that's because the german team lives just next to the polish team...and as the whole world know - the best girls are in PL

Ah very cool, yes you are polish. And I can tell you I had quite a fun time watching the Polish womens indoor volleyball team (while they lasted). :lovey:

I don't think the board needs yet another Olympics thread so I'll post this here.

so...let's count... lets say there are 5k women and 5k guys.... 100k/5k it's 20. lets say they spend in Beijing 2 weeks = 14 days. 20/14 = 1.43...

Oh come one! It is not that much!

I like it when they tell the stories behind various athletes.

And then there will be some who forget using the condoms, some not having sex at all, some bringing their own condoms ... and suddenly for the active participants the number is up to 4 times a day :mrgreen:

I'll skip the athletic part (although training for it at the moment, but physical fitness can be useful also in different context

) ... :mrgreen:

You have great math skills.

That, or I like the way you think.

Oh, I forgot...... the womens Beach Volleyball. Followed by the mens Beach Volleyball. The diving comps were awesome. Oh there was so much to watch and so many great athletes from all over the world, I think this was a very good Olympics.
