Give me 1/10th of his confidence...

Gee.. forget his skills, money, fame or whatever.. I just want 1/10th of his confidence.

Ronaldo: I have changed football

"The best candidate for the other prizes is Cristiano Ronaldo," the 23-year-old said."To be honest, I think I have been the most consistent and the best. And over time I want to enter the book of the all-time best players."

sheesh what a knob..

Hadi Saei is THE CHAMPION

Hadi Saei
Woohoo he just won gold a few minutes ago. It is amazing to see such a fighter in the game, he controlled his matches really well and scored when it mattered.. a champion indeed.
Not only is he such a good fighter, he is also an amazing sportsman.. I would like to see one fight where he doesn't hug and lift his opponent's arms as well to congratulate them for the good fight. AND he sold his medals to raise money to help victims of Bam's earthquake..
More athletes need to be like him... oh and if you can't tell am still addicted to Olympics :\

Olympic fever!

Sheesh, I have been hooked on to the Olympics. I did not watch the opening ceremony because I have no TV in my room. But a few days ago I disovered the awesome streaming by TVNZ.

So what have I been watching? Pretty much what is on at the time am on the computer. After watching the Judo and Greco-Roman wrestling matches I think the governing bodies of those sports should abolished and replaced. Way to make those amazing arts a boring, dull sporting contest. The athletes keep defending and only attack if they're behind and there is 20 seconds left. That is not cool, also the pointing system sucks! And no, am not saying this because am bitter Iran's best chance of winning gold failed :( :( :(
I think they should just make the matches 10 minutes long and see who throws the other around more.

To think of it, watching Taekwondo fights in previous Olympics, it is not much different. Those dumb rules are destroying the game. Also you sometimes get people winning by a single point, even if they were not dominant at all! Same here, 10 minutes matches and whoever lands a pit-chagi (that's korean for back kick if I still recall) on the face wins :D

Yes I know am talking rubbish, I actually know nothing about the rules of those games hahaha.

I also watched the men's gymnastics competition, and it still amazes me what the human body could do. Its definitely the most impressive sport in the Olympics for me in terms of ability. But then again I couldn't really tell a difference between a 13 point and a 16.6 point performance, which apparently is huge according to the commentators!

Hmm am definitely looking forward to the rowing finals, one of my classmates is big into rowing and used to row with Nathan Cohen in the NZ double sculls team, so it should be fun seeing how it goes.

Strongest man in the world...

Hossein Rezazadeh announced his retirement few days.... Noooooooooooooooo

Now I miss the chance of telling everyone how "the strongest man in the world" is from my country (kinda).... such a shame also about retiring before getting another gold medal in Beijing...

At least we won't be seeing the whole "ya aboul fazl" crap again..
