Well, the olympics start in a month and I don't see a thread that isn't about the actual competitions... So, let the discussion begin!

USA! USA!

(also lets hope the images work this time...)

you cant teach style, its completely individual. you are wrong, everyone else is right. thats it.

you can teach technique, but thats completely different.

yeah i guess style is more of a toss up but i feel everyone develops their own style with enough time spent on skis. i guess you develop it more than you learn it, if you want to get technical about word choice. you'd have to think that they skills they learn from vaulting and the tumbling on floor exercise would translate pretty well to hitting jumps

Well fuck, either Federer stops with the stupid mistakes and capitalizes on his break points or this match is never going to end.

There was no reason for that match to be so close or so long. Was not impressed with Federer's play.

was that in the gymnastics? like, when the russian girl found out she got silver, she started crying. like.. wtf, you should be happy.. its something i dont understand about it, there's such a pursuit of absolute perfection that it seems to suck the life out of it. as you said, the black girl looked like she was having fun which probably worked in her favour
