These swimmers are absolutely amazing. The times that they make are unbelievably difficult, not to mention how smooth their strokes are... :D In a couple of years we'll probably be watching one of the girls I swam with in HS. She took first in the state for such a variety of things (IM, fly, free, breast, relay) and has been training since she was 5 or 6. Seeing these people swim is :eek: /swimmers make me wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Iran refuses to comepete against Israel (Judo) Noble like the raised fist, or disgrace to the games? Judo: Tehran Defiant as Israel Urges Penalty By Alan Baldwin ATHENS (Reuters) - Judo's governing body failed to reach a decision on Monday about punishing Iran for its refusal to compete against Israel at the Athens Olympics. Israel's top judo official had said Iran should be penalized but Tehran remained defiant in the face of accusations that its political boycott was a challenge to Olympic ideals. International Judo Federation spokesman Michel Brousse said an emergency IJF executive board meeting, following an inconclusive session on Sunday, had been postponed because some executive committee members were unable to attend. He could not say when it might now take place. But the IJF would set up a committee, he said, to examine why Iran's world champion Arash Miresmaeili failed to fight Israeli Ehud Vaks in the 66 kg first round on Sunday. Before the meeting, Israeli judo chief Eddy Koaz said: "I think the IJF must stand and say that we cannot involve politics in sport and I think also they must punish them, because it is not the first time that they (Iran) have done this. "We cannot let them just do it because if they do it and nothing happens, other countries will do it again." Tehran said it had no regrets. "Our policy is not to recognize the Zionist regime in any international event ... We cannot accept the presence of anyone in international events under the flag of that regime," government spokesman Abdollah Ramazanzadeh told a news conference. Ramazanzadeh described Miresmaeili's action as voluntary but made clear it expected its competitors to avoid Israelis. "We thank all our athletes who voluntarily follow our policy in international events and consider them our real national champions and heroes of peace," he said. IRAN UNREPENTANT He also charged that Israel, not Iran, was the country that was trampling on the Olympic spirit -- in occupied Palestinian land: "The spirit of peace and friendship suggests that occupation must end and international organizations should help to end it," the government spokesman said. Miresmaeili was ruled out against Vaks after failing to get his weight down. But the athlete and Iranian officials made no bones about their refusal to fight on political grounds. Koaz said it was inconceivable for an athlete like Miresmaeili, who carried the flag for his team at the Olympic opening ceremony on Friday, to be so far off the weight. Brousse underlined the IJF's adherence to the Olympic ideals and abhorrence of any form of discrimination. "Entering the Olympics means sharing the values of the Olympic movement," he said. "We value peace and we cannot tolerate discrimination. This is very important for the future of the IOC, for the future of judo." Over the years there have been cases outside the Olympics of Israelis and Iranians being drawn against each other and the Iranian then failing to turn up for various reasons. Many leading judo figures believed Miresmaeili, present with team officials as a mere spectator on Monday, had wanted to fight. "It's a shocker. I'm sure that the Iranian judo player wants to fight," said U.S. judo coach Bob Berland. Updated on Monday, Aug 16, 2004 12:40 pm EDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AORAone Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 the fact that u.s. basketball, for the most part, is all offense was a horrible idea to begin with. and the fact that they are over pampered millionares, that ALSO dont show up for practice. fucking morons. yeah, china is killing it in gymnastics, and im pretty sure they just won a gold for swimming,(women) setting a new record. also, between watching and sketching, i thought i was an american win another gold in swim? i dunno. anywho. i missed some of the best shit, has any of the martial arts come on? bah, i hoep i didnt miss it, but i probably did knowing my luck. edit, fuck spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLICKCLACKONER Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I heard on the news yesterday that nobody is showing up to the Olympics. It's like dead stadiums for about almost every competition. Also, they might start giving out free tickets to school children. Tesseract - What's your opinion, are the Olympics gonna ruin Greece financially for the next few year?

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Originally posted by JesusMachine Tesseract - What's your opinion, are the Olympics gonna ruin Greece financially for the next few year? Hmm, thats a widely discussed issue here and of course, viewpoints differ a lot. Fact is that the budget for our games is fuckin huge but in my opinion only the security budget was fucked up. Due to Mr.Bush's excellency the greek people will pay security taxes and thats just stupid, but on the other hand..its the way it is. Besides that, lots of stuff where done in Athens for the games but these are things that will be fully functional after the games and in my opinion needed for the city. So on the other hand we have a crazy budget and on the other we built up a gazillion of buildings, transport means, etc etc etc that will benefit our quality of life. In my opinion it was well worth it and i'm happy that we hosted the games, so far its a success and i hope it will move that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
