Olympics Forum

[Howard Mass]

We have noticed a lot of Olympic Threads on various forums.

About a month ago, we created an Olympics Forum in our Other Sports section for everyone to discuss The Beijing Games.

We hope to see many of you chatting with RealGM posters from all sports about what has been a great start to the Games.

Go USA!

Michael Phelps kicks ass!

That said, anyone find it odd that all of these swimming events are setting new world records? There was one race where all three medalists broke the previous record. Makes you wonder... is it improved training? Lotions or caps that reduce drag? Or dare I say it, a new undetectable hormone/steroid?

i left some michael phelps in the toilet this morning.

Is there a way to just record the USA basketball and baseball on my DVR, for those of us who have Comcast and don't want to stay up all night to watch the games? NBC just dumped both of them in a 10 hour glut of olympic stuff, most of which I could care less about.

The commentators were saying the other day that it's because of the new suits that the athletes have decided to wear, and the pool itself(the water cube) enhances the speed of the athletes.

I feel ya man, it sucks. I'm into the whole olympic thing, but i don't actually wanna watch badminton etc. they dont seem to do the greatest job of utilizing the 3 or 4 channels properly. NBC could have done a much better job imo.

My USA basketball is on the USA channel ( HD TOO)

Your DVR should reflect that info.

My recording is set for USA vs. Greece tomorrow at 5 am PST.

Here is the trick:

Go to My DVR then scroll down to "Set a Recording" then scroll to "Manual Recording".
You can then enter in all the info and only record the couple hours of the game....
Yea, Comcast sucks.

Good to see the USA get another medal in Greco Roman wrestling today.

That's three Olympics in a row where the US has showed well.

The Chinese government provided the documentation for the women gymnasts. That's all the IOC needs.
