If Australia is allowed to select some extra sports for the olympics, why the hell didn't we pick Aussie Rules!?!? I think a prediction of GOLD could have been spot on. |

I think they were offered a choice between Aussie Rules Football and Esky Toss and, well, couldn't decide. Both sounded fun.

Damn that would have been a great way to get rid of all these soccer hooligans in Europe ! You bet Europe would root for the home team to kick some a$$

What's this I hear about an Aussie swimmer with size 17 feet? If the correlation between foot size and other organ dimensions works out for this guy, I'll bet he has quite a few female fans. Dude must have a D-cup speedo. Well enough about that, how about that US boxing team!

Tim G, thats Ian Thorpe you are talking about, and being an Aussie it's a given that you would be 'big' in all dimensions, I should know!! :-) Now, what's this about the US boxing team?

I would like to know what events everyone else considers worth watching.
Didn't Ian win a medal already? I watched the entire opening ceremonies, I really enjoyed it with all the history of Australia. Those people spitting fire reminded me of Gene Simmons from KISS. :-)
US shooter Nancy Johnson wins the first gold in the 10 m air rifle, woohoo. A nation of gun owners ought to be able to shoot. If we could ski then shoot we might do better in the biathlon in the winter games.
The track and field which starts later gets a lot of hype here in the US (only once every 4 years unfortunately). Marion Jones in 5 events, including the 200 m against Australia's Cathy Freeman, plus Maurice Greene and Michael Johnson.
I'm also interested in US softball vs Australia, the only team to beat them in 1996. Big Lisa Fernandez and her 62 mph fastball will face Australia in the first round. Womens softball didn't get much coverage here in 96 and probably won't this year, but we will get lots of womens gymnastics coverage whether the team is good or not.

I consider any event with these nubile young women athletes in their body suits worth watching. Case in point, just got done watching the Womens triatholon, the Swiss babe outdueling the Aussie favorite Michelee Jones with a stirring race to the line. What a gorgeous finish if you know what I mean. Bring on gymnastics and swimming. This type of video used to be censored, enjoy gentlemen.

US women's softball crumbles for first 3 in a row defeat in history! Ouch. Frank, unfortunately, we don't get live coverage here. NBC has everything on tape delay and we only get what they choose to show us. That means a lot of gymnastics. If I was a pedofile I'm sure it would be very interesting. Meanwhile there are many other cool things going on that we only get to check in the newspaper. I hear Canada gets it live, though. That must be nice.
