Bryan Clay is looking great the decatholon. If he wins it will he or the gymnast be on the Wheaties box first? I thought I heard Phelps will be on the Kellogs box?

How hard is it to hold on to a baton?

 

Did I miss something?

 

Think relays.

First did you watch any matches outside of the final today?

 

Second your basing your judgement on watching women? It's the same as watching softball and saying changes MLB needs to make based on that.

Yes, this. I'm a bit of a soccer fan and played for quite a while, so I enjoy watching if it's on but don't go out of my way to. I saw some of the men's soccer games and saw a little of a women's game a couple days later. I was amazed at how sloppy and disorganized it looked compared to the men's and even some of the previous women's matches I had watched in previous Olympics/World Cups. Plus, good lord are they slower than molasses.

Isn't it more like the NBA and WNBA? Softball and baseball are quite different.

That works too.

I would not have guessed that the most doped up athletes in the Olympics were the horses.

that beach vb match was awesome last night... it was also cool to see how excited may and walsh were about winning the gold. one might think it'd be "ho-hum" for them since they never lose, but it obviously meant a lot to them.

 

and then later on, great win by the women's indoor team in straight sets over cuba. they played really well - serve receive was great; it's been shaky at times during the olympics - and cuba played pretty damn bad too. i think they had one ace and 15 service errors. they've now knocked off the #2 (italy) and #3 (cuba) teams in the world to get to the gold medal match, and to win the gold they'll have to beat the #1 team, brasil.

 

i didn't get to watch it, but u.s. women lost by a goal in water polo to the nederland. silver medal is better than was expected, though.

[TruffleShuffle]

The women's soccer team had absolutely no business winning, but that was a very exciting match.

 

yeah amazing what can happen when you play the best goalie rather than a rusty 38 year old, huh?

Shawn Johnson is apparently headed for the front of the Wheaties box.

 

"We hope a cereal company will be announcing in the next few hours," Sheryl Shade, Johnson's agent, said with a sly look after her star client performed Wednesday in the Olympic gymnastics gala. "You can guess which one."

Why not Nastia? She won the all-around.

Watching the girls 4x100 that was a disgusting hand off, who taught them to receive a hand off that way? My Special Olympic kids work with a simple hand-off that is so much more efficient than that. the coaches should be shot!!!

 

Attention USOC: I am offering you my services to teach your coaches and athletes the proper technique in receiving a proper hand-off. My consultant fee is reasonable 50K one time price. I will return that money if you fail to win the gold.

something tells me that the handoff in the summer olympics needs to be a little faster than the handoff during a special olympics meet.

[TruffleShuffle]

someone tell the u.s. divers to stop eating food so that they can go into the water with no splash like the chinese.

They should just slap hands the baton serves no purpose.

I just watch one of greatest dives, I ever seen. Some China young lady just nailed a dive, and was reward 4 perfect 10s. No splash into the water, AT ALL.

yeah that was nails, she needed a good one to win the gold too. plus she's 15!!! at that age i'm pretty sure that i couldn't give a book report in front of 20 people in my english class without being completely terrified.

ESPN.com is saying the same thing.
