Beijing 2008 - Olympic Games

"Unpossible"!

but.....

I admit that the fireworks at the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics were impressive, and hard to top...

...but just you wait and see what Al-Qaeda have got lined up for London in 2012.
j/k

^^Yes its crazy the amount of records being broken, especially when its by five seconds.  That in mind Phelps just keeps winning.

Wow! American ladies at softball. Intense pitching, awsome hitting and a rather nice display of feminine physique (except for the chub-a-dub power hitting transgender hopefuls).

Go Ulrich!

super Phelps does it again!

Sorry guys, when I disturb your Phelpsomania. These flood of records, loughable. What's the reason. The wonderdress? So why Phelps is swimming without it? The dolphin swimming during the start phase and the turns? The others practice it as well. So what's his real secret, a special and unknown kind of EPO or does he already practice genetic doping? If Phelps would be a Chinese swimmer or a White Russian everybody would expect him to take doping. But Western athletes don't do this, it's of course the spirit of the free world that gives them wings to go for gold.

Doping was very professional used in the former communist block. If we look at the results of especially the Russians, the Germans from GDR and the Romanians there can't be a doubt and especially in GDR we know the doping practice very detailed. When I was a little boy I added the GDR results and the FRG results together. We were the best....but now I know perhaps each GDR medall was a result of doping and I can't say how many of the FRG medalls were it too. But usually we say, perhaps only in Germany, I don't know: the East is doping, we not. But I agree with you, some countries have a doping history, some not. My doctor allways says, health is an unknown desease. So countries with no doping history are perhaps just countries were doping hunters weren't successful till now. I am convinced that there are sport disciplines were doping is common and others were it is not. Swimming, athletics, weight lifting, cycling and a lot more are doping disciplines for sure. The USA are the top nation in some of it, Marion Jones, Kelly White e.g or think of the female top US-swimmer, I forgot her name, who was tested positive.

Yes, that's right. There is a difference between countries in the way they act with doping athletes. But perhaps Ludmilla was what we call a "Bauernopfer" in German. I can't find it in my dictionary. Sorry even in my Swedish one. Now they can say: Look, the system is working! In some days we'll see some Swedish athletes in High jump and women's heptathlon. Are they clean? This is the most terrible effect of doping for me. We cannot be no longer sure that an athlete is clean. Every record, every medall we have to ask, if it was correct or not. This is sad. Wouldn't it be great if we could cheer without a doubt?
