Well done, Rafa! And really good to see you doing so well on the hard-court season after ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/871 Eleven days into the Games, and Bleungberg has been thoroughly enjoying the 29th Olympiad - watching upwards of 11 hours of coverage a day. As it is 20 years since Bleungberg watched his first Olympics opening ceremony from Seoul on a dreary afternoon in Hong Kong, here is a list ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/869 It's somewhat ironic that no sooner had Liu Xiang, the face of Beijing 2008 had limped out even before his title defence had begun, his successor should be found within 24 hours on the same track. Christine Ohuruogu - whose reputation had taken a severe battering thanks to her missing three ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/867 The other slippery fuck to bite the bullet in recent days was, of course, everyone's favourite, that randy fucker Senator John Edwards. We told you ages ago that he was not to be trusted, and that his philadering would come back to haunt him - big time! - and it has. Cheating ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/865 Whilst Bleungberg's been busy lapping it up with a truly outstanding Olympic Games - thanks in part to NBC fucking up the schedule by making the swimming finals go off at 3.30am British time, we've been more than pleased to see the demise of two of our least favourite people ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/863 A few thoughts on the Olympics so far: 1) The Opening Ceremony was fantastic....so many people...which goes to prove that if China were to go to war with anybody, they can throw body after body into the battlefield. 2) The use of the PLA soldiers to raise the Olympic flag brought back ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/862 Bleungberg has a new candidate for least favourite Belgian - IOC President Jacques Rogge. Rogge joins megalomaniac murderer King Leopold and evil paedophile Marc Dutroux on this short list. Rogge's crime? Being blind, deaf and probably whatever you call it when someone can't smell! Experts have all said the air in ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/859 Andy Muray has finally made the breakthrough into the world's elite by securing his first Masters Series title in Cinncinatti, and has risen to the world number six spot, just behind Nikolai Davydenko and David Ferrer and the big three.   Only a matter of time that Murray leapfrogs the Russian ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/857 Four days before the Olympics and a grenade attack kills 16 policemen during morning exercises in the volatile province of Xinjiang... Fascinating to see the retaliatory responses by the Chinese military in the coming weeks if the terrorists were to strike the Games in Beijing! http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/855 Canada, for so long been overshadowed by its bloshy and interfering neighbour, has finally got one up on America in terms of notoriety. Well, two, if you count those body parts which were washed up on the shores of British Columbia earlier this summer. Anyway, of the two giants, America has ... http://bleungberg.com/blog/archives/853
