Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Fantastic news!I am sorry I have not dropped into the German virtual hospitality room before now. I have been a little busy with work and when I get home, I seems to be addressing U.S. issues, trying to make those pesky Brits understand how we really count the medal tally (just kidding!) and watching the games coverage at the same time! I love watching Germany in the Olympics now. As you know, I am from a different era of these games. But the performance of Germany in these games is second to none. So here is raising a big glass of brewskie to you and congratulating you on just being Germany - and doing a great job. *clink* Thanks very much Todd - yeah I think it changed a lot after the cold war - therefore it was interesting to see during the Beijing Olympics how political the Olympic Games still are...

Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 congratulations to the German hockey team! thanks michael mhh - I think the German team performed in Beijing good, but I think it was visible that the German sports federation have to find a way, how to attract people to do "Leistungssport" (competitive sport) - and not just doing it, but winning, too.

Faster Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I am shocked and happy that Germany got by the 40 medal mark, so in told the countries I cheer for won 69 medals at these games including 22 gold. Great results to keep be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
