Seems like Im disassociated with the people competing. Not to mention all the doping allegations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havokk Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I always watch the track events, especially the sprints. I'll also be interested in the basketball and boxing events. Other than that, I probably won't be following it too closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliptoniaaa Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 im a citizen of the world....may the best athlete win....i dont care what country they come from....but i must say that gymnastics is fascinating to me....the fact that some of those people can hold there body up with one arm.....that takes some serious strnght, and training.....ive always thought that gymanst both women and men, do something that is truly a talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pookie23 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 what were ur events and times, and what happened? PM if u feel like. I am big into track so I cant wait to watch this. THe olympics are one of my favorite things in sports.I ran everything from the 100 - 800...best was the 800 by far...1:48.06 was my PB at 20 yrs old...took 2nd at NAIA nationals after my sophomore year and took 3rd at the Penn Relays in the 4x800 meter relay. Also, I had only run that event for 2 years, so I was hoping for a big junior year in 1996. But I severly tore my abdomen playing f'n football and it wiped that year out completly. Once senior year came by, our team was in desperate need for sprinters, so I made the sacrifice and went back down to the 100 and 200. I ran with Nike Boston for a year after I graduated, but the wear and tear to my ankles and knees from all the years of running did me in finally. It was still a great experience and I will always cherish the opportunity I had to compete.I'll be rooting damn hard for my friends and the USA!!!

I wasn't nearly as good, but I did the triple/ Long jumps, mainly focused on Triple. Also did the hurdles starting my junior year of high school and second meet of outdoor my senior year, I jumped the 7th hurdle a fraction of a second early in the 400 hurdles and came down and rolled my ankle and fracture that and my pinky toe. I finished the race which was probably dumb but still got third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
