Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 First of all, any Americans should ignore this, but the Commonwealth Games are underway from Manchester. 1 Gold & 1 Silver for Canada before the Games were officially opened. What did everyone think of the Opening Ceremonies? Personally, I felt that it was much better than the last few Olympics openers.
Guest The Vanilla Midget Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 i missed it, though i will prolly burn the midnight oil and watch a few events. 1 gold and 1 bronze, could australia go nuts like 4 years ago in KL? also, the hypocrisy of the australian sporting authorities was again highlighted by the reaction to the positive drug test by that shooter.
Guest starvenger Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 I've only been keeping up by reading the 'net since I'm in Houston now. I was reading about Igali being in a new weight class... what's that aboat?

Guest treble charged Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 Are those the only medals that were given out before the Opening Ceremonies? If so, a 3 way tie for first place.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 Yeah those were. No other medals have been given out yet. They are just doing prelims right now.

Guest starvenger Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 >Solo Synchronized Swimming There's an oxymoron for ya. Can't they just call it "figure swimming" or something?
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 I think they should just can it, like they did in the Summer Olympics.

Guest Phr33k Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 I watched that press conference with the Canadian who got busted with a banned substance in his blood. That was seriously one of the saddest things I've ever seen. BTW, he had 3.06 mg of the stuff in his blood, and the max allowed is 2. For comparison, Canadian field hockey player Steve Vezina was caught at the last Games with the same stuff, except he had 16 mg. That's a fuckin' shame, right there. If it was in the doctor-prescribed supplements he was taking, then I demand to know how the fuck this quack got his license.
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 There's still no reason to cry like a baby! He's still got the B test and if he is as innocent as he says, it should be clear. So far, the medals race is a three between England, Canada, and Australia, pretty much as predicted.
Guest Marshall Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 Manchester is the shittiest place on earth
