Also, it would be far more impressive if he achieved medal status in multiple sports.

man those two girls are indeed athletic specimens..

x2 very hot, last night Shawn got another silver medal in her specialty.

What really pisses me off is how to show swimming so much!  I am swimming is swimming, it would look the same if joe schmoe was swimming in the pool.  It is so boring, nothing to see.

On the other hand lets watch some sports that look interesting NBC fuck!

Totally agree.

Swimming is only shown so much because MP is in it.

Phelps is done in Beijing.

Maybe they can focus on something other than the 24-hour-a-day-Michael-Phelps fellation session now...

a rich Olympian. That doesn't happen in America. Isn't Marion Jones broke as a joke?
are you saying that buying 20 escalades is possibly not the best long term wealth building/preservation strategy "BroadStreetBruiser"?

She lost a great deal of her money, which means that, at one time, she was rich.

I don't know what channels you guys are watching, switching between NBC, NBC HD, Telemundo, etc I have seen swimming, beach volley ball, crewing, equestrian, badmintion, cycling, marathon running,fencing along with the swimming, gymnastics and track/field, soccer,basketball,tennis...Never knew there was a trampoline event....Hated sychronized male diving.  Im looking forward to seeing table tennis, hope I didn't miss it.

Carl Lewis is pretty well off.

I still think Carl Lewis is the most impressive because he had to do multiple stuff like high jumps, sprinting and other things

Let's look objectively at his skill set. He swims fast. That's something that offers no real world value. Olympic groupies/fanboys are the only people who remember Olympians after their prime. It's not like he can flip swimming into a successful investment banking firm or become a lawyer. Chances are he'll end up in the multimillion dollar a year industry of swim coaching where all the fantasies become reality!

He's already signed on to be a spokesperson for some Chinese company, with the deal rumored to be worth around $4 million. Methinks he's going to do alright.

Do you have a $4 million+ net worth, BSB?  ???

Why work 120 hours a week as an i-banker when he can make just as much peddling products for companies?

I'm talking major sports star money. No doubt he'll sustain himself but as far as $$$ he can't touch a major sports star.

Really though... how much different is your life at 20 million than it is as 200 million?

Worldwide, he'll easily get $20 million in deals over the next 2 years, without a doubt.

I seriously doubt it.

That was your statement. Kinda silly huh?
