OMG, dude came in grappling. No bones about it, he was wrapping Kumar up and taking him down to the matt. Continuously. And the only official warning, costing 2 points, was issued to Kumar because he got frustrated and pushed Donyrov off with a forum.

Kumar won the fight, by a big margian, and did a remarkable job of keeping his cool.

I admit that my skepticism about the US Men's basketball team is waning.

The main reason I don't like the NBA is lack of team play and lack of defense. After watching a lot fo the USA - Greece and USA- Spain (that game is currently at half time), I am impressed with how the US is doing both of these (I won't bore anyone with my analysis as to why). As GD said earlier in this thread, these guys have come to play.

And on another note.... .01 seconds. Wow. The Serbs protested, but the slow mo replay clearly showed the win (or so I read - I haven't examined the slo mo). I suppose this will give the freakishly small amount of time margin haters fodder.

The women's singles badminton finals were on. A shot hit the net and trickled over. The annoucer said "That landed like a butterfly with sore feet".

What??????

That Jamaican runner dude is freaking incredible. Looks like he's just jogging along, and is miles ahead of eveyone else. Bizarro.

Chinese iron grip on games slipping

A sad and somewhat revealing article on China and the games.

A non-competitive marathon doesn't not make good TV.

Even so, I am in AWE of the women running. The leader is consistently running a 5:25 mile. I can't run one 5:25 mile, let alone one at mile 25.

:eek:

Ohhhh, man! They rolled that tape out within her view! Can you imagine what was going through her head watching them roll "her" tape out?

Marathon finish... that is a HARD moment to enjoy! Look at her face!

We have skipped most of the women's marathon, but started watching as they were outside the Bird's Nest. We got a hearty laugh out of the lens being wiped down on live TV.

Okay, just have to say that the "escort" dresses are beautiful!
