I thought this was a great Olympics, the coverage and access to all the sports was outstanding...I got to see virtually every event or venue I wanted to watch. It is an incredible production that...

1. Women's weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria...... I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage commentator: "This is a really...

Remember kids they don't call it 'dope' for nothing. Who really cares about pot? Is it any more dangerous than drinking?

Let me put this disclaimer out there, I don't like pot and I even hate...

OK I'm sold!!! All bow to the great Jim Thorpe! :D I wonder if there will ever be another in modern athletics.

She is impressive!!! The only person I've ever heard of who medaled in both winter and summer games.

Jim Thorpe definitely has to be under consideration, an Olympic legend. If I recall a he played college football too?

@Lucas, you are very correct in terms of the level of competition thats what...

Never heard of this guy and that is amazing. I'll entertain other arguments for best Olympian...not Americans only.

Are you talking about the best athlete or best Olympian? I think you have to go on what one has achieved as opposed to speculating on what they could or couldn't have done in some other sport. He...

That's hilarious...I saw that on the news last night, apparently MMA and drugs do mix. It's either pot or the other 'dope' for the drug of choice.

That US women's soccer match vs Canada is one of the best I've ever seen.

I think I'm in love with Jessica Ennis, the British Heptathlete. I could watch her bum all day!
...

Whatever happened to the 'sweet science'? Even amateur and Olympic boxing is being destroyed. Japanese boxer dominates Azerbaijan fighter knocking him down some 6 times only to have fight awarded...

I continue to be impressed by the South Koreans...they've been great in the martial events, soccer, and weight lifting...but check out this horrific elbow injury...if you weigh 170lbs snatching...

See what you've been missing Gene

Sorry, the Chinese state...under the older Communist Mao regime.

I'm not so sure the Gov't is the big bad guy here...I think probably lots of parents would want their kids in these sports camps. It happens here in the USA, parents send their kids across country...

The funnest event looks like the white water canoeing...not sure how it ever became an Olympic event. The Brits just won Gold and a Silver...the place went nuts.

Its called Cable or DSL Gene...they have about 4-5 channels of coverage going throughout the day.

This American kid Brady Ellison was oustanding...US men have won the silver in team competition and Ellison has a shot at gold in the individual.

I'm surprised that some other cultures with a long...

As per our previous diatribe on Indian Athleticism, I present this:

A country of 1.2 billion people, one bronze medal in Men's air rifle accurate to 30ft...bravo India :D



Mongolia...

Check out this photo of American Judoka Travis Stevens in his battle against the despised Germans!

Talk about being a warrior...

The gear on the bows used in Archery is ridiculous...all they're missing is a sight reticule and a laser range finder.

New event for 2016, the Hopolite Heptathlon:

1) Archery
2)Javelin...

Wasn't it a demonstration sport in the Beijing games? Or was that Wushu? I was just thinking it would be a great addition meself...you could get K1 and Muay Thai fighters as well...MMA is so huge...

Most of the fighting sports have been defanged, turned into two hand/foot touch...I can't stand to watch the boxing, the scoring system is terrible...although wrestling and judo are still fun to...

Perhaps you are mistaken...
