Wow. Just wow. That was incredible! We didn't think he could pull it out, but he did!

Well, if the unthinkable happens and she gets DQ'd, then she would be medal-less (I'm convinced the more that the CBC harps on and on about this, the more that they jinx our athletes. SIGH)

She's so great, telling the referee about the one gal's swimsuit and asking them to wait. The commentators were funny, talking about how much guts that took and I was thinking... well she IS 41, a bit more mature and experienced with life than your average Olympian.

I was so impressed and couldn't agree with you more. You probably wouldn't have seen a 16 year old in her first Olympics having the guts to do that. I think we saw her motherly instinct and her veteran knowledge.

When they were interviewing Dara she said that she was helping the Swedish girl get the new suit on after it had ripped. I like her even more now. Great sportmanship!

Are y'all ready for this? Hold onto your hats..... I'll post as a spoiler

Tyson Gay did NOT qualify for the finals in the 100m!!!!

I cannot believe it!!

Also, I just watched Roger Federer play in the gold medal round of men's doubles.

He was amazing! Maybe he should just forget about singles now that Nadal seems to have his number - he could have a whole new career beating the Bryan brothers (who btw won the bronze). :)

Water Polo team just upset number 1 Croatia, 7 - 5

^^That was the first time I've ever really gotten into a water polo game, it was pretty fun to watch.

I'm SO excited to watch some of the trampoline contests! I trained at a gym in high school with a coach that was a national competitor in tramp, and it was incredible to watch him practice. And those high quality trampolines are crazy to work on.

It seems weird to me that trampoline is a medal sport.

pbear19 08-16-2008 02:47 PM
It's a LOT harder than it looks!

I love trampoline it's soo intense...at my old all star gym we had a tramp team (but i never had the guts to join it)

Benzgirl 08-16-2008 02:54 PM
"tramp team" cracks me up.

The Chinese trampolinist that just went is named Dong Dong.
