What were Spitz's times? I heard he wouldn't have made the team with them. If that's true -- has the technology or shaving excess hair improved times that much in 20 years. Can you imagine a swimmer today with Spitz's mustache?
Lay off Bella -- after all he has to go home every night and fuck Martha. No wife should look that much like her husband.
Badminton actually makes table tennis look tough. It's like someone keeps hitting the slo-motion button after they hit the shuttlecock (which is another problem). And they're getting rid of softball for this.
Have you seen the archery equipment. It's like a cross bow on steroids.
The thunder thighs on the Canadian synchronized diving girl were unbelievable. I turned on the tv and my first thought was "what is the wrestling team doing on the diving platform". But I gotta admit in the back of my mind I was thinking - "what would death be like being squeezed by those fucking drumsticks".

Swimmers from 4 years ago wouldn't make the finals with their winning times. I was in full swim team mode in "72. Everyone would shave for big meets. Believe it or not, shaving always made you faster. Spitz was so good, he did not have to. Just shaving his armpits would cut minutes off his times. Technology and training has made a difference. Way back when, swimmers were big at 180 pounds. The guys in the pool now are behemoths. Nobody did much weight training then either. Plus, the new suits have changed the drag issues. Last thing is that some of the rules have changed regarding how the strokes are done. You didn't used to get to swim so far under water as they do now and the backstroke turns are real different. Breast stroke now lets you dunk your head underwater and allows your hands to come out of the water which makes that stroke way faster. Good point on Bella. People look like their dogs after awhile. Do you think this happens with husband and wife? Maybe Bella thinks he is a wild and crazy guy that looks good in the mirror. Maybe he just wanted to fuck himself.My first knee surgery was a result of badminton. No comment. Are you sure you like team games where the final score is 1-0? (Soccer?) Or do you just like the beefy girl look as opposed to Burner who seems to like the pre-puberesent gymnasts... I suggest women's beach=2 0volleyball as a comprimise. I was involved with archery at this level and know too much technically to comment without being killed by you all.Didn't see the diver but my guess is quick and painful.

See... now we are blogging. Theoretically each thread should have it's own identity with topics specific to that thread such as "Spitz Times" then "Bella and Marta" etc and each comment gets posted under the correct thread.

In other words this off topic post of mine should have it's own thread.
