The Olympics get me depressed.

I rowed with 2 guys who are in Athens rowing in the Canadian men's 8. I guess I could have been there too if I had completely put my life on hold for the past 4 years too, but it would have been an outside shot for sure. Definitely possible though.

This probably will sound dumb, but I'm just sick of all the winners. I mean congratulations and all, but what about the 100's of losers that didn't make it? Everyone wants athletes to win win win. In the end the overwhelming majority are gonna lose. What's wrong with just making it competitive and promoting the spectacle of the sport instead of the outcome? Seems the TV coverage only shows the medal rounds anyway...

Lets hear it for the underachievers!

/cheers for Canadian girl he knows who got a 9th place

Go Jen!

I've been wonder if gym memberships go up whenever the Olympics roll around. I imagine a lot of people see these atheletes competing and decide they're going to get in shape. Not that I expect many of them stick with it, but it would still be interesting to see numbers.

It has inspired me to get into really good shape again...
