This is a small article about Jordyn Wieber: [url="http://www.dioceseoflansing.org/jordyn_wieber"]http://www.dioceseof...g/jordyn_wieber[/url] Also the faith magazine will share more about her in the next issue.

KnightofChrist Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 [quote name='Papist' timestamp='1343857581' post='2461262'] If by losing the gold medal game is winning, then yes they didn't lose. Let's hold hands and sing cumbaya. [/quote] I still don't think it's any thing to sneeze at. It's still an honor and far greater than what we who are prolly too fat and lazy to ever hope for such an reward in sports. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can only be one winner. Does not mean you can't take joy in the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway wahever I've not even seen the Olympics this year at all yet and I'll prolly miss them completely. TV is lame.

[/quote] I watched some of the playoffs because the hometown team was making a run. I believe they would call me a "fair-weather fan." But the NBA like most pro-sports is full of a bunch of spoiled brats. Basketball would be more enjoyable if the players were not speaking with an unpleasant disposition throughout the entire game. But I'd still like to see basketball replaced with something more international. I heard they were considering Wushu. I don't no what wushu is. Sounds delicious tho.

Jesus_lol Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Maybe it's just because im a gun nerd, but i find it amesome that the bronze medal winner for mens Double Trap shooting is a russian named Vasily Mosin.

You'd kind of [i]have [/i]to be a shooter with a name like Mosin Slightly less amesome - I was watching judo the other night, and the Australian team has a competitor named Mark Anthony (with his last name pronounced Antony). It made me chuckle It's a shame he's not a Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amppax Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 [quote name='Ice_nine' timestamp='1343930533' post='2461622'] how about basketball? The US always gets to the podium, and they only failed to get gold three times. I mean who in the HELL wants to watch Russia vs. Brazil play basketball? For realz. [/quote] People like me. And considering there are multiple NBA players on both teams, it was probably a good game. Also US 156- Nigeria 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
