So watching the Olympics last night there were several things that i thought should change. It's an amazing thing to watch, but like most things, the Olympics is far from perfect. So three things that would improve it in my opinion....
1. The American announcers need to get a clue. I was watching the women's swimming relay (thing...not sure of the complete event name) and the Australian team was totally dominating. The U.S. wasn't doing bad...but we were in third behind China despite our best efforts. The Aussies were so far ahead of everyone that it wasnt even funny...yet it was, because as they were close to shattering the world record for the event the announcer kept screaming about how the Americans were catching up and THEY JUST MIGHT MAAAAAAAAKE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! No...it was no competition. Just because you are from America does not mean your team is going to win always...even tho you are doing the announcing.
2. Next Olympics, instead of gold medals, they should award golden statues of Michale Phelps. I don't feel that I really need to back this up, but I will anyway. Again, the guy is dominant. Watching a semifinal heat last night, he was behind for about half of the race, doing what some would refer to as LOLLYGAGGING. Then suddenly he wins by a full body length. The guy is just that good. While the women's relay kept going on and on I eventually decided that they were leaving the race wide open for Michael Phelps to come out of nowhere and win the relay...by himself. I said this as a joke...but seriously....
3. Something needs to happen with the judging. I don't understand how any of this works. I'm no expert, but stuff that i thought was bad was getting amazing scores and stuff that seemed flawless wasnt even placing.
Solution: Make them all go at once...on the same gymnastics set...last one standing wins.
