Olympics Overboard


I love the Olympics. Who doesn't. Watching the Olympics not in your home country is always a challenge because you never get to see your country in anything.....especially when you are watching in the USA.

Two comments.

1. Micheal Phelps is NOT the greatest sportsperson ever. This is such an OTT claim by US commentators. (a) no one cares about swimming (well except me who loves it); (b) there are about a million events you can enter, hence more medal opportunities; (c) Is/Was he really better than Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Martina Navratalova, Pete Sampras, Nadia Comaneci.....

2. Commentators should stop being so harsh to the USA Women's Gymnastic team. Yes they should have won the gold, but they didn't. GET OVER IT and stop making these little girls cry on camera. When was the last time a commentator did anything useful other than ride the coat tails of their meagre sports performance back in the 80s.

I think this is my first sports ramble.
