The Americans actually won a medal in it in 2006.

And again, I have no idea why I know that.

Even ping pong is better than curling.

That's also in the Olympics. Every team is Chinese.




No, seriously. With sparing exceptions, every member of every table-tennis team at the Olympics was born in China. All the Americans were, certainly, and the bulk of most European nations, too.

I just remember that one armed woman playing. She was awesome.

Natalia Partyka (god am I a repository of useless information, or what?). Native Pole. One of two athletes that participated at both the Olympics and Paralympics last time 'round. I'm sure you know who the other was.

[SuperTigerMario]

I don't...

I don't remember his name but I remember he was a runner with no legs.

I don't remember his name but I remember he was a runner with no legs.

Good enough.

His name is Oscar Pistorius. This was one of my favorite moments of the London Olympics.

[MagicMurderBag7]

Heartwarming stuff. I really like the Olympics. Only time I ever watch a sporting event.


Holy cow! It's past 4AM. I gotta get some sleep.

I love the Olympics so damn much. Even the Winter Olympics, even though I've never really been able to get into sports like skiing (in its various forms) and figure skating. But I'll sure watch every second that I can next year.
