That american diving commentator needs to suck it and shut up.
Always nitpicking the chinese divers, while allowing for large spashes and other form breaks by the non-chinese.
Sorry bitch- we got our swimming medals, let the chinese have their diving ones.

Not chinese 😀, not that it matters.
But damn, I understand that she wants better non-chinese divers for a better competition.
Well, they gotta practice harder, 24-7, in a better funded program than what the americans, canadians or other non-chinese have.

We haven't had a good diver since Louganis retired.

Oh yeah, prolly the most naturally gifted diver ever.
Ever time he did that back 3 1/2 off the platform, I'm thinking- WATCH UR HEAD!:Q
 
Phelps may be the most medalled, but I'd say Usain Bolt is the best athlete by far in these olympics.
He strolled into the 200m finals, easing up at 150m while others still struggled just to qualify.
He should enter the long jump- I see an easy 30ft is within reach, maybe even 10 meters. Guy is insane.
 
i'm confused by NBC's late-night format.

When is Bolt running for the 200m final? I thought the 200m final was a few minutes ago.. but that was the qualifying!!! THen NBC switches to gymnastics?

They seem to be behind from whats posted on the NBC olympics site....BMX biking was scheduled for now 😕
 
Oh god is NBC's tv schedule ultimate crap tonight. All the track and gym finals we have already heard about and want to see are being held for the final hour. oh well folks, it ain't phelps and it ain't live, see ya tomorrow.
 
Our BMX girl just stacked the bike halfway through the heat 🙁

Britian owns all cycling - real pity if she is the only member of the cycling team not to get a medal.
 
We wuz robbed of the gold in the men's trampoline. The Chinese dude had a lower degree of difficulty and travelled quite a bit yet his performance somehow scored higher than the error-free routine of our Canadian representative. 😕

yeah at least we have the balance beam on now
 
I was watching the women's 10,000M swimming race on the NBC site. Pretty boring, but the live commentary was really good in explaining strategy and such. The russian girl, Larisa Ilchenko, RIPPED at the end. She had a great strat drafting the entire race.

Seriously, the amount of training they must go through to swim for two hours and then just go ALL out at the end after SIX miles.. I just can't even imagine it. Absolutely amazing.

She's pretty cute too: http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media...pg/_42705885_swim7.jpg
