see if it beats 97% if he wins .
I heard if he wins he has Geordie grand parents ;-)

Federer vs Murray will be interesting

I hope he destroys the Nazi gold hoarding clock making vain cunt.

I think that's wishiful thinking. People forget just how damn good Sampras was.

With all due respect you are completely wrong and I am totally correct.

Sampras never got beyond the semi final of the French in his whole career. He only ever won 2 Australian titles.

So in the Sampras 10 years at the top that's 18 Grand Slam titles that Murray could have won if he had been his contemporary.

In other news, Poon doesn't get the semi. :D









In the women's 50M freestyle Canada's Victoria Poon finished dead last.

Yeah, he finally got back in his Beijing form (or close to it) these last few races. I don't know what the deal was, but he looked absolutely terrible in that first race.

My theory is that he didn't start training long enough before the games, tried to cram it all in and was overtrained at the start of the Olympics. Now he is starting to hit his stride and I guess when that happens no human can swim with him. That gold he won today was a good example. Last off the platform, seventh at the turn, made a bad turn and then proceeded to blow everybody out of the fucking water in the last fifty meters.
