Olympics anyone?

[MasterKeyX]

Your info has misled me. That's a /fail.

I have a thingy on my tv where if you press the menu button on NBC it tells you who has the most medals and such. China is currently in 2nd place but is still owning with 27 gold medals!

When do the Olympics end?

[HylianHero92]

In a week or so.

[cacturnerules]

Cool. My favorite event is Dream platforming!


JK, it's pole vault. what about you guys?

[HylianHero92]

My favorite event is the one where they see who can hold their breath the longest without dieing.

[cacturnerules]

is that actually an event? it's not in the M&S olympics, and plus i've never heard of it...

[HylianHero92]

Yeah it is. But there's only one medal 'cause everyone else dies....

[Keaton]

HylianHero92, another pointless post like that'll earn you a warning.  I suggest you stay on-topic.

Let's not forget the threat of convo posting...

I actually thought he meant swimming... 

[Fishalicious]

I like the hurdles.

[cacturnerules]

I'm really surprised how many events there really are. like i thaught in sonic & mario @ the olympic games, i thought they had everything. now that i've seen some of the olympics, and discussed it, i realized that there are so many.


i've only been alive for... *counts on fingers*  4 olympics. (counting this one). now i'm kinda into it.


but the X games are so much better...

...like Nintendo would EVER put that much effort into a party game...

Anyways, I figured out the whole 'who's winning' thing. China has the most gold medals, we have the most medals total. Not sure which one is better :/

China is winning i think on like a "points" system, dunno how it woks but e.g. 5 points for a gold, 3 for silver etc. etc.

britain is doing extremely well considering how small we are, we're third on the table (the one that ranks China 1st, USA 2nd) because we have quite a few golds compared to ther countries with a higher overall total.
But we're a rich country so I guess its only expected that we do faily well.

I dread to think how shoddy our 2012 London olympics will look in comparison, they are holding the hockey near where i live.
