"Seaphan, what is the Olympic games about? Yes, we all know it is a way to bring together the peoples of the world, but most importantly its about representing your country. In my opinion the U.S's domination of the medal count is in no way legitiment. Russian and Chinese domination is legitiment in that almost all their athletes are ethinically Russian and Chinese respectivily."

You have an intresting point of view. Maybe turkey should be banned from the olympics as well...and azerbadjian..and USA...as they are really false nations, accorining to me anyway.But the olympics is not about politics, but about the athlets as seaphan said.

Very cool Darorinag. Thanks.

Would you know when the next sport event(s) (that these athletes are involved in) would be to watch on television (NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, etc.)?

I am yet to find a compiled schedule for the Armenian team.

There's an Armenian competing in weightlifting tomorrow (SAT 21 AUG 2004 - Start Time: 20:00). You'll have to check out with the TV stations to see if they are showing those particular ones.

Men's Light Fly Weight (48kg) Round of 16 - ALI Najah (Iraq) vs NALBANDYAN Aleksan (Armenia) August 21, 2004 : 20:45 - 20:56

That's all I could come up with from those who haven't yet competed or have made it to the next round. The wrestling start lists haven't been posted.

Anyway, you can check out the schedules here:

Very cool man. I appreciate it.

Seaphan, what is the Olympic games about? Yes, we all know it is a way to bring together the peoples of the world, but most importantly its about representing your country. In my opinion the U.S's domination of the medal count is in no way legitiment. Russian and Chinese domination is legitiment in that almost all their athletes are ethinically Russian and Chinese respectivily.

Lastly, outside of gymnastics, swimming, and track it is not very competitive. When is the last time Americans have a won a world cup? Most of their athletes are pros anyway, so, that makes a big difference as well.

That's what makes this country so great. No other country in the world could support the statement that "All the athletes come with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, but can all play under the same banner of a country" with any validity.

I HATE DELAY!!! The east coast gets to watch the olypmics and todays basketball game LIVE...but nooooo, the west coast has to wait until we know the score...east coast bias at a new low...bastards

[Darorinag]

I was watching USA vs Lithuania a while ago. Pretty boring. *yawn* I prefer watching beach volleyball lol..

[jilbagh]

let me guess...you woke up early to watch the mens trmpoline...damn ccan't even spell that word without it being censored...now thats a little outraged censoring

[Darorinag]

lollll, no, actually (since when is tr@mpoline a sport?? lollllllll so gay)... I woke up early to see the Armenians competing in boxing and weightlifting, but they didn't show it.

Anyway, the Armenian in men's 48 kg boxing defeated his Iraqi opponent 24 to 11. He advances to the quarterfinals, where he'll be playing against a chink.

Go Aleksan Nalbandyan!

Oh and apparently ,the Armenian weightlifter (85 kg category) finished 7th.

At least the freaking jews won ONE freaking bronze medal.

Edit: Men's beach volleyball is nice. *drool*

Ohhhh yes, and Russia beat USA in water polo!! wooooooooo!! but water polo players look so outrageously gay in those caps..

Yeah, and did you hear the Paul Hamm controversy? Apparently the Americans had some good friends among the judges.
