Americans are wimps when it comes to judging true sport. Go ahead drink you damn cheap beer and watch you f...ing baseball and basketball.

swimming has to be the easiest sport in the world to get a medal. They are competing against a truly TINY, TINY pool of people.
When I heard that my friend's sister had a shot at the olympics, I knew it was a joke. My friend has horrible athletic genes.
I'm thinking for this very reason I might get my kids into swimming. Best shot at "best athlete ever." LOL.
