    Posted: 19 August 2008 at 10:08am
So the other day I decided to venture out of my cave, and tune into the Olympics. My half-heartedness quickly dissipated once the Pakistani hockey team started to do some good on the field! (coupl'o days ago) (Zeeshan and Saqlain bieng amongst my favourites) So pumped up was I, that I decided to watch the gymnasts as well, so currently the only knowledge I have  of the Olympics is that of Yang Wei, and ofcourse Michael Phelps, we heard of him, even in my cave :p 
 
But no sooner had I shown a little interest in the game, My sister announced today that Pakistan lost the match with Netherlands . . .  hence is out.Ermm There goes the olympic dream!
 
Hence I'll be returning to my cave now Embarrassed

Salam/Peace,

Poor Canada, the only "big" country that doesn't get even one medal. Maybe they are too busy play with polar bears so forgot to practice... he..he..he..
Salam/Peace,

well, Japan got another goal so they did rise above 1 goal ;-) but usa clearly won, 4:2
 
Aparently in hockey the aussie team had plently of chances in the first half that they didn't take so this contributed the team in failing to go the next round.
 
 
Watched the women's triathlon earlier today, in parts I got ready for work. Australia won, YAY!!!
 
 
Australia was third on the telly but dropped to 4th with 11 gold, Britian sneaked into third somewhere there with 12 gold.
 
 
off to bed, another 2:30am nighter, lol!

USA has just scored their 3 goal in the soccor. 19 minutes left of the game, will japan rise above 1 goal??
 
 
 
p.s: usa has 4 goals now, looks like japan has lost unless some miracle happens in 2 minutes.
 
Hockey it was a draw 2:2 but china goes thru to the next leve, didn't get that.

This might be a political statement , not meant to be - I worry about the children that from a young age are separated from their familes to train, when they don't win.  Who do they fall back on?  Who shows them unconditional love of a parent?
 
Because of this I really wanted the Chinese team to win the team gold in gymnastics.
 
The Chinese can be very proud of the great Olympics they have put on.
 
Phelps in amazing!!
 
The Chinese are persecuting the Tibetans while staging these great Olympics.
