Every Medal Counts

The original listing of teams (the first post to this site, you can also find them below) has links to the pages for each country on each team. I will add links as teams earn medals. You can click those to keep track of your teams and medals.

If you have anything to add to the fantasy olympics page, e-mail:

fantasyolympics2008 [at] gmail.com

I will post anything I receive in an e-mail as long as it is pertaining to the olympic teams and isn't deemed too vulgar. This means you can bash other teams if you want.

Try to tell me that she’s not old enough. I heard she has 3 kids and has worked her way to the top of her company. Like a 13 year old could have done that.

James sent me a text at 7:56 this morning telling me that it’s time to wave the white flag. I kicked him off of the team. jerk!

Every Team is IN!

Every country that was drafted is now a medal earning country. (except wild card teams..) This is awesome! Here are the results today, expect another one soon since we’re closing in on the end of the games.

USA: 456, bastards

China: 397

Russia: 327

I’m still serious about Russia’s threat. They’ve risen to be the third highest country in medals, which is what we were expecting. Keep hope alive Russia!

It’s almost as if they’ve signed an Olympic “cease fire” to stop kicking ass, if you will, but they’ve continued to move their “tanks” of athletes into the Olympic gold medal standing behind our backs.

James said this should be our team song. A combination of chinese music and the japanese love of karaoke. Team China, hopefully this will stoke the comeback fire!

USA takes the lead again

USA: 333

Must be all of those Phelps golds!

China: 312

Russia: 230

There’s still a week left! Don’t give up, Russia. We are just now getting to a lot of the finals. I’m still expecting it to get closer.

Don’t forget that you can e-mail me any links to articles about your team, pictures of you flipping the bird at Michael Phelps, or whatever else you want to add to the page.

Looks like the USA has added a medal earning country. Scores update coming up with Greece added to the tally!

Don’t call it a comeback

I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia made a nice return. All I hear on the news is that Russia is always in the top three and it won’t be long. The lead is narrowing and there’s still plenty of time. China is only ahead of Russia by 56 points. That’s just 10 gold, 10 silver and 6 bronze. Between the whole team, that’s not a huge stretch. Here’s the update for this morning.

China- 168

USA- 150

Russia- 112

I personally would like to welcome the North Korean Olympic athletes to the outside world, it’s neat isn’t it?

They seem to be adjusting pretty well.
