Olympics tidbits

1.saw calvin run for singapore yesterday
200m heats, wasn't it?
he didn't come in last! i'm so proud!
bleh, but i forgot to tape it for my bro...

2.was watching swimming 50m freestyle finals
this guy called Cesar from brazil won
from the replay underwater, it looked like he didn't take in any air while swimming
in fact, the commentator said he only took in air once on the blocks, and once during the race
that's it
for 50 m
that is mind-boggling!

3. did ya hear about the Chinese gymnastics controversy?
their women's team won gold
but there are rumours that some of the gymnasts are not old enough
some even say that they have proof that he kexin is only 14
if this is found to be true, then they rightfully should be stripped of their medal
but i hope not!
imagine how much they must have trained for this
and besides, the chinese are generally smaller than caucasians and such
so i hope it's just a case of stunted growth
because i pity those girls!
(in my opinion, kexin actually looks old enough; it's that deng linlin who looks 12!)

4. i love yang yilin's costume for the individual all-round women's gymnastics event!
it's so arsenal-istic, with it's deep red colour and white-coloured sleeves
jiang yuyuan's one wasn't too bad, either
(yilin's age is also disputed, although she definitely looks older than kexin and linlin
in fact, yilin's taller than shawn johnson!)
i'd pity them so much if they do get stripped of gold
cos interviews have shown that yilin last went home more than a year ago and hasn't had a holiday since
even on sundays she goes to the gym to "have fun"
such a sad life!

on another note, i have no idea if my medicine is working for me
sure, my voice is back 75%, but my coughing seems worse!
and i have only 1 1/2 doses of my cough medicine left!
blaaahhh
