Ok, just dont become stalker
For me also the winner would be who gets more fun from the games (after China, China is reall winner and some coutnries, forbidden to mention i negative context, are loosers )
I think among women volleyball players there is much collectivity and I dont know, it seems like that, women are most times better than men in some qualities, more patient, tolerant etc
What irritates me heavily around sports that it is given much more attention (media, financial etc) than it objectively deserves. In some countries more so than others. Also, what irritates me next about it, are totally stupid statements of people around sports (journalists, players themselves, coaches, audience). Sometime they talk about so simple things like they are, I dont know, important philosophical questions or something of outmost importance in our lives.
I mean, retirement system shattered, healthcare on low levels, education not good, children go to poor schools, older folk die in bad retirement homes without enough care, and there is more talk about sport than all of these areas together.
For me thats more than stupid.
I donāt see evidences that Phelps is taking any advantage, in fact I find sad he was punished for smoking like a monkey, as it does not improve at all how good he swims etc, only a bad example for kids, and it is up to him to smoke whatever he wants if it makes him happy :bigsmile:
Says the guy who was whining about an American suspecting a Chinese athlete was doping?
Now Iām starting to think youāre just trying to stir the pot here
Iām not a big Phelps fan, but look at the guy. Heās biologically designed for swimming. He has nearly the perfect attributes, which certainly gives him an advantage over most.
Not that I dislike Olympoics. I like to watch it, especially because there are sports on it which are usually not on TV.
Here in Europe usually everything is about football (soccer), in newspapers TV etc, and Im, personally, full of it.
I enjoy watching gymnastics for example, it can be really exciting. But as a person who often thinks, when watching a movie for example, hot it was made, and how ārealā is it, during gymnastics program I also sometimes think about how these people came to that level of skill and was that process positive for them, in total, as human beings.
