Has any one noticed how empty the stands are?

I think there was some religious greek holiday or something. It's one of those 'don't leave your house things'. Add to that noone wants to pay 100s of dollars/euros/pesos/rupeees/whatevers, to travel and risk getting pipe bombed to see amatuers play crappy sports noone cares about. Powerwalking is now an olympic sport..... WALKING. Not running.... WALKING [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. And table tennis..... PING PONG IS A SUMMER GAME [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]!

Ahh pingpong! It's fun watching J-O in his fifth olympic, coming in with his slight beer belly beating the young slim players, that's why I watch it

(Means there's still hope for me
