Re: Mind's Eye Olympics

Maths lost me when accurate equation times were over and we got introduced to functions and vector calculating. I made the mistake to wait for it making sense.

Noah has been playing basketball for almost two years now. It has been doing him good to learn to become a team player. Before he was playing table tennis. I always go and watch him playing. I have already learned a lot what this game is about by listening to two expert fathers commenting on the game and explaining things to me. I usually sit close to them. This has helped me more than reading the 80 pages rules manual. I am still far from being able to see if the referees are doing a good job or not.

I saw they did good, but I have idea of what they did. A while back I read Wikipedia on cricket, it did normals a whole lot of sense. I really don't understate rugby either,was very interesting play .. 
I enjoy sports live but really not with it on television, (my wife is not a sports fan either (Olympic when the Netherlands is playing the international games)) sports have never been a big part of my life. There were free  and good seats to the Oakland raider home games I never went. Went to a few pro and minor league games. Liked them but even then I never paid for tickets Justus not that interesting.
I would like to see a cricket match with someone that understood the game.
 Didn't like the jocks several if them writhe bullies in school so did not like them.. did not understand the emphasis on sports thatdoes not make whole lot of sense,

There's usually a game on in England somewhere.  The season starts next week.  There are teams in Holland that will be starting soon.  Holland have just bowled out South Africa for 145 in the world T20 and reached a winnable position in the batting (Myburgh was the star) before falling away with some stupid shots and a run out needing only 22 to win.  They got within in 7 of the best team in the world.

It would be interesting but an very expensive trip to the south pole..  new years day would provide 24 hr of day light and mid summer at the south pole..  what about a game that is closer like England...?  even cheap minor games will do..  just want to see a game and be able to ask questions live..

I used to turn out regularly on New Year's Day.  Never got the international call, but cricket has even been played near the South Pole.  I think the penguins won.

Britain would have won but rejected my coaching advice.  This was two-fold.  First swamp the show with events reliant on miserable drizzle, or second steal all the gold while everyone else is competing to break their necks on ice or snow.  Our total budget was only enough to buy a scrap pram frame.  Finding this ruled-out for the 4-man bobsleigh on health and safety grounds trumped up by German judges, some plucky British lass ran it down the mountain for kicks and won gold in the skeleton-creating luge or somesuch. 

The Netherlands also won the last winter cricket world cup in Switzerland Allan (I kid not).

That's what I mean. You cannot compete with "not bad"ers, they're always referring to another time and another goold, which is very much against the Olympic idea/spirit. Thanks for making my point.

I am not a big sports fan.. but this was surprising.. as in my youth i liked speed skates.. but was never that good.. For the small country performance I think Europe can hold it head high..   Norway withdrew from the speed skating because they felt they could not win..
The one that really amazed me was the chinese lady that took gold in one of the events..  she skated like her tail was on fire.  (maybe an afterburner)  she was both extremely good and fast.. and I mean fast..

My baby has turned 16 today. I am very glad he hasn't developed along the "not bad" line. Actually, when he was younger and used that expression I made him solve a math equation to raise his awareness for the two sides of the equation. Not bad style is bad style on this scale. As for sports and nationalism and easy counting, yes I do see the positive entertainment aspect for the masses. Well done, Netherlands!

Just watched the end of the games and am very surprised the  Netherlands came in in 5th place.  with a total of 24 medals 8 gold 7 silver and 9 bronze 

who would have expected that..  I had nothing to do with it except here is where I live..
Deutschland (Germany) 6th
Switzerland  7th

not bad ranking for small countries
