    The girl who plays ping pong yells at every point shem makes, does that mean she is arrogant and disrespectful?

    No, she just gets up the nose and makes people switch channels.

    This question is probably unfair to Michael Phelps.

    Agreed. It was all four team members, not just (or particularly) Phelps, and it wasn't so much the yelling (they all do that) as the in-your-face body language that was offputting. As was mentioned higher up the thread, reminiscent of moronic football…

    I'm not sure which race you're talking about. I saw the 4x100 men's freestyle relay.

    That's the one.

    I would have done a triple axel flip into the pool the instant Lezak touched the wall.

    ...and got your team disqualified 'cos other teams were still coming in...... :-0

    threaten a neighbor, occupy a capital, and overthrow a government, and get away with it. Things have changed.

    See, the key is threatening a neighbour. If you launch an invasion halfway across the world, occupy a capital and overthrow a government, you'll likely get away with it. (If losing over…

    You have to have 40 years of payments to be eligible for the full pension, but age is also a factor. Pension used to be paid from age 60, but it's gradually being raised; a person retiring this year will not receive a pension until they reach 64. So he…

    There's no 'rhetoric'. The question at the top of the thread is about his actions on winning a race. The actions of the winning US relay team were still pretty off-putting. If it makes him look like an arrogant loudmouth when he isn't really, then maybe he would be well…

    Phelps quote -

    "It's not over yet - I am not unbeatable and anything can happen in the next three events."

    So he's not really arrogant. More's the pity he's given so many people that impression. Let's see how he acts when (if) he loses. That's the litmus test of…

    Apparently roughly twice as many athletes failed drugs tests in the lead-up to the Beijing Games as did in the lead-up to Athens - 37 as opposed to 19. This doesn't mean that more athletes are using drugs, but that the testing methods are getting better.

    I hope none of…

    browny -

    Not a single public elementary school. Most (All?) private schools have them, and most junior/senior highs, public and private.

    Can't say I approve of means testing where children are involved; it isn't the child's fault if it has skinflint parents who can but won't cough up. If we…

    Kosuke Kitajima...... chose the high-technology LZR Racer developed by British maker Speedo, instead of Mizuno brand swimsuit he has worn in the past.

    A Mizuno spokesman vows to take its revenge when the next Olympic Games open in London in 2012.

    Sounds like they're thinking of taking out a contract…
