Ahahaha!! So true!
I saw the diving and swimming and enjoyed it. A lot. Who won by the way?

The US one the 4x200 relay, or whatever it was called.
Beat out the Aussies by .13 second or something insanely close like that. The US also got a gold in something else because I saw it, but don't remember what.
At any rate, that is a very stirring rendition of the (US) national anthemn they play there. It definately moved me, and I wish I could get it from somewhere.

I watched the coverage from 8pm - 9pm this evening hoping to see the entire womens volleyball match, but no it is just a few clips. I wish, I had access to coverage on HDTV, the prime time stuff just isnt that great.

Did you see the Australian athlete who won gold in the shooting, but couldn't keep the olive branches on her head due to thhe wind?
How ironic.
No, I missed the shooting. But I did see the American Gold medalist Fencer nearly lose hers last night
I've been watching Tennis and Boxing in the afternoons, as well as catching the swimming in the evenings.
I honestly think that NBC is time-delaying their broadcasts so that events happening at 4pm in Greece are shown at 4pm EST USA.

I thought it was funny.
On a related note, anyone who thinks female gymnist uniforms should be thicker needs to turn in their balls and be exiled from the male gender.

I dunno. Some of those girls are what, 12? I'm all about ladies in tight clothes, but I prefer them after puberty.

I don't think any of the US gymnists are over the age of 16.
So, if you guys want to see Women complete, look at Track, Swimming, and VolleyBall.

Okay, I confess freely, I haven't watched any of the Olympic coverage at all so I have no idea as to the respective ages of the athletes. My objection was more on general principle.

I appreciate the volleyball uniforms.

I think there were a few 18. Maybe 18+ too. Can't remember.

I don't know about Swimming... There was at least one 15 year old there. And, what was it, eight years ago, that one 14 year old who is now the sex goddess? Something I agree with totally, BTW. At any rate, swimming ain't any safer.
Now, volleyball...which one? "Regular" or beach? Because yes, beach volleyball uniforms are teh l33t sexy, IMO.

Mohini Bardwahj is 25 and a super-freaky hottie
I think she is the exception to the rule, most of the gymnasts are pretty young (and their bodies somewhat underdeveloped due to the stress and damage of training they go through)
