Hey, I didn't read all the posts in this thread yet, but do any of you guys know somewhere where you can rewatch say like table tennis matches? and not just the highlights, I mean the whole match! I'm asking cause I missed it on TV in my country today (it airs like 3am in the morning...), and sadly sweden doesn't offer any matches but their own for replay on the internet, youtube seems to be struck by CBC taking the licenses so no luck there either.... -_____-
Only way i can think of is to download the clip u missed, try doing a torrent search search, there loads out there atm
sadly enough, although I have seen alot of torrents from the olympics, I have not been able to find a single one from the table tennis...
still can't believe china didn't sweep all 8 of the diving medals, such a shame really :| Oh well the australian will now be a national hero for the next 4 years b/c he had the power to stop the Chinese from sweeping all 8 medals in diving.
In terms of gold medal, that's for sure (currently by 15 medals). But overall medal count the US remains in the lead (currently by 11 medals). Ralph
but rele gold medals count more and even if u add up the total through value with 2 silvers making one gold and 3 bronzes making a gold then china still win.
You know where this is heading right? Going into the 2008 Olympics, the US holds the world cumulative record of 973 golds (inclusive of winter games). For the Summer Olympics games, the cumulative record for golds are: 1. United Sates of America- 2188 medals (895 Gold, 691 Silver 602 Bronze) 2. USSR- 1010 medals(395 Gold, 319 Silver 296 Bronze) 3. Great Britain- 668 medals(189 Gold, 242 Silver 237 Bronze) 4. France- 595 medals. (183 Gold, 196 Silver 216 Bronze) 5. Italy- 493 medals (182 Gold, 147 Silver 164 Bronze) 6. Hungary- 449 medals (156 Gold, 136 Silver 157 Bronze) 7. East Germany- 409 medals. (153 Gold, 129 Silver 127 Bronze) 8. West Germany- 489 medals. (148 Gold, 153 Silver 188 Bronze) 9. Sweden- 470 medals. (142 Gold, 155 Silver 173 Bronze) 10. Australia- 386 medals. (117 Gold, 112 Silver 147 Bronze) Res Ispa Loquitur Ralph
http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml What's amazing to me is, that a little tiny Island nation of Cuba can walk off with 24 total medals. That's superb -clapclap Ralph
And the US begins Olympic competition when it first began in 1896 with 10 nations. China, PRC that is, joined the Olympic in 1984 and still currently miles behind of US in terms of GDP. And as a FYI, the 1904 Olympic is one of the most embarrassing in the history of the Olympic in which the US won 78 golds, 239 medals overall, and it lead to the creation of the 1906 Intercalated Game. Congrat to China getting 51 golds, most since the former Soviet Union obtained 55 golds in 1988. 51, 100 is a nice achievement. -clapclap Can anyone find any major US media outlet beside Google (I <3 Google btw) that rank by gold medals tally instead of total medal tally, which is dumb.
chinaaaaaaaaaaaAAA 51 GOLD medals babe...a new record. AWESOME OLYMPIC GAME!! It makes me didn't read my summer reading...dang but, LOVE LOVE LOVE this Beijing Olympic =] :box: beat US on gold medals, PROUD
lol fucking ending was so boring, well i mean the middle part because i was watching it on NBC, and they kept cutting to commerical every 5minutes for 6minutes of commerical, the London bus crap was such a waste of time, zZZzz i remember 4 years back, when china had a good performance -_- in the end, i didn't do my h.w. cause of the olympics BLAH
exactly my thoughts from the winner and losers article http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/be...ympicswinnerslosers082408&prov=yhoo&type=lgns and the rest of the world knows a thousand silvers don't make a gold or a diamond for an example
proud Chinese man, 51 golds ^_^, lets break USA's gold of 83 in London in 2012 ^_^ and yeh in your face US, Gymnast are 16+...no proof...salted ^_^
