Offical 2008 Summer Olympics thread

Instead of the mass clutter of every event into many threads i have taken the liberty to create one thread for the entire games. Feel free to post predictions/rants/news etc all in this thread

Ok i dont know about you but i stayed up last night (in the eastern time zone) to watch the mens 4 x 100 relay, and i have to say it was the best race i have ever seen.

I will try to see if there is a video of the full race online so those who missed it can watch the entire thing

I have been watching daily. I have to say though in Gymnastics, it was leaning to much in favor of the Chinese who faulted often and not the same deductions. They are good but there was better. It looks as though there is going to possibly be some question as to the ages of the females on the China team, which could mean another gold for the American team.
Go Phelps ~!! He is a great swimmer, there are so many but I can't help but root for him.
Off to track & Field, another nail biter.

Anyone happen to catch the swim final last night with Phelps and Cavic ? Man oh Man, talk about close as hell(o) ! It is being protested and I am sure if I was Cavic I would too and I just adore Phelps, but..... I watched it over & over and I don't know how he came out the winner. Did I miss something ? Do I need glasses ? magnifying glass ? lol... That was way too close for me, I was screaming at the TV LMAO.

Yes he does ~~~ I would love to see him win gold again cause I simply do not think I will live long enough to ever see what he has done again in my life. He is sensational ~~!

Can you believe it both the men and women dropped the baton in the semi 400 meter relay for the US. Crazy.
