I thought Iīd just give you the latest (interesting) news about the Olympic Games.
One of the gymnasts from Russia managed to fall down both from the bars, and from the pole-thingy while doing her excercises. Not a bad achievement :)
A guy from a country(dunno which) had never tried swimming in a pool, only in rivers filled with crocodiles. But his country got an invitation to be in a competition for countries that didnīt have tradition in professional swimming. There were only two other contestants. Both of them started too early in the competition so they got disqualified. So the dude ran off with the gold medal, being the only guy in the competition and with the longest time in Olympic history. :)
Uri Geller has now revealed that it was in fact him that made the upper-half of the flame stall during the opening ceremony. Personally I do think he could have told us before he did it :) In any case, letīs make the Olympic Committee send him a million dollar bill for having sabotaged the ceremony :)
Well, should the unlikely event happen that any other interesting things take place at the Olympics, Iīll put up another message :)

Oh, a couple of guys in team-swimming also broke the world record. But who cares.
