This is the best thing I've seen at the Olympics and it's just an exhibition lol

I hope that's the link.  If not, go to the yahoo7 olympic site and go to videos and look for video entitled terrific tumbling  :thumbsup
They showed some of last night on Ch 7. That team of Russian rhythmic gymnists were just amazingly freakish  :o.

The most inspiring moment for me so far was that German weightlifter whose wife had died only about 9 months ago in a car accident. It ended up that he had to lift 10kg more than he had ever lifted before in his life to win the gold on his third and the last lift of the night. This was after he had put down his second lift which was 20kg less than his third. He amazingly did it and won before collapsing over the top of the weights on the floor in tears. It tugged at the heartstrings watching it that's for sure. Shear guts and inner strength  :clapping.

I was over it after the opening ceremony lol
If I ever hear anyone ask about Stephanie Rice and Sullivan breaking up again, I'll scream
I can see the headlines when they return:  Was the break up the reason for Sullivan being a "LOSER" lol
I won't miss McAveney say "face like a lion, heart of an angel" or something like that  :lol

OVER IT

jealousy is a curse MOI. I suppose you can only be bitter, when you look at how stunning she is.
I for one is very happy to wake up and see Rice in the papers every day of the week.

Bruce can say what he likes about her as far as im concerned.

You're an idiot, Daniel.
Stephanie is a stunner
Bruce is the idiot.
As per usual you completely miss the point.  But that's no great surprise!

Wouldnt look twice at Stephanie Rice in a pub, club or walking down the street.

But yes, compared to Schipper or Trickett she is a beauty.

Well that's understandable....considering you're close to illiterate and pictures would be your main
source of communication with a distant society.
