Uy Manco, Te gustan peladitas. Ja Ja.

Las de gimnasia son niñitas. Tienen cuerpos de niñas de doce años. No gracias.

Mientras tanto, las de voleibol son unas hembrotas con cuerpos fabulosos y piel bien doradita. Hasta el equipo de las Chinas se ven bien de cuerpo. Las Brazileñas tienen unas muy buenas.




Gimnasia = Niñitas






Voleibol = Mujeres

Solo te estoy jodiendo.

Igual, anoche estaba viendo los Olímpicos y decían que la edad para las de gimnasia es mas como de 16 años. Hay acusaciones de que el equipo Chino tiene niñas de hasta doce años pero no lo pueden comprobar. De cualquier manera tienen cuerpos de niñitas. Yo prefiero esas mamasotas de voleibol.

En serio seria un buen deporte Olímpico para Colombia. No requiere de mucha infraestructura y creo que seria popular en el país. Lo único es que las mujeres altas no abundan en Colombia, pero si hay unas que otras.

Dramática eliminación del pesista colombiano Óscar Figueroa



Óscar Figueroa llegó con una lesión en la mano derecha.

El vallecaucano no pudo levantar 128 kilogramos en los tres intentos que tuvo y quedo por fuera en la división de 62 kilos del levantamiento de pesas.

El pesista colombiano Oscar Figueroa esperó cuatro años para llegar a Pekín y se despidió en cuestión de minutos.

Figueroa, quinto en Atenas 2004 y cuarto en el mundial de 2007, llegó a la justa arrastrando una lesión en la mano derecha que aparentemente no lo dejó competir a su usual nivel.

En sus tres intentos, Figueroa perdió el agarre con esa mano. En su primera ocasión, la barra se le resbaló en dos ocasiones, en la segunda en tres.

Luego de pasar un momento tras bastidores, su entrenador le colocó un vendaje en el pulgar de la mano derecha, pero el resultado fue el mismo. Dos intentos fallidos en los que perdía el control de la barra por el lado diestro.

Cuando el reloj para concluir su intento marcó 30 segundos, Figueroa soltó un grito para motivarse, la gente lo ovacionó, pero la barra simplemente no se logró despegar del suelo.

El colombiano salió del escenario con sus ilusiones rotas y en el camino al vestidor se dejó caer al suelo, comenzó a llorar y se tapó el rostro.

Su sueño olímpico, había terminado.

...A yo, déjenme queto y no me jodan má! ...

The silver medalist is not bashful (see asterisks below):
-----------------
Bogota - There was much celebration in the Colombian city of Tulua Monday after local weightlifter Diego Salazar won a silver at the Beijing Olympics in the men's 62-kilogramme event. Cheering fans in hundreds of vehicles adorned with Colombian flags were out on the streets of Tulua, in the south-western Colombian province of Valle del Cauca, a few minutes after Salazar, 27, won his medal.

Scores of people headed for the modest Internacional neighbourhood, where the sportsman's family lives.

Salazar won Colombia its tenth Olympic medal since 1972.

In Beijing, the weightlifter said his joy was undescribable. *****He also used the platform to ask his government to reward him with a house for his mother so that the family would no longer have to pay rent.

The silver medallist's mother, Rosalba Quintero, said she hoped the Colombian authorities would heed her son's request.********

The gold went to China's Zhang Xiangxiang.

The mother also said that her son was promised $6.000.000 pesos once and he was given only $1.000.000. President Uribe said Salazar will get $100.000.000 pesos from Coldeportes.

Salazar´s mothers works cleaning somebody else family, her boss gave her 15 days pay vacations and would give Diego a gift once he comes back.

When a reporter asked his manager how would he explain Salazars victory, he said Patriotism.

There is so much wasted talent in Colombia.

I don't know if there's much of an endorsement market in Colombia, but maybe Mr. Salazar can get his face plastered on those gallon jugs of protein powder or be a spokesman for a chain of gyms or something like that.

I have very good things to say of Bugueñas... though racist and elitist as they come. In Buga you had a lot of inbred children because people were forced to 'keep it in the family'.... I'm very happy my mom's family didn't share that idea. Though she was condemned for a while for marrying what was seen as a 'negro' because of his dark hair and dark eyes...
