Olympics - Sprint King

The suits have been complaining about Usain Bolt's showboating. Come on!?!? That is sport and that is sprinting. I loved it and was astounded by the guys ability and if you are that good, you deserve to showboat!!!

Usain Bolt will make me tune into athletics again!!!

Olympics

There has been a lot of coverage of the Olympics, even with the strange time difference. The Great Britain Team have been doing great, well done to one and all, but today real magic happened! Ireland guaranteed themselves some medals!!!

Well done to Kenny Egan and Paddy Barnes! Hopefully they can win their next fights and get a silver or a gold!

And congratulations to Paul Hession who came really close to reaching the 200 metre final. It was a great effort!

Fireworks about fireworks.

I just read about the fireworks at the Olympic ceremony, some of which were fake. Personally that doesn't bother me, i don't feel cheated but I am impressed that the graphic designers put in a camera shake to mimic the event being filmed from a helicopter. Now that is dedicated to deception!!!

Olympics

There have been a lot of protests about the Olympics being in China. I can understand peoples anger but they could direct it a bit better.

Why attack a torch relay when they can simply boycott the sponsers of the Olympics. Radical eh? It all comes down to money and if the sponsers are unhappy, the IOC will be made unhappy!

That might make them think twice about where they hold the games in future.
