OMFG!!!! U.S. mens relay swim team snatches the gold from the french!!!! So close and the smashed the WR.  I love it when talking Sh*t back fires....take that France hehe!

What I find most amazing (and that whole race was awesome!) is that first and second place were separated by 0.08 seconds, but they smashed the previous world record by four seconds.

The white bikinis are HOT!!!!

Also, that kinesio tape on KW works miracles!  I had it on my left shoulder (pulled a muscle) and it sped up my recovery time in no time.

During their post-match interview, I was thinking that if this was on CBS, they would have blurred out Walsh's chest.

Yeah..what a let down on that event.  That first guy just laid down on the horse.  Raj didn't do crap for difficulty but the Russian-Amer guy did great under the pressure.  They still got a medal but it should've been silver!!

Really I could care less about the Olympics(except Basketball), but this article about Yao is awesome..... I really respect him so the fact that the author is heaping praises as well may color my view.

BTW, I used to enjoy the games when they were all played on a four year cycle and it was truely an amatuer competion. Now you have games every two years and they expect me to make as big of a deal out of it.... it's not. And the purity of purpose has been diluted. It used to be athletes that wanted to go had to forego the money grab till after they won their gold, making it very clear what a persons priorities were, and their desire to be the best.

...and it was truely an amatuer competion.

when exactly was that? i mean, the US wasn't sending pros, but other countries were sending athletes that were raised and cared for by their government to be their official representatives. how was that viewed as amateur?

Now you have games every two years and they expect me to make as big of a deal out of it....

only since 1992. i kinda like the fact that they alternate every 2 years.
