Pain could also be defined as getting hit in the face with a hockey stick or against the ankle.

Every sport has its dangers, that's what makes it fun! Let's see what happens in the XC mountain biking; much the same idea but with added rough terrain!

Sport isn't safe? I could have told you that! Erm, what is the point of this topic anyway? Seriously. Are you asking a question or what?

For the record, the woman your describing, happens to be Dutch. And she won a GOLD MEDAL today Women Individual time trial Cycling

Her fourth gold medal in 2 Olympics. And she can win another one She was really mad at herself for falling down, that she decided to win this race

Now that's a "Dramatic Olympia"!

Anyone see the weightlifting? The bits I saw were a bloody shambles!
The British guy got messed around by his own coach and ended up with just 7 seconds within which to make his first lift. It made me grimace as he jumped straight to it without warming up and completely put his back out. He tried again, made it worse and got stretchered off!
Then they showed us the Albanian lifter, a 16 year old boy! I really think there should be some sort of rules against training children in a sport like weightlifting. It will seriously affect a child's growth.
Anyway, the poor guy buggered up his ankle completely while dropping low to push the weights over his head. He could only shuffle off after.

Anyone see the womans shotput? or I think thats the english., those woman just dont look good, but some of them are very very tall

Women? I thought that was the men's final

AND, they passed the drugs testing..... AMAZONIA!!

I was beginning to wonder as well

bah, the whole thing's a farce now. I'm not bothering to watch it.

I will say this much, though, and I am not talking about your ever vivacious/curvacious sex kittens or anything but did anyone notice that the women's beach volleyball competition seemed to involve some rather, er, impractically small uniforms? So. Is it a sport or is it just entertainment?

Kind of made for some difficulties on those camera angles, it seems.

<Edit>

And as far as those two Greek track stars are concerned.... was this like a well known secret or something? The way it was treated over here, it seemed like the scandal of all scandals.

Indy havent seen the voleyball yet, but I do know the womans hockey are wearing pretty short dresses, those are really not comfortable, they make you look really nice and everything, but its not fun wearing it, for me in anyways

I don't watch the Olympics, but I am not surprised Indy. Who do you think watches that particular "sport"? Other women? Hmm, some probably do now that I think about it...

interesting, tho not surprising stats I heard the other day, womans beach volleyball, usually has the most spectators [sarcasm I wonder why[/sarcasm
On another note, anyone seen the mens hockey South Africa vs Netherlands?
they say two of the Nl goeals was contorversial, anyone see this?
