I'm enjoying them more than I usually do, for some reason. It's fun to watch sports that no one would EVER broadcast, normally speaking. 
Speaking about the Aussies, wtf are they on?! Every time I turn on a tv I see an Oz man/woman winning a medal, or getting close. Like, today I saw a track rider (I think it was Shaun) breaking te olympic record and an Oz woman win gold. And a day or two ago I saw their basketballteam put up a good fight against the US, especially the blonde guard (Heal) was great. I mean, i though there lived only 20 million ppl in Australia.  Did they bring half the country along or something?! lol
belgium is 38th on the medal tables, with two bronze medals. Wahey. With Henin reaching the tennis finals there will be a gold/silver added to that tho. Was a great match today, too...coming back from 5-1 to win the third set, wow.

Henin will definately win a medal for you guys  she's awesome!
lol no ox, we didn't bring half the country along! We have the second largest team behind America though, so that is sort of cool. We're sitting at 4th on the medal tally at the moment. We probably won't get much higher because the swimming is pretty much over, and we have very few stars in track & field events.

Haha, you know him personally? that's cool  Kim Gevaert made it into the women's 200m finals, she's running later today..GO KIM!! Pretty girl too, rare between all those muscled sprinting monsters. Also, I found her home phone number and email adress online...Belgium and protecting athletes, not a good combo. lol.
P.S. no, I'm not stalking here...I just looked for "Kim Gevaert" and first hit was a bio page with number and email  hehe

No, I don't know him personally, he's an older memeber. I have seen him once but that's all.
We're doing well with hockey this week! First the women's team beats the Aussies (sorry suga), and now the male team has kicked Germany's ass! So that's two more gold or silver medals to add to the list.

Olympics are nearly over, and Belgium has a whopping THREE medals!! 2 bronze and one gold one, heh. We ROCK. lol
No, but some good stuff on tv last week as well...all the running, the basketball, volleyball, polevaulting..very cool. Not to mention the track cycling, which supercedes coolness. It's almost over, and I'm gonna miss it, watching the daily summaries late at night.

Yeah, I'm gonna miss the olympics too.

lol...I read a comparative list somewhere...number of medals compared to population. I think the Bahames scored best, followed by Australia.
Belgium was pretty ok, apparently...only just behind the US, w00t!
