Impressive showing by the US men's gymnastics team!!
Although, I was hoping they could pull off a silver medal. Probably could have pulled it off if it weren't for the 2 poor pommel horse scores! Still an excellent job though. Better than expected! ::. Jeneka. .:: |

I completely agree. Jon Horton was just amazing and amazingly solid on everything I saw him do last night. But wasn't Alexander Artemov's pommel
gorgeous?? I missed the qualifying team round where they also qualify for the individual's, do we have anyone going for the all around on the men's
side?

Yes, Jon Horton definitely was sticking everything last night. And, Alexander Artemov's pommel horse was AMAZING!! I was holding my breath the ENTIRE time!
As for individual and all-around events, we have: Jon Horton for all-around and horizontal (high) bar Alexander Artemov for all-around and pommel horse ::. Jeneka. .:: |

Um, can we talk about the fact that:
1) a lot of the fireworks in the opening ceremonies were actually pre-recorded, digitally enhanced, and then inserted into the broadcast, and 2) the little girl who sang the Chinese national anthem was just lip-synching to the REAL singer's rendition---the real singer was told she was "unsuitable" for the job because of her buck teeth! Is nothing in this Olympics real? China sure is creating a masterpiece! |

Did he win his fourth? I caught a bit while I was video chatting but it looked like he was hacked off and I thought he might have lost.

He won it...and broke the world record. But he wanted a better time...so he was pissed. Ha ha. Only time I've ever seen an athlete win a medal, set a
record and still be mad at himself.

Michael Phelps is not human I've decided. Damn that boy can swim.
They gymnasts blew it hardcore. Still love 'em though! Oh, and you can't convince me those Chinese gymnasts are 15. No way. They look more like 9 or 10. MAYBE 12. Is anyone else annoyed by the woman that does commentary for the diving? She gets on my last nerve.

Jennifer.....I couldn't agree more about the lady doing to the diving commentary. I finally had to put her on mute because she was driving me nuts.
I have been totally useless at work all week because of the Olympics. The swimming has been crazy good. Now if Katie Hoff could just win a race I'd be an even happier swimming fan.

I didn't notice the diving commentator, but holy SHIT is the gymnastics commentator ever harsh! "That was horrible. Incorrect form, elbows bent, I
think he might have hit his head because that landing was just awful."

Did you guys see the weight lifter dislocate his elbow? Holy!
I liked how they "hid" him with the little white thingies. I think, a Canadian came in 5th in a trial for swimming! Yes! p |
