Olympics Withdrawal

Interesting.....


USA gets silver:




Russia gets silver:




Chinese get silver:




British get bronze:

All depends on expectations. I can't read minds but the two US women hurdlers that took Silver and Bronze were very happy. I think it had more that they got medals and Lolo came in fourth.
No Olympic withdrawals going on at our place. Most of the Summer Olympic sports are ones that I wouldn't pay any attention to at any other point in time anyway.
But on the lighter side, here's a list of some of the comments made on air during NBC coverage during the games. Some funny stuff!!

Comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them ......... Oh my God, what have I just said?"


5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

Softball wasn't in the 2012 Olympics

Actually, I thought softball was still in and it was baseball that was not? I didn't watch the whole thing, so I could be wrong

add to the list the announcers for rhythmic gymnastics who kept using words like 'sport' and 'athlete'
