Now there's something I hadn't thought of.... you mean the cyclists just... I mean.... don't they stop or anything?... how about the folks travelling right behind them ?? :eek:

Occasionally, they do stop but in a race like the Olympics, there is very little time. And if its the race leader(or the guy they think will have the best chance to win from the team) half the team drops back too draft/ pull you up too the pack after your flat or nature call.

Read at your own discretion here in this.



It's unwritten rule not too attack a respected rider(although that carries no weight whatsoever) but it still happens.

I don't know if anyone hasn't seen the event yet, so I'll spoiler this...

If there was any question of whether the "eyes" of the world are on Phelps, the pan across the gazillion cameras in anticipation of his 400 IM final answered that question.

I couldn't even count the number of lenses.

You should probably say what event in the future.

As is typical for our home, the Olympics are playing on the TV in the background when we're not watching movies. This is our first one in HD, so I'm probably watching more than I used to.

I love that NBC uses the theme from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr as one of its themes for their Olympics coverage... I think I'll have to pull out the DVD set when the games are over.

It was strange hearing it, esp when...

Yeah, flippy...

Can someone explain to me the appeal of the Olympic sport of horse dancing? I guess the proper name is "dressage", but it's horse dancing.

This is a sport? And an Olympic Sport?

??????????????

Doesn't strike me as any sillier than diving.
