Cheers to:
Michael Phelps -- It doesn't matter that you won't catch Spitz. You've shown in every event and are definitely golden.
Iraqi soccer team -- even if this is as far as you go, you will still go home winners. Our hearts are with you!
US Men's Gymnastics -- Excellent showing; great success story. We love you guys.
US Women's Gymnastics -- In one of the sports where we are not consistently dominant, you have shown yourselves to be champions
The land of Oz -- This will truly be your Olympics to remember
Ian Thorpe -- see above. A spectacular swimmer
Puerto Rico -- even if it was just a bunch of brainless idiots, it takes true champions to not let themselves get beaten in the head. You guys are superb (now, if you could just vote for statehood and take the place of those airheads we have representing our country at present...)
Greece -- Olympics are flowing smoothly despite preOlympic doubts (maybe this post could get me some free baklava?)
Jeers to
US Basketball -- I don't need to say any more on this
Iran -- poor sports, poor showing
All the Idiots who chose doping above trying to become a true champion: You have shamed your country, and your chosen sports.
