Apparently the hotels are just like AT shelters. You have to filter the water, stray dogs everywhere, mice and creepy guys coming and going all night.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

That reminds we way too much of my time in China. Along with "ladies of the evening" that could barely speak English waking you up with the few lines they knew.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Actually our team gets bigger every year and we won a whole 3 medals last time.Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -
They're English. I know Yanks can't tell the difference but it's a bigger difference than between Americans and Canadians.

The difference between Americans and Canadians is that Canadians think there's a difference.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -

But there is.
We can beat them at the Commonwealth Games as well.
Although they do better than us at the winter Olympics.Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -

I missed it (time zone issues) but morning tv here is highlighting that the ring that didn't light up was the "North American" one.
Was it an accident???

Sitting here watching our telecast. They just ran a story on our male toboggan entry (the one where they go down feet first at breakneck speed).
He is from Townsville - tropical north Queensland. Lots of rainforest, no ice.
They showed him training on one with wheels going down a twisty bitumen road.
When he makes a mistake he goes off in the gravel and tries to miss the trees.
Gotta admire him for getting there.Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -

Oz, I agree that is an awesome story. If you have not seen it yet, watch Cool Runnings sometime if you get a chance.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Well you know who told Putin things would be different in his second term, so perhaps he is now showing his influence and providing tips on how to do the Olympics.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Seen Cool Runnings several times.
None of their training sillier than our guys.
Same problem.
Our athletes do spend a lot of time in northern hemisphere, but we don't have olympic type toboggan runs etc, so even in our own snow season, only the skiers can really practice here.
And we have no hope of ever getting a curling rink!Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -

Congrats to Torah Bright. I have to ask you OZ, what do you think of rule 40?
Thanks on behalf of the nation BB.
Personally I find Torah a PIA.
Typical of the entitled generation I think.
No idea of what rule 40 is.
I watch most of the Olympics with the sound of, especially the "freestyle" stuff.
I'm one of those that thinks if it can't be measured with a tape measure or stopwatch etc, it shouldn't be in the Olympics.
I consider events that require panels of judges should be part of some other "event".
e.g. the arty fartys.
But I'm just a grumpy old bastard really.Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -
