Fighto!
Good to hear one athlete had some sense of morality.

I believe the Crescent and Star are the symbols of the Turkish national flag.

China is using the Olympics for propaganda purposes so just stop watching it unless your cousin is a snowboarder in the event. Agree with Thomas, the Winter Olympics are boring anyway. Curling? Any sport using a broom is suspect.

Gambare Nippon:
Hang on, I thought you were on a boycott of the Olympics. You seem very interested judging from all your comments. Or is this like an American 'diplomatic boycott', where you say one thing and do another?

Anyone making fun of curling should try it first! It's a lot harder than you think. And because the curlers you see at the Olympics are so good, they make it look easy. I've curled for a long time. So my wife decided she wanted to try throwing a rock. She not only had a difficult time standing on the ice, she could barely move the rock. So of you think it's not a sport try it.

Invisible podiums! Nice!
Agreed with some of the comments above, the event is quite more boring than expected. And it's not easy to understand how points are given on most of the sports.
Also, expect just Japanlympics coverage.

Dude has a hell of a vertical leap! Bet he could at least dunk a golf ball!

Surely this should read 1998 Olympics ?
Moderator: Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected.

Congrats to Kobayashi!
It's both a symbol of the Turkish flag (red) and East Turkestan (blue)
