Beijing Olympic

On the flip side, because we don't put nearly as much emphasis on sports and exercise our nation does not encourage or value health - as a result health care system is over loaded with issues relating to diet and obesity which winds up costing us more.... which could be spent on some great government funded programs, incentives for those who are active or budgeting more for our professional teams.

At the same time, breeding athletes is a little over the top.

LOL I agree with you about the health care system and the EPIDEMIC of obesity in North America - But those are selected athletes, they are in shape, they supposedly train and work out, we aren't talking about your average joe that just decides to go and play in the olympics - they are so-called pros and they are being ownt by Mongolia :D
 
Ya I kinda digressed with the last post. Was just in reply to our view of athletes in our country, how we do not revere them as icons (except hockey players) and they are just "other people"... it kind of lead to a totally different topic :bleh:

Maybe if they had more sports relating to hockey?
Field Hockey, Water Polo Hockey, Steeple Chasing Hockey, Volleyball....Hockey.

Yes it's great day! 3 medals: Gold, Silver and Bronze!
I believe Carol Huynh is Vietnamese. She wrestle super on last 2 matches!! I am having trouble viewing the video on CBC.ca video on demand.
Let's hope more medals on Sunday!
 
Why is it that CBC has such crappy coverage on their website? There is no way to watch individual events and if you want to watch an event that happened in the pasy, you are hooped....arrrgh.
