Paul Hamm does it.

[protegeV]

Paul Hamm came from WAY back to win Gold in teh Men's Individual All around...I must say that was the most impressive thing Ive ever seen in the olympics. I thought he was cooked after that fall on the vault, but oh my God he pwn3d the high bar...

anyone else see it?

 

[Dreeza]

that was ****** awesome

i missed the high bar though

 

[2K3 MSP]

No, I was too busy watching mixed-doubles BADMITTON!!! (rofl) J/K... I can't believe that's a sport...
Seriosuly though, I haven't caught any good events on tv yet. All I've seen on is like tennis, badmitton, womens shot put, kayaking, stuff like that. Maybe I'm watching at the wrong times(dunno)

 

[protegeV]

OMG, that was the highlight of the entire thing. I mean in the team event he messed up his second release and didnt do the third, but he TOTALLY nailed his routine...It was absolutley amazing and I loved how he was like "no way" when his coaches told him he won

most definitely the wrong times...Ive mostly been watching swimming, gymnastics, and volleyball...havent seen badminton or shotput at all...

I havent seen any of the track&field yet which is my fave...shotput, discus, javelin, high jump, long jump, etc...

i'm the other way around...missed the vault but caught the high bar...when the announcers showed how high of a score he had to get to win even a bronze, i thought he was going to have a tough time, but he pulled it out!

awesome...i was speechless

but it was also awesome when the usa men's relay beat australia by a few thousandths of a second...just great...

 

[slyydrr]

it was incredible.. watch nbc for good events

 

[protegeV]

(werd) does the olympics even coem on any other channels(uhm)

Ive only been watching NBC...

 

[2K3 MSP]

it was incredible.. watch nbc for good events

That makes sense then...I don't get ch.3(NBC) because the way my satellite dish is hooked up <--It runs off ch4, so ch3 is just all static.

 

[jdm_mp5]

Yah, they show it on CNBC and other channels as well. But yeah, Paul Hamm pulled it through!

 

[gapeachsp5]

they've been on usa, msnbc, cnbc, bravo, etc....whatever channels nbc owns, the olympics have been on them

 

[Snacks McGee]

I've been watching swimming...because, quite frankly...that's all they've been showing. The coverage of the Olympics sucks balls. Why would I want to see preliminary rounds of the 100m butterfly, 100m breaststroke, 100m doggypaddle...yadda yadda yadda? I'm sick of swimming coverage as you can tell.

 

[protegeV]

lol, swimming and gymnastics are the main sports they've been showing because the US dominates them...After Sunday they are both pretty much over and coverage will switch over to track&field...

 

[hi-perf]

the korean should have won. a judging error made him lose. if they would have judged correctly, he would have won and hamm would have came in a close 2nd.

oh well theres worse mistakes than this besides costing us a gold medal.

 

[protegeV]

uh, ok...whatever you say(uhm)

 

[protegemp52000]

Olympics=Eh.....

Take out the proffessional athletes and I'll watch again.

 

[hi-perf]

uh, ok...whatever you say(uhm)

ok dont believe me. then believe yahoo.

[osudewd]

Yeah, judges are human too, it happens. But Paul will still keep his gold.

 

[Glowspeedp5]

They need Ghetto Olympics.

Drive by
Purse snatching
Hood basketball
How many kilos you can carry and run..

Yeah, judges are human too, it happens. But Paul will still keep his gold.

(werd) IIRC, one of the Koreans messed up pretty good on one of his excercises, and all the commentators were predicting 9.450-9.500 and he ended up getting over a 9.600 so that definitely helped him. All of the errors eventually even themselves out..
