More Sport Observations

  • Van den Hoogenband would make a very good sports commentator, judging by the reaction he gave at the finish of the 10 km swim event. He is very much in the same league as Jack Van Gelder. Yes, THAT Jack Van Gelder.
  • The Olympics track and field competition is becoming a lot like the WWE. Usain Bolt is quite nearly like The Rock. Confident, cocky, entertaining... and absolutely the best at what he does (and again... we'll have to wait until a couple of weeks after the Olympics when he proves clean). If Jacques Rogge thinks it's disrespectful... well... that's very Vince McMahon. You got the heels (Thanou), the divas (the high jumping women), and the tragic faces (Liu Xiang); so it won't be long before we get the same shitty soap operas, like on RAW.
