Predictions for Summer Olympics?

Phelps now has 10 Gold World Record Breaking Medals, unmatched by ANYONE in the world.

We should probably change the name of this thread to "Let's all have sex with Phelps."

Seriously, did anyone see how far he was ahead during the relay last night? The kid is fucking aquaman.

Eh... over the longer distances, yeah, but he's not particularly great at the short stuff. 50m freestyle? Not to deny his greatness and total dominance of the sport over the 200m-400m range...

[whitestazn88]

there is no 50m relay... and he was incredible in his leg of both the 100 and 200m relays

'Scuse me, I meant the 50m freestyle. And he was good in the 100m... but second place just in that lap, without looking at anchor times.

Chinese "women" gymnists take the gold!!!! Or are we going to have to say "girls" instead?


I mean look at those pics! No way some of them are the required age. btw I watched one of the PRC girls on the balance beam and it was terrible, many mistakes, and she scored over 15.00. Give me a break, this is sooooooooooooooooooooooo rigged.

Yeah, I think I saw that girl, and she had some problems. But hey, the US girls just took gold and silver in the individual...

The Times found two online records of official registration lists of Chinese gymnasts that list He’s birthday as Jan. 1, 1994, which would make her 14. A 2007 national registry of Chinese gymnasts — now blocked in China but viewable through Google cache — shows He’s age as “1994.1.1.” Another registration list that is unblocked, dated Jan. 27, 2006, and regarding an “intercity” competition in Chengdu, China, also lists He’s birthday as Jan. 1, 1994. That date differs by two years from the birth date of Jan. 1, 1992, listed on He’s passport, which was issued Feb. 14, 2008.

...

The other gymnast, Jiang, is listed on her passport — issued March 2, 2006 — as having been born on Nov. 1, 1991, which would make her 16 and thus eligible to compete at the Beijing Games. A different birth date, indicating Jiang is not yet 15, appears on a list of junior competitors from the Zhejiang Province sports administration. The list of athletes includes national identification card numbers into which birth dates are embedded. Jiang’s national card number as it appears on this list shows her birth date as Oct. 1, 1993, which indicates that she will turn 15 in the fall, and would thus be ineligible to compete in the Beijing Games.

...

“We heard these rumors, and we immediately wrote to the Chinese gymnastics federation” about He, said André Gueisbuhler, the secretary general of the international federation. “They immediately sent a copy of the passport, showing the age, and everything is O.K. That’s all we can check.”

...

But it is not likely that anyone could prove that the Chinese gymnasts are under age, Karolyi said. “It’s literally impossible,” he said. “The paperwork is changed just too good. In a country like that, they’re experts at it. Nothing new.”

They are most likely underage, but you can't prove it.
