The Olympic Games

[Tiburon]

Will you be watching any of the lifting from Brazil?

[Mark Rippetoe]

I will not watch any of the Olympics on purpose.

I sort of recall someone asked you this same question four years ago and your answer has not changed.

Will you be watching any of the lifting from Brazil?

Better to stay in the States and not watch from there, save the cost of the airfare.

[jeb]

Fairly new to all this. Why Rip?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Takes too long, Jeb. Look it up.

[MBasic]

. . .and Felix Wankel doesn't watch the Indianapolis 500 either.

Takes too long, Jeb. Look it up.

Found several. I gets it now. I guess I'll watch to see how it is done correctly.

Would you watch any of the weight lifting if they pulled from the floor correctly? Or would that still violate the principle of your boycott?

[Bobr]

I must say I was surprised to see Pyrros Dimas accompanying the -48 kg USA weightlifter girl. Maybe there is hope for the future, getting proper coaches?

Why do you think my boycott has anything whatsoever to do with floor pulls????????
