While we're on the subject of the Olympics what has happened to the lucky country?

BillyVance 34 #2 August 21, 2008 Part of the problem is that a lot of countries' relay teams practice their baton hand-offs a lot. The US teams do not. We've got a history of dropped batons. I would bet that every time we missed the medals in those relay events, was because of a dropped baton or hand-off outside the zone."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirana 0 #17 August 21, 2008 Quotelike Lance Armstrong, genetic freak. I heard them talking about his physical characteristics. Not so much a freak, but more like if you took every physical characteristic, and got to choose within the range found in humans the level or quality of that characteristic; he is what you would have if you decided to buiild a perfect human swimmer. Massive lung capacity, double jointed, webbed digits, etc. Except for the hair. He oughta be bald. But he does have that rubber cap thing like the others. Which makes me wonder; when will the runners get so fast that the only way to go faster will be miniscule details like shaving all their body hair?" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
