If anyone has been following the Olympic games and/or care to discuss anything..
I don't really get to watch much of them at all, but I have tried to follow some of what's gone on as best as I could, and there are a couple of things that have pissed me off.
Firstly, the narrators/commentators that cover them on TV in the U.S. are a gang of arrogant know-it-all asshats: I'm watching events like gymnastics and diving ..amazed at the things these athletes can do, and these putas dwell on every possible negative thing ..they judge, pick-on, and criticize left and right, for things that I couldn't possibly even begin to notice. "Oh, that's going to be another deduction there.. her hands were 2 millimeters off to the side" "No. No. That score was TOO high" I'm sick of hearing comments like these over and over and over in the arrogant manner that they do, and many times while I'm saying "Wow that was fucking cool!"
..Shut the fuck up, I'd like to see you go over there and try to do ONE tumble!
Just the tone in which they speak a lot of times makes me want to give them a good flogging to the face with a month-old philly-cheese sandwich on moldy whole wheat bread for a half hour or so.
Another thing that bothers me: The man who won(wins) the final 100m dash gets the gold and is titled 'The world's fastest man'..
(In these Olympics the gold medalist's time for that final was 9.8something seconds)
Fair enough that he wins that race and gets the gold and all.. but how can you keep calling him 'The world's fastest man' when somebody else ran those same 100ms in 9.5 seconds in the semifinal (right there, just a half-hour before the final!)
A third: The individual-event 'Still rings' (men's gymnastics) final was bullshit. The judges gave the man who went first a certain score, it happened to be a pretty high score, so then for the men that went afterwards (even if they did as good or better) the judges wouldn't dare give a higher score than that. They were all excellent, they really were; but that one Bulgarian dude quite clearly performed better than the others, and he should've won the gold. That poor dude got shafted blatantly by the judges. I have no problem with the one who won gold, he was excellent.. but not as good as the Bulgarian.
EDIT: Goddamn that is one long post.

, i didn't see the one yesterday on the rings cause i was away all day, but i got a good description from friends and they say the same as you.
luckily the speakers here are quite good and funny
Is it Spanish that is a quickspoken language or Swedish that's a slowspoken one? I'm always amazed at which razortongues Spanish speaking people must have... 
it's like watching a comic movie
)
ahem). Also all women's shooting stuff was interesting, I remember being happy when that young Ukrainian girl won the pistol competition.
