BMX is retarded. Should never have been an Olympic sport.

Diving is soooo stupid. Don't these people know, it's supposed to be whoever makes the biggest splash wins!
Lopez, who appeared on "Good Morning America" Aug. 18 to discuss her preparations for the Malibu Triathlon, was overheard saying after the segment that she ?couldn?t understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer,? according to a GMA source. ?She couldn?t come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner Michael) Phelps? name, and then she yammered on about how she was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how that was the big story right now, not ?the swimmer.? ?
Just a note to the jaded (no names *cough*vambeer*cough*), whether or not the athletes are all cheating, one thing that's for sure is that the technology of the olympics gets better and better every cycle. It's not huge, but changes to the swimsuits in swimming, the material the track's made of, etc, does allow the athletes to go that little bit faster (re: break records) than older less scientifically made suits/arenas. It's like one guys sets a time sprinting on loose gravel, then another guy who's evenly matched comes along on tightly packed gravel (...smaller rocks mebbe? I dunno) and goes just that little bit faster with the help of a better surface.
In short: Seriously! Come on!

Who cares about Michael Phelps? Jennifer Lopez is training for a triathalon!

Even more LMAO: race walking.
I'm not that impressed with him either. How many other athletes get to compete in that many different events? How many even get to compete in 4?
Not that many.
I mean OMFG he can swim a fixed distance really fast! Big whoop.
That said I've been ignoring the Olympics unless Womens Volley Ball is on, even then I watch it only if I catch it. but I really don't pay attention to the Olympics, other than women's beach volleyball if it is on.
My wife is glued to the TV (or computer) for it though and she got mad at me that I'd rather watch "The Terminator" or "Judge Dredd" On Demand than watch Mike Phelps win another freaking medal, I told her I don't care and that a horrible Sty Stallone movie is more entertaining to me than watching a freak of nature swim.
