[Silver Persian]

hopefully we can pick up two golds tomorrow if Lenton doesn't crack and Jones does what she normally does

break our one gold every day run

 

[atreus]

apart from the swimming, sbs is showing so many better events. last night there was an epic women's volleyball match between china and cuba, where the cubans came back after 2 sets down and about 20+ match points to win. and think, at every match point the crowd was going wild as tho the chinese had already won.

If I hear a commentator say Beijing with a hard J I will go insane.

It's not like its about how China says it either, it's how Australians say it and the commentators are getting it fucking wrong.

American way?

Um... Pretty sure everyone I've ever encountered says it like "bay-scchhing"

 

[Zrap]

Okay so they have shown the 4 by 2 relay for the 50th time fuck

 

[stazi]

For those who wish to learn to pronounce Pei-ching or Beijing correctly, the first syllable sounds like American "bay" with a very low, dipping tonal-contour and the second syllable is like the fIrst syllable of "jingle" with a high, level tone: bǎy-jīng.


hahahhaha stef. that is quite funny and embarrassing. " I will kill those commentators. they're all wrong".

 

[Silver Persian]

Out of top five again

Who Has Taken Our Spot?

 

[ur_inner_child]

Then what the fuck have I been learning it off then? I can name a lot of people around me who have been pronouncing it the same way?

Shows how much I'm connected with my heritage.

Germany

atm it looks like a four way dogfight for third bw Aus, Italy, Germany and South Korea. Probably a late run from Russia as well...

And Australia will be screwed once the swimming stops

 

[Zrap]
