i wonder, now, what would happen if they had like mini-olympics where everyone actually had a chance, like the entire olympics were split into thirds and done aorund the world?
i mean who's to really say that they are the fastest, or strongest, or more athletic in the world, when it's obvious that chance plays a large role in the olympics, at least for the track and field part of it.

How exactly does chance play a part in an individual sport like track and field anyway? I guess theoretically if there was a wind in the runners' face it would slow them down. But it would apply the same force to each runner, so it wouldn't be an individual handicap.
Chance is like...a bad hop in baseball that leaves the shortstop moaning in pain instead of making a clean double play... or a fan sticking their glove out and messing up what should have been an easy foul ball out... or a sudden crosswind just as the kicker attempts a 25 yard field goal in overtime during the Super Bowl... or a fly landing on a boxer's nose and distracting him for 1/100th of a second while the other boxer plows his fist through his face.
But not track and field.

"They" don't have "our" jobs.
It's just that American CEO's, while collecting phat ca$h themselves, feel that they should pay their employees jack shit and produce an inferior product, just so they can have elite balance sheets and income statements.

who gave you permission to respond?
when i try i'm generally out doing something i half care about, i move my fingers over a keyboard to this board, and little more.
if you wanna see me try you'll have to do better than that.
your low brow remarks are repetitive since i see you use them all the time, it's boring, it's like watching a blind person play something with the volume all the way down, and being in the other room with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears, its almost self defeating responding to you, its sad that i have nothing better to do than inform you on how much of a waste you are, were, and forever will be.
please die saving your family from a fire.

2nd most populus country in the world. Last olympics, I think they took home ONE medal. A bronze in female weight lifting.

question is where in india would they have it?
india is developing quite fast especially in the tech sector, not to mention that they are a nuclear power.
by 2016 i would not be surprised if they were part of the first world or getting quite close.
the advertising would be a f*****g bonanza, how many people live in india? a little over a billion?
