So it's currently day ten of the Olympics and what has everyone thought so far? Highlights? Lowlights? Anything you guys have loved or hated?
My personal favourites has been seeing Britain in the Rowing Competitions, also did anyone see the Womens Swimming Relay finals? Where the Aussie's smashed the World Record (by six seconds no less) that was put in place by France just earlier before the final?
And oh my God Usain Bolt, I thought Michael Phelps was astounding (he still is) but then I watched this guy STROLL for the Gold Medal towards the end, literally skipping across the finish line, beating the World Record! And he wasn't even on top form, so who knows what time he could've achieved if he actually tried!
Also I thought it was a shame for Canada today at the Horse Jumping, they only had three horses, whereas the US had four, meaning that if the US screwed up in one of the runs, they could discard that score, I've no idea why this was, but to me that just seemed highly unfair.
So how has everyone else been enjoying their respective Olympic Experiances? =)

OH MY!!! The olympics have been A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The swimming is my total favorite!! Michael Phelps has EIGHT GOLD MEDALS!!! I was rooting for him the whole way!! He's a beast!!! I swear. Did you see the (I don't exactly know how to put this) measurements they did on him? Legs of a person 6'1", body of a person 6'8", and a 6'7" armspan, with size 14 feet!! I mean, my god! He was MADE for swimming. And his second to last race that he won by 1/100's of a second?! Wow!! That's all I can say. (And the one relay when the French said they would 'smash' the Americans? Only to come in Silver. Made me Lawl in the face of those cocky French XD.) And I love when the camera goes to his mom, she's a funny lady. Then there's the 41 year old woman, Dara Torris, on our American team. She's an idol for sure.
I've also liked the gymnastics as well. Those girls from the American team are awesome. But those Chinese girls... there's no WAY they're sixteen years of age. I'd believe thirteen. You can't make them look around sixteen no matter how much eyeshadow you put on them. XD
There's so much scandal going on in these Olympics because of China, and the war between Georgia and Russia. There was the lip syncing thing during the opening cerimonies. But it is an amazing Olympics none-the-less. I am very proud of all the countries participating in these 2008 Olympics, they are all very great.

Here's the closing ceremony! If you look around that site you can probably find a lot of the highlights of the Olympics.

Thats final Medal Count though, in terms of how many Golds, Silvers and Bronze's however =P.
China 51G 21S 28B
America 36G 38S 36B
Russia 23G 21S 28B
Britain 19G 13S 15B
Germany 16G 10S 15B
And I don't really believe there is any sort of winning at the Olympic's other than an Athelete winning a medal for themselves, I really enjoy the Olympic crowds as no matter who wins, everyone applauds and cheers, I know thats what we do at home ^^.
