I find myself rooting for the team that plays against LeBron, Kobi and the millionaire whiner's USA basketball:banned:
 
I like that little kid in the gymnastics stuff....16 or so....

when my daughter was into that stuff, I used to call it 'Flip an Imp' Imp is a term for a friendly gnome that bounces around.....

It has been said on the net that her dad, though divorced, is serving in Trashcanistan......

:amazed:

I agree, same with tennis or any other discipline where pros are playing.

I agree. I lost a lot of respect for the sports in which the professionals competed. However, I understand the motivation. Too many other countries were fielding professional "ringers" in the Olympics to run up their medal count.
 
Another sport I ask why is it there.
Horse riding, jumping whatever they call it.....

70+ some years old rider is competing, and altho I respect his knowledge and skills, it mostly depends on the horse...

Other sports use implements (cant find a better word sorry) like bikes, rocks, weights, javelins, etc, each of those implements can be precisely measured and its all about how strong the athlete will be using those things.

In my view the olympics are to measure and test and push the human physical skills, not the one of the animals.
 
Wait a second how about women's beach volley ball. I just noticed they use a........ ball.....lol ;)

They are very athletic :)

I just love when the camera focuses on the signals teamate makes behind her back.

Very technical.....very hard to understand, got to watch it a lot to understand what those signals means.

Pretty easy to decypher. Left hand says, "If you're a guy feeling like this." The right says "Here's what to do with it"

Why did this photo have to have a Vettmod logo?

No No No...it means turn the dizzy that way and then lock it down, thus the logo...

But if the picture was taken at Lars place it means twist the cap that way and down the hatch........
