Is your mom in Nova Scotia right now?

I managed to cut her off "MOM! You're 4 hours ahead! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW".

Thankfully she comes home tomorrow.

When did they add instant replay to the judging arsenal for gymnastics?

First, judges on the floor give initial scores. Then the head judge can authorize a second look in which a gymnast's scores can be devalued or increased based on slow motion or regular speed replays. :eek:

Even after that, I'm guessing it still isn't going to "fix" the judging problems. :rolleyes:

Dear Michael Phelps

When on the medal stand and the National Anthem is playing, the protocol is to put your hand over your heart; NOT to grab your left breast.

Sincerely,
Me

I hate to tell you but your final event won't be finished until nearly 12:30am your time. :(

I cheated. I looked at the final results on line - then went to bed. I can't stay up to 1:00 am then get up at 6. My body will scream.
