How much can we really expect in the summer Olympics? It's winter here all the bloody time. Do they have a national outcry in Australia when they can't even qualify in "men's ice hockey"? The Argentinians are awful at bobsled -- how much soul searching goes on down there about a lack of bobsled funding?
Like someone said, the Olympics are entertaining for two weeks, then it's back to reality (sorry to any Olympians that might be reading this). Last week I was wondering why some triathlete was getting so much coverage compared to all the others and then I read the article and oh yeah he won a gold medal last time.
The whining gets a little tiresome. "I have to work a real job and I can't swim all day every day it's a disgrace". Umm, boo hoo hoo?
