Its hard to stop him though!

That's true...

The relay could be his downfall.

Well...

1. I hope he does his best, at such an even as this. In his place, I wouldn't give a crap about anyone being annoyed by what I do, what records I break, and etc, because it's my sport, my work, my effort, my results, my joy. Besides, Phelps himself mentioned in a press conference that he doesn't think about the records, it's all part of the press reminding him of that, he simply thinks of doing his best, because, after much training and years of practice and perfection, well, it's the best thing man can strive to do, right?

2. C'est la vie.

3. C'est la vie, yet again. I don't understand the moves either, but it's a fair sport to watch.

4. I guess that, by thinking of ancient male strength competitions, the idea of lifting weights doesn't sound so abberant.

5. C'est la vie. I find it so hard, it's definitely an art knowing to sail. Even more, to compete.

6. What's the Ginga you're refering to?

That's what I meant... he comes across as a nice guy, a not arrogant guy who's trying his best and yes, perhaps he deserves all those Golds and World Records (except the VdGG album, only us proggers are allowed that ) but for the sake of the press, I hope he doesn't.  The press annoy me so much! 2. C'est la vie. I cannot always tell the quality of performances... I understand falling over/off is bad but landings always seem to be wobbly and stuff yet they still get highers scores than some others who have better landings... it's all to do with the difficulty.  Plus the Floor performances never seem to fit the music... 3. C'est la vie, yet again. I don't understand the moves either, but it's a fair sport to watch. It's mostly the rules... it just looks like falling over and grabbing... 4. I guess that, by thinking of ancient male strength competitions, the idea of lifting weights doesn't sound so abberant. Oh I know that but it's so uninteresting!  Plus they damage their bodies so much, it's silly. 5. C'est la vie. I find it so hard, it's definitely an art knowing to sail. Even more, to compete. Oh it is an art but I cannot tell who the hell is in the lead... plus there's several rounds... 6. What's the Ginga you're refering to? I don't know what it is, that's why i was asking.   It's some kind of jump/snatch/spin thing on the unparallel bars.

Okay, James, I'm more satisfied with your arguments this time.

Well, after he wins, the press can talk, and talk, and talk, and then life goes on. Who cares about the press? They even irritate Federer with losing his no.1 next Monday, and he says "don't care". pff... 2. C'est la vie. I cannot always tell the quality of performances...

Wobbly and stuff landings mostly means there will be deductions... About the difficulty, I think anyone can judge how well the person performed technically, because that's the case: technicality. 6.

Ok/...must be a move that was invented by one "Ginga'...

I think Area is the best band no one's talking about.

That reminds me... must listen to Arbeit Macht Frei sometime soon, especially as I have it on CD.

I need to hear them! Which album do you recommend first?

Oh, it's Geinger and it's a D Value skill on the Asymmetric Bars.

Why wouldn't it be?
