2004 Olympics

[G-O-D]

Personally, I'm looking forward to it, and I hope it will be a success

I think the Olympics will be a suceess. There is always the looming threat of Terrorism but if that dosen't happen I think the games will be fine.

With only 1/3 of the tickets sold, this olympics has the potential to be the worst in terms of making money. That is pretty sad, but I understand why.

Look the area isn't fully prepared for the Olympics and that could be the problem behind the slow ticket sales. Once all the arenas and stadiums are fully operational, ticket sales go up to the day before the olympics. Sad how the olympics have gone downhill from 1996.

GO NAGATA!!! WIN THE GOLD FOR JAPAN!!

They've gone downhill since 1996? Why was the one held in Sydney in 2000 dubbed the best and most successful in history? Or, are you referring to the actual sports themselves?

I can't wait for the Olympics, specifically the basketball. Go New Zealand!

I think the only thing that will go wrong will be New Zealand's medal tally.

[maddog]

Meh Basketball, Baseball and Wrestling is the only thing worth watching in the summer..

Teh Wintah is where it's at! Curling owns..

all i know is after all the good talk of LeBron, he, Iverson & Stoudamire, all were late to a meeting, and are not playing today in a "Warm-up" game.

[Agent Risktaker]

I'm watching USA against Puerto Rico. What is this, a warmup match or the real thing? I haven't heard shit about the Olympics in like a month.

pre-olympic tour

[Herr Matzat]

German Wemons team is leading 2-0 against China in the iolympics wemons footbal tournament

i had no idea the show already started ?!

[lanky316]

The footballs started a week earlier. I guess they figured they need longer rests then they normally would :\

[sahyder1]

someone turn this into "The Official Olympics Thread"

The Olympics always have a couple of events that start up before the opening ceremonies.

[sahyder1]

The Olympics haven't even officially begun and we already have our first major upset. The Iraqi soccer team beat Portugal 4-2 in what is a HUGE upset (or fix) in the soccer world. The game definitely wasn't pretty at all as both teams were sloppy but it was a 4-2 win for the underdogs anyways. Portugal has an uphill battle in their remaining two games as 5 of their guys had yellow cards today.

Someone change the name of this thread to make it the official Olympics thread

I have ZERO interest in the Olympics....I already forgot they were going to happen.

I'm not gonna change the title. If anyone makes an official topic without first looking into this one, they deserve a warning for being a fucktard.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

I actually heard and see Iraq were a pretty good team so I wouldn't so a HUGE upset. Still yeah kind off an upset. I only watch the running parts of the olympics anyway so meh.

So Iraq win when they haven't got the threat of their soles of their feet being burnt.

Bah! Can someone tell me where the last winter olympics were held? (2 Years ago)

I know that the last SUMMER olympics were held in Sydney (2000) and that the winter olympics were held in Nagano. But I can't think of where the last winter's were. I know it was somewhere in the US, because Bush was there, and Iraq wasn't.

[ADG]

I think the last Winter Olympics were in Salt Lake City.

[sirdavinator]

Yeah, it was in Salt Lake City.

Actually, these matches are only the preliminaries. I don't really watch the Olympics anyway, so I don't care either way.
