Oh and I found myself taken over by the Olympics as I watched track and diving at the gym yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I now know that I need to be confined by an elliptical trainer to watch the Olympics.

Is it bad that i'm seriously cracking up @ the picture? The ref's face is priceless :D

That is some seriously anger management problems though. And I thought the wrestler who threw the bronze medal was bad.

Boo the video got taken down.

There were about 7 videos. I guess they shut them down as soon as the videos got reported.

omg!

that totally came out of nowhere!

everyone was standing around and all of a sudden, BAM! Right on the kisser!

Thanks for the link DST :)

Darn it! It's gone. :(

LOL...and now that video is gone. I guess they snatch them when people link them.

Leslie Ann: Just look up his name on youtube. About 5 of those links are gone now so hopefully you can still find something. Don't post the link because I think that means something. LOL.

What I find so crazy about the whole thing, is he was disqualified for taking too much injury time for a broken LEFT toe. What foot is he kicking the ref with?

Why haven't I seen any of the U.S. Olympians singing the National Anthem? I've seen other countries do it. Kinda gets me sad. Shawn Johnson was the only one I saw put her hand on her heart too. :(

Maybe I'm just watching it too much, but almost all of the swimmers both sang and had their hands on their hearts. I haven't seen it too much during the Track and Field competition though

None of the women in the 4x400 put their hands on their hearts. I usually give people a break about singing because I figure they are very emotional and reflective during the anthem. Those 4x400 athletes are the only ones I have noticed that didn't put their hands on their hearts.

Co-Sign. At least the women looked proud. I was a little embarrased about the men. Jeremy Warner looked completely bored.

??
All of the US Women's Gymnastic Team had their hands on their hearts, from the ceremonies I saw. Michael Phelps tried to sing (with his hand on his heart), but was too overcome.

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't seen most of the medal ceremonies, but I wasn't terribly upset by those I did see.

The men's basketball team all had their hands on their hearts and Kobe Bryant was singing his little heart out:)

It was so exciting - I, somehow, woke up in the middle of the night last night, and turned on the game, Spain kept it so close to the bitter end, and I was worried they might suffer a defeat like the women's softball team. When they won, they were so happy, like kids, jumping up and down and hugging. I loved it!!! Of course then I was so wound up I ended up not being able to go back to sleep:(

Naptime!!

I noticed that too. I was a little ticked off by it.

I think it was Kobe I saw during the opening ceremonies. Some other athletes from another country came over and asked him for autographs. Afterwards, I just caught part of what he said to them, "How do you say 'thank..." Seems he was asking how to say thank you in their language. :) Now, that's the Olympic spirit!
