Olympics

[Caid Ivik]

Primarily it was a form of worshipping Zeus. And women were there as well, some priestesses and what we call today "realisation team", but never could compete.

If you have ever been to a concert in a stadium, you know that nothing can get sound that clear....  Plus you can just tell they were miming.

In greek times, the Olympic (Nemean, Pythian and Isthmian) games were about nationalistic pride, and fair play was certainly very important (Zeus Horkion being the presiding deity thereof). Pain and fighting were a part of the games, naturally, but that's still the case today.

Obviously the broadcasting stations were jacked into the output channels.

They wouldn't just put a microphone in the middle of the staduim and have good sound.

congratulations to Mist May and Kerii Walsh on their gold metal in Women's beach volleyball;D

oh and the US softball teams pitcher jenny finch (IU think that's it) has been offered to pose in playboy ;D

I can't understand why volleyball is a olympic sport and not rugby  :O! Now olympics are not a peace party, or faternity party, but a buisnessmen and sponsors party  >:(! Too many money, too many doping, too many glory, not enough sports ! :'(

Congratulations to China...see you 4 years later...;)

Congratulations for the greek, it was a great party ! ;)

"Paris 2012" gogogogogo :D !

Umm...:s it's London 2012...

[nemafakei]

If it says London 2012, allow for it to be 2042 before actually everyone actually arrives. Transport delays... you can't avoid them.

[EWS]

Actually it hasn't been decided yet....

[Dante]

I say Paris should have it. Or Madrid. Was it Madrid? Can't remember. But not London and not Moscow, much as I would like to see the OLympics in Moscow.

PEI 2012 all the way!

Anne dolls 1/2 off.

Paris would better, it's closer to me...
