    The Olympics is a good subject. I like reading and viewing pictures from bloggers in the International community, who are proud of their olympians.

    Hmmm, should have returned to this blog to catch the site’s direction. Prior to checking into this site, I found some interesting videos of the opening ceremonies, including a spoof edition; graphics and videos of that poor Hungarian weight lifer “Janos” - OWIE

    Found this little gem with scour, been using it to watch a game or two and the opening ceremonies.

    China’s sweeping the medals board, really a great exhibition of their talent. And Phelps is single handedly keeping Team USA on the board, 8 gold medals and I think 1 silver medal - but since the Olympics is weighted by number of gold medals won that’s 8 medals by one single athlete in one event alone - pretty incredible stuff.

    This weekend the Canadian won some medals! OMG it was about time wasn’t it…

    P.S. I’m Canadian!

    It was so nice to see how proud Canadians were when the boys and girls won the Gold Silver and Bronze

    With China stealing all the gold is sure doesn’t leave many for the brother countries such as Canada and America to share!

    Big congrats goes out to all the countries involved and wish the best for them all

    OMG seriously now I’m starving from that picture lol

    P.S.S. Add the blog engage image already cmon

    The Olympic is not only a get togather for games but it is the gathering for defferent cultures of the world, atheltes comes from all over the world, they meet and share thir views and culture too. The country where it helds has a great responsibility. China has shown that they are capable of organizing such events.
    Since being an Indian i feel that this Olympic has come with great opportunities for other games in India, as of now India is known for the cricket only, but this Olympic hs entirely changed the scenario of Indian games. No doubt China is on the top of the medal telly, but India has mora impact. Cause China had earlier said that they will be on the top in this Olympic, but India has won its first individual medal by Abhinav Bindra.

    I am loving watching the olympics. Olympics come usually every 4 years, so try not to miss them. The athletes from all over the world is just great to watch. I like watching beach volleyball, our mens team is doing great and misty and walsh are doing great. GOING for the GOLD! Water polo is also great to watch, those people are in AMAZING shape. Just unbelievable, i might comment later on, the olympics change every so often ;) GO USA!

    I think the Olympics would be the start of more competition in the world. Most of the star players of every sports are there representing their country. They play for honor and fame of being one of the legends.

    @ SCOUR ADMIN

    To my notice, the process of cashouts hasbeen delayed from scour for quite some time now ( as I have read on blogs etc.).

    I would suggest scour to either include this on the cashout directions page or the users to include in their mail themselves, for the ease of scour in terms of paying.

    SUBJECT: CASHOUT

    (in the MAIL):

    Username: xxxx

    Country: xxxx

    Points: xxxx

    Paypal Account: xxxx

    ————————————————————————————–

    Peace OUT :)>-

    Olympics is really a biggest chance for all the players to get-together and show their capabilities and set new records. Further encouraging people to come ahead with newer records.

    Well, Olympic games, where all nations regardless of their races,religion what so ever get together sharing cultures, views and the most important agenda is spotsmanship and tha’t what I like.
