So Federer was just throwing the match or what?

 

Looked more like old and tired after the marathon match in the semis.

[Magnetic Curses]

britain is winning an obnoxious amount of golds. reminds of canada's little medal puke a couple years ago.

 

Am I imagining it, or does the host country typically turn in more golds than usual?

 

No you're not imagining it. Host countries outperform.

I don't know enough about Bolt or the sport to really make a judgement.

 

I did see a puff piece on Bolt yesterday, which essentially said he used to be a middle-of-the-pack runner until he decided to focus more and become more determined. That's one heck of a jump in focus and determination if true.

Marta menegatti...where have you been all my life?

 

I found myself quietly rooting against the US in both beach volleyball matchups. Menegatti is hot as [expletive]. And the Czech team had much better bodies than the US girls they were facing.

[Soul]

They can always do a Maxim spread after the US girls beat the tar out of them.

McKayla completely blew it in the individuals. Like a ball put on a tee and a swing n' miss.

She's apparently not the nicest young lady in the world.

People who have dealt with her this week? She didn't seem to be a very gracious loser last night.

She was upset. What should she have done that she didn't do? She hugged the girl that beat her...
