Had a conversation today about the Olympics. I've basically given up on the male end of the American contribution to the games. Our baseball team couldn't qualify, our basketball team sucks, our gymnists suck, a couple swimmers are okay, but overall they suck. However, our women are rocking the damn house. I told the guys this and they seem to think it's because other countries don't have an emphasis on women's athletics.
I'm not saying I totally disagree with that statement, but it seems an awful discredit to what these women are doing. Our softball team has shut out all but the Australian team. I don't know much about Australia, but something tells me they work just as hard as our women. Yet, we only gave up one point to them. Our women gymnastics (aside from being nearly the only non-anorexic girls otut there as well as the cutest) are medaling in almost everything they do. I could go on about diving, track, and the other events they're bringing home, but it'd just be beating a dead horse.
My point is this: our women rock. You can't take that away from them. It's on film for crying out loud.

I agree with you, the women are awesome. However, I must disagree about the male gymnasts....they were really good, I can't never do any of those things. I hate that this whole Korea/Paul Hamm thing has overshadowed the male gymnast's success...I mean, as a team they got the silver.
