I’d hoped to post regular stuff on the Olympics but haven’t found time thus far. So, here’s a quick update on what I’m paying attention to.
There’s no way that the entire Chinese gymnastics team was actually of age to compete. A blogger has now dug up official state documents on official state websites confirming that. Personally I don’t think there should be any age limits, but they’re there, and the competing nations should adhere to it.
I watched a bit of the swimming events. Michael Phelps is off the fucking chain! There’s not much I can add to what’s already been said.
Track & Field has finally started, so I’ll be paying more attention from here on out. The excitement so far has come from Usain Bolt, setting a world record in both the 100M and 200M, and doing them easily. Absolutely amazing. This guy is going to be chipping away at his own world records for a few years.
